My Bikini Days Are Over

My traditional Saturday morning bit of fluff and nonsense. Re-posting for motivation for my upcoming trip to Mexico.

Looking in my full length mirror,

bikini days are done I fear

What once were proud, hang too low

and cellulite now steals the show

My glory days have come to pass

too much bounce and too much a*s

Gravity is not my friend

I now fall out when stooped to bend

It's not as bad as in my mind

but to myself, I'm seldom kind

I'm not twentyfive and should be proud

I should strut my stuff, it's allowed

Insecurities I must face

I'll wear the suit and OWN the place!

Down to the beach in skimpy suit

I'll sashay and leave them mute

into the water I'll dive with ease

(I really am a horrid tease)

Freedom is mine, I shall not care

what you think of what I wear!

I can wear a two-piece, yes I can

and still turn heads on any man

Confidence brims, hear me roar

bikini days are here once more!

back to the shore I boldly walk

amidst those eyes and all that talk

now what is this? what's the trouble?

I look down, it bursts my bubble

a quiet hush now, I wish there weren't

bikini swept off by ocean current

 

My bikini days are over.....

Lovely thought! Hey I see your pics we all have to live todays body if we have respected it. You look good still and without bikini bottoms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[quinfinn]

i'll bet she looks delicious in whatever she wears....

[David Scott]

My eyes are watering! LMAO! Your so funny. Enjoy the beach! Ha ha ha. I can't stop.

[LA Lorena]

LOL! Glad to give you a laugh back today. I owed you one.

[quinfinn]

this is great! too many women over the age of 25 feel as if they have to stay a perfect being all their lives, when the simple fact is...some men, myself included, absolutely adore a mature and confident woman. you exude the character of a goddess and it shows in this delightful and humorous write. well done!

[LA Lorena]

LOL! Can I kiss you now or later Quin? Did you know that my fave shade of lipstick is actually called Goddess? No word of a lie. I saw it, and had to have it for my own....it spoke to me!

[quinfinn]

if we ever meet i will gladly accept that kiss...and yes, goddess is quite appropos!

I'm not sure I should've read this. I can hear the woman saying this, like I'm standing in the room, and all I can do is have the sense to keep my mouth shut, and I can feel her eyes on me and that barely repressed anger simmering up. She's waiting for me to open my mouth . . . I think I'll go hide in the bomb shelter now . . .

[LA Lorena]

Ah, you're safe Kailer. No harm shall come to you. I encourage all to speak their mind.

The flow and the rhythm of this poem is wonderful. A very funny piece to read. Living here at the beach, I have sadly seen this poem play out more than once. Not to your climatic sad end, but close. (And it wasn''t a pretty sight to see.
Great write.

[KarinaT]

Still laughing! I love your sass and confidence. I would love to be like that. Oh still laughing and giggling. You made my evening :-))))

[LA Lorena]

Me sassy? does it show? Glad you enjoyed it, as it was certainly a fun one to write.

[Frieda P]

ROFLMAO, nothing short of brilliant my friend. I can laugh, my bikini days are over too! Really enjoyed myself reading this one.

[LA Lorena]

glad you enjoyed it. I like writing about silly little every day kinds of things the most.

[Frieda P]

Those are the best topics, I agree. I'm still rolling!

[LA Lorena]

I'll send u a link to another one that i did as a collaboration with another poet here.

[Chris]

...ah but such the sight!!

Daydreams are made of these!!

[LA Lorena]

LOL! Thanks Chris, nice to see you here.

[Eagle Cruagh]

Incredibly funny, cute and clever,
The poem rhymes and gets your attention,
it is a blast and wins my affection.
I loved the poem, there is some sadness
and melancholy, but the funny part prevails.
Thank you

That was highly enjoyable. I like how you go between cynical and comedic, it all flows and you have a really sharp wit when you write. And I also really like the irony of the twist ending, it makes the title all the more assuring.

PS- Noticed something factually incorrect...the sixth line isn't possible on any plane of reality, no matter who you are lol

[LA Lorena]

LOL! Thank you Demetri!
