Dang, is that a chocolate cream pie you're tempting me with? Not fair!!!
I enjoy eating and fortunately I do not need to diet (don't hold that against me)...
I enjoyed your poems premise and presentation.
Good luck on your dieting or at least careful eating...
Cheers,
John

Thank you John. I find it amazing that you don't have a weight problem because you really seem to enjoy your food. May you enjoy the process of making it and watching the satisfied looks on the faces of those your cooked it fom.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
You are so cruel, Beth, putting that yummy chocolate pudding in front of me. I'm trying to lose some weight before I go back to the hospital with the hope they'll say they don't need to see me any more. (the extra weight affects my breathing) BUT I LOVE MY PUDDINGS!!! How can I lose the weight to gain my freedom when there is soooooo many lovely cakes and pies out there? Your poem made me smile knowing you did try, that's the main thing. I enjoyed reading your fun poem, even though you're cruel!!! Love and hugs, my friend. xxxx Sandra

Sandra, I hope you don't have a long hospital stay again. I get winded very easily when I'm walking and it might be my weight. I don't get winded when I do exercise in the pool. Thank for the review.

This contest entry is fun to read. I completely understand. I'm trying to limit my carb intake each day. I do go to the gym daily, and honestly enjoy it. Thank you for sharing this entry with us and good luck with the contest.

I'm the male version of this entry. I know better, but always choose the wrong foods. I guess it's my upbringing reminiscing about my grandmother's goodies and my mom's creme purrs.

Thank you Jim. I know better too but I also know from experience that if you lose and on a diet and they get off it you will gain more than back than you lost.

If I were judging, this would win. I hope the judges see it that way. It is so cleverly written with excellent tools of poetry, and it is really fun to read!
Good luck!

Thank you so much Verna. For some reason I enjoy this rhythm pattern. I appreciate you comments and the beautiful stars.

Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Forget the Diet, works through the good and bad points of dieting. It doesn't take long to see the bad parts are enormous and unloved, while the argument for ending the diet is obvious.

Comment from Ulla
Hahahaha, Beth, I loved this poem. To most people, as I understand it, it's very difficult to not be tempted with sweet things. For me it's easy, I don't like anything sweet, but I love real food.
Your poem is great and I hope it will do well. I really liked it. Ulla xcx

Than you Ulla, I glad you like my poem. I wish I didn't like sweets. I can cut them out for a while but chocolate calls out to me.
Beth Thanks so much for stars.
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
These indulgences sabotage any diet and I just don't eat cakes now. I hate diets so I try not to put weight on in the first place. I love my food, but we have to make sacrifices to stay healthy and not be tempted by sweet treats! Your poem is full of good rhymes and alliteration Beth and I enjoyed this temptation poem for the contest, it could be a winner, love Dolly x x x

Thank you Dolly, I don't really on a diet. It was all in fun. I'm glad you liked it. I do have a sweet but I try to eat a lot of fruits and vegetable. I love nuts but the dentist say no nuts for now.
Comment from Teri7
Beth, This is a really great poem you have penned for the Temptation Poetry contest. I have to agree with you that dieting is boring. You used great descriptive words and very yummy looking desert for the imagery. Best wishes in the contest. Teri

News alert! My dietician tells me it is not dieting anymore...
It is "Mindful Eating"
(Oh brother)
It could mindfully make a case to devour that pie!
(At least one slice...)
