losing weight, a chore
watching my figure, ho hum
my jeans are fitting
wow, smiling, happy to see
gotta love those genes of mine
Oh, Those Genes of Mine is written for the Tanka Tuesday challenge. Colleen asks us to have fun with homophones. I chose jeans and genes for my poem.
Thank you for stopping by! 🙏🏽💞

Jeans and genes… I think we must be related. O’Nika, this was so cute. I love the photo too. 💖
Colleen, thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the poem. I measure my weight loss by how my clothes fit, so I thought jeans/genes was perfect. 😁 Thank you for the prompt. I enjoyed writing it. The photo is borrowed to fit the writing. Thanks again! 🙏🏽💕
Fun. I like it. Thanks. BTW, won’t let me ⭐️ like… WP glitch I assume. 😔
