once again, I do not stand openmouthed before trick poetry so I judge your post by it's rhymes and it's wit and the
correct spelling, etc. Excellent.

I know absolutely nothing about the rondeau redouble poem, but I do know what I like! This is a really nicely-written poem and has a funny message about putting off 'til tomorrow what we can do today, especially exercising and dieting!

Your meter is perfect, and your rhyming is very well done. Your use of enjambment and alliteration make for a great flow.

Seems this is a really good entry for the contest. Best of luck! Alana

Good stuff. It reminds me of the song from Annie: "I'll love you tomorrow." But if it's sang every day, then tomorrow never arrives. Back to exercise, the only way for people to increase their potential to get moving is to say to themselves: "The future is now."

In my case, the future is next week - yes, it really is!

Thanks for stopping by.

This is such an amusing Rondeau Redouble, correct in form and s
uch a good read. The easiest things to break are good intentions. LOL. I'll exercise tomorrow' - I wanted to add 'Yes I will, Yes I will'. It bounced along so well, that I was adding little bits like that as I read. A good entry for the contest. Good Luck. By the way ha anyone told you tomorrow never comes. LOL. Warm regards Dorothy

On how I can relate to your poem
Every word you said was true
I did a few excise sometime last month.
I look in the mirror and wonder why I'm always invited out to lunch.
Thank you for sharing.

I relate strongly to this. Clearly seeing the importance of diet and exercise, yet knowing how tough it is to get going. I've got a belly that's probably seven inches over...

Thanks for sharing!

Oh Wow this is good. I love the personification in fixation imagery of the turtle and the poem. Great alliteration and lots of creativity my friend.

Best wishes in the contest
