My Flaws Indeed Vs My Flawless Breed

My Flaws Indeed My nose is too flat, I have a double chin I am not sure when face wrinkles started to win My hair is curly, sometimes a frizzy mess A hand -held blow dryer is some days useless One leg is too short from a knee alternate It takes a great effort to walk really straight I have high arches, I cannot wear high heels Nor can I wear a dress, without curve appeals Cancer diagnosis left me, half a whole Why could it not have been my largest black mole I could go on and confess all of my flaws What the heck, I drew the shortest of the straws -------------------------------------------------------------- My Flawless Breed My smile is genuine, still have all my teeth To my family, genes I hope to bequeath My hearing is still good for all that it is worth But it was much better, at my precious birth My eyes see very well since I had R K Once saw a foot, now I see a mile away A sense of humor I do have plenty of I plan on sharing, with all the ones I love My heart is big enough to catch love to hold And strong enough until I get extremely old My talents are many just to name a few Most of all I treasure everything I do Copyright © 2010 By Caryl S.

Even though I was sad to hear about the cancer diagnosis (obviously you've beat it - hurray!), this poem is witty and entertaining. I like the way you compared your favorable qualities to your flaws, Caryl. This is a great entry for the contest, and I'm pulling for you to win. Love, Carolyn

wow, I see this very honest approach to the contest doing quite well in this interesting contest, Caryl. I am glad I came here and read this today. Luv ya, Andrea (ps. I did a poem like this a long time ago, it's easy to list all our flaws but in reality, I think more people are closer to flawless in the eyes of their maker)
