Waist Watchers

I have so many jeans that I can wear. They lie inside a box upon my floor; in every color there I have a pair. With pants galore, I could not want for more! I don't take time to sift through all those clothes when I am in a rush and getting dressed. Nor do I have the time to stand and pose before my mirror to see which looks the best. The "Zanadi," flare-legged, and faded blue I grab with very little hesitation. From Asia, straight to Walmart, ( and it's true) they always fit (Oh, joy, less complication). And when those darn things feel a bit too tight, I diet till they hug my hips just right! By Andrea Dietrich For Nette onclaud's Contest: "It's In The Jeans"

When I entered the poem into your "I Am" contest earlier this year and said "I am a waist watcher", I had no idea you had written this. There is nothing new under the sun, haha! Fun sonnet!

The end is sweeeeet, Andrea. I grew up in a church where jeans were taboo...especially for women. This will be the best contest for Nette to judge. Can't wait to read all these great entries. Thanks for you support, Andrea. You are a most gifted poetess. We have a great community here, don't u agree? Gotta slow down writing a lil bit here bc school is getting more demanding over the next few weeks. I will pop in to say hello a time or two. Hugs to u! Gwendolen

I foolishly replied to you on my own thread. How much stupidity can one person hoard? lol. I'm from Cape Town in South Africa and I'm assuming you're from the States?
