This poem is loosely based on Hanna’s Boomerang Metaphor.
actually, now that i'm reading the lovely poems of others i realize i haven't followed this form at all! i have tried it twice and have not managed to get it right either time. apologies, Hannah. i am going to try AGAIN and i'll let you know when i accomplish it.
ReplyDeletei have to say i really dislike this poem. boo. too much whining, way too literal (though i wasn't really trying for that).
I can relate to it entirely.
ReplyDeletei don't approve of that, either. xo
DeleteWell... I haven't lost 30 lbs and I'm not one to avoid disapproval...
DeleteI LOVE this version of the boomerang!!!!!! It rocks. I envy you the thirty pounds. That is what I need to lose. In one month for my youngest daughter's wedding. Not gonna happen. Boo. Now I'm bummed. Hee hee. But cackling.
ReplyDeletebest response is to giggle!
DeleteI didn't quite get the prompt. then again, I'm not getting much these days - so much insanity crowds out the creative ~
ReplyDeletethat is for sure.
Deletethe form requires some repetition that i haven't been able to incorporate yet. i think i'll try again, we'll see.
I can't bear weight-based "compliments." Enough people have eating disorders that it is not a good idea. I much prefer to be complimented on something I did than on how I look.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to this poem!
