LET'S CELEBRATE DESPITE THE WEIGHT
Oh, what the hell!
It's natural!
Let's celebrate
despite the weight
that's descended
and expanded
the hips and ass
of this 'hour glass'
of a figure.
Some may snigger
but it it is my
lived-in body.
I'm what I am;
don't give a damn!
It's natural!

Author's Note
I was heartened by the picture accompanying a reflective FB meme,'Your Body Is Not a Work of Art' by Glennon Doyle of Momastery Art. Conveying what the pictured woman feels in her skin. I also allude in my poem to a joking comment I heard from a woman that "I have an hour-glass figure - all the sand has run to the bottom!", similar to the woman in the painting.
