What would I do

I often think, 
what would I do
if I didn't have you.

you feel lovely around my waist,
sometimes I forget about you in haste.
I know you might feel misplaced,
but you're special to be replaced.

agree, you hold me up better,
no doubt, you're a trendsetter.
you look great in leather,
my love for you has no measure.

can't get enough of you in any shape,
you feel fantastic when I tighten you like a tape.
don't let me miss you to drape,
I won't let this comfort escape.

many ask me,
why are your pants hanging loose?
I just say, please excuse,
I am looking for my pant belt,
It's an agony heartfelt.

without you,
others can sneak a view.
what would I do
if I didn't have you.

Abhilash,

Sitting here outside on a sunny Sun-Day morning, sipping coffee, gathering my wits that I do hope gemerate sane (rather than senile) thoughts, I found myself taken delightfully prisoner by the hilairity, ingeniousness, and intelligence based wonders of your most blissed and gifted imagination scrawled by artfully flowing pen to reader's page. A true treasure to read and savor

Thank you Marvin for the kind review. I am glad you enjoyed reading it.

This is so clever and unexpectedly charming! You took something as ordinary as a belt and turned it into a dramatic, poetic love story, and to be honest, it works! The humor is subtle and smart, and the rhymes feel smooth and natural. I especially love the twist at the end... it brings the whole poem together in such a fun, relatable way. It’s light, creative, and has real personality. Honestly, it made me smile and I think that's the win for any poem, isn't it?
Loved it! Truly!

[A.H.]

Your poem is just having fun with how something simple, like a belt, can be really important in our everyday lives! I really like this poem! It made me laugh because I sometimes forget my belt too, and my pants fall down! I agree, belts are super important. I think it's cool how you made a poem about something so small but special, Abhi! :)

[A.H.]

That's such a sweet review. And, yeah pants can fall down, if you don't take care of your belt. haha!

And, I'm glad to hear this poem made you laugh. That was the intention - to keep it light hearted and fun :) Thanks for reading and sharing those thoughts, Martiya.

Great use of rhyme and humor.

Thank you Thomas for the review.

[Samuel Dickens]

Suspenders? Ha-ha! Believe me--no one would like to see my pants fall down. Of all things we might love, a simple belt mustn't be overlooked. Thanks for the laugh, my friend.

[A.H.]

Haha! good idea, Suspenders. You're so right a simple belt mustn't be overlooked, its utility is very important. And, this is my tribute to it :) Thanks for reading, Samuel.

[Relic]

The first time I ever read a poem about a belt. lol
This is clever and funny. I haven't worn a belt in years being I've gained a little weight. I'm planning on losing weight so I may need to buy one in the future.
How can I do that now without laughing after reading this. haha

Good one. :)

[A.H.]

I'm glad this one made you laugh and you liked it ! Thank you for the review, Relic.

Wow that took a turn but I'm down for the ride. Well done 👍

[A.H.]

I hope you enjoyed the ride, LVM :) Thanks so much for reading and sharing your thoughts.

You look great in leather!!! The fact that a real poet can find romantic words from ANYTHING makes me think that words of love are just word acrobatics. I will be angry to the writer for a while:D

But loved it

[A.H.]

Thank you for the kind words on the write. You can be angry but hopefully not for long :) Glad you liked it.
