Bodacious Batter

Me

By Jody SchwanPublished 5 years ago 2 min read

Oh my body

My best body

Oh my body is a work of art

All my pieces

All my creases

My uniqueness dances off the chart

Here’s my heart now

My best heart now

I just know that it is made of seeds

It feels greenish

Keep it cleanish

Mark the tempo and toss out all weeds

Here’s my forehead

My best forehead

Colored yellow as the sky is blue

Like a daisy

Make me crazy

Shoots out petals when I say a-choo

Here’s my bosom

My best bosom

It’s just bursting with all shades of red

Cherry rose jam

Berry blush ma’am

If you saw it you just might drop dead

Here’s my shoulder

My best shoulder

It’s a rock that holds it all in place

Purple tie dye

It’s my ally

And I love that it is near my face

Here’s my belly

My best belly

Golden Buddha flowing from my skirt

Take it with me

Brings me great glee

And I’m told it can be quite the flirt

Here’s my elbow

My best elbow

It turns bluer when I’m feeling ‘good’

Like a mood ring

It’s a sure thing

Tells my lover ‘honey yes you should’

Here’s my bottom

My best bottom

It’s the very perfect seat for me

Orange and plumpy

Is my rumpy

If you saw it, it would set you free

Here’s my muscles

My best muscles

They are brown and dripping with great strength

It’s amazing

How they’re blazing

Operating on my own wavelength

Here’s my big toe

My best big toe

Always seems to know which way to turn

Often looks pink

When I hard drink

All those piggies never seem to learn

Here’s my colors

My best colors

There’s not one that should be first to you

They’re all brilliant

So resilient

All infused to be our cosmic goo

Now the whole thing

Shiny bright bling

Is the batter that becomes the queen

Like a rainbow

Screaming hello

I’m the superhero dance machine

Now this fab tale

That has set sail

Body image ranging red to blue

How I see me

Brings me great glee

May your colors sing out loud to you
