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.....

HA HA i love the humor and the bare imagery of self reflection you have written from the point of view, of well; looking from inside to the outside of you...Your confident nature shines in your rhyming scheme of woman as plaster changing.. ...As you don't really like free verse, i don't care for rhyming poetry, but you have mastered the cadence of your craft well, enough to; I think you used the words.."sashay" it in skin deep splendor.......... good stuff

Like a fine wine, LA...we get better with age...
confidence breeds beauty and vice versa..and by the way, we NEVER see or hear ourselves as others do...I don't know if that's good, bad or indifferent....just my observation on life...A really fantastic, uplifting (no pun intended) write, LA...It flowed like a rushing, river current...

Laughing so much .. you have such a wonderful way of looking at life and self .. and mostly come out of whatever you put together with head held high and a roar of laughter. Just love it! Not sure about backsides cos I've always wanted one, boy bum sucks, long to wiggle with the best of them. Roared and am still laughing at the end of your poem .. there's now a pic going through my mind .. ummmmm .. best i stop there. xx

ROFL oh the ending is classic and so unexpected. I guess if the current washes away the bikini then the bikini days are surely over. I like how this started with insecurities and in the middle switched to confidence but the ending is just classic. Very cute write I really like it.

[FJ Davis]

A most pleasant and well-written romp!
The "end," it appears, is still very effective--though, perhaps, a bit copious.
Personally, I love your end.

Great humour in this very good poem, Loved it. :0)

[John Jackson (El Juero)]
