A few extra pounds

A few extra pounds weighed
heavy on her mind
But her electrifying smile
was one of a kind
The other girls in the office
could swish and sway
They thought slim and slender
would win the day
But their pride was hurt when
that man walked in
And just passed them by with
roses in hand
So handsome was he you could
hear them swoon
But his feet kept walking into
another room
His heart was set on the real and
true
That's what he saw in her eyes
so blue
He approached her desk and you
could hear no sound
He lay down the roses then
spun her around
The girl who could carry a pound
with grace
Was surely the desire of this mans
taste
And as he gently slipped her from
her office chair
The slim and slender had no
strength to bare.

both ways.

Lol that's so true but when your heavy that's usually a choice like I said usually not always angel

It's a poem about attitude, heart, and character.
An arrogant or conceited attitude can make the
most attractive seem undesireable.

This is a great poem cafetwo, there are all shapes and sizes, I thought it was a lovely tribute to all the plus sizes, I know when I was carrying around 13 stone, I was still the same person inside,
bravo

Exquisite Jim!

If I may say so, I really do think this is one of your very best - the guy ignoring the skinny, vacuous cat-walk models and handing the roses to a real woman... I love that!

Best wishes

Ty sinclair..A beautiful character seeks the
beauty in character.

Ty mimzy. Beautiful people go to the head
of the line first. But sooner or later they
must speak, and upon speaking must expose
much of their true nature. But many beautiful
people have great characters.

Lovely poem applause We live in an age of narcissism. This world is so full of shallow people. Words and conversation are dying. Beauty flows from virtue.
