Comfort

It's one of life's joys to inject humour.
Well said, and very well written too.

A very fun piece Milly and I miss your humor very much! I actually laughed aloud to this...maybe because I can relate to the temptation and of course you have written it so well, it's like I can see all the food in front of me! I think I am going to have a blast as well. Really enjoyed reading.

Nominated.

The title is perfect because it goes with the poem well, and for my money there could not have been a more perfect title. the reason I nominated this is because I can connect to this well. The message of the poem to me is about finding comfort in food that is unhealthy, but is delicious to ones taste buds. I love how you wrote the story though because you almost see a downward spiral for this person ( not really in a bad way though). You have hope and determination in the first line in the first stanza but after that, you start to realize that this person finds being on a diet very difficult, so they give into their cravings and comfort and eat what they wish to. I think going deeper into the meaning of the poem, this person finds change difficult (and this thought is why I connect to it so much). Even being pushed out of your comfort zone is scary.

There are a lot of points where I stumbled reading the poem, because I personally feel there are too many commas with the poem itself, and I always like to see a poem be more free flowing, especially when it is a longer poem. I am going to point out where I think there doesn't need to be a comma.

First stanza first and third lines, would read better without the commas, because I don't think you need the start and stops there.

Third stanza I don't think you need any of the commas there.

Fourth stanza first line- I don't think you need the last comma, but the first two commas can stay because you are breaking up different words. Third line I don't think you need the comma.

There are no other glaring issues here imo. This is a well written poem.
