(020) The Fat Poet Poem by Melvina Germain

Something about this visual will stick with me Melvina. I loved the image you've brought to my mind of this fat little poet. Gave me a smile this morning! Sincerely, Mary

A facinating conceptual, my dear....Eccentrically lucid in its message.... fjr

Melvina, I see what you meant when you asked me to read this. I don't think I'm fat, but about the hidden words, I'll agree with that. It is a lovely poem and I can relate to everything you say. A big, big 10 for this one. - David

Yes, one should not be greedy with his/her wisdom - we can teach, inspire, enflame with our poetry, you're right, Melvina. Nicely done.

Oh I love this one! LOL! The 'Fat' poet...I Also did get the point about holding out and not sharing all your poetry...come to think of it if I remember right, you said you have poems you have not shared yet..So get typing! ! ! ;) Awesome poem...Ten*stars! ! L, =Shelley=

You hit the nail on the head. I had only posted a dozen or so of my poems until recently, but have added most of the rest now - and it is liberating! Thanks Melvina.

I love your 'fat' usage! Awe, are you trying to tell us something? Perhaps some of us are hording poems. Maybe we're all stingy, and don't like sharing haha. It seems to me, that being fat, is being full of yourself, and wanting to keep all your lovely words close so that only you can savor their beauty when the world would love to partake of them - we're waiting for more, Melvina! -L.C.

Good write Melvina... a nice addition to your 'fat' body of work! Interesting choice of words and how you have used it outside of its usual context. Well done! Brian
