Cute

Don't call me cute.

Cute is for

bunnies

and pussycats,

babies

and dandelions.

I am not a

baby.

I am not a

pussycat.

I am not even a

little girl.

I am a

Young Woman.

Just because

I'm small--

5ft, 110 lbs--

doesn't mean I'm

cute.

I am

Elegant.

I am

Beautiful.

And most of all,

I am

Smart.

Don't call me cute.

If you do it one more time

A head will roll

And it won't be mine!

Great poem. Comments like that can be rather annoying can't they?

[William Gardner]

Lol, that was fun! Great last line, you should make that the about the author.

I hate it as well when people call me cute, it's like you say bunnies, babies, or small kids are cute. Once you become a young lady/woman people should stop calling you that, instead they should say pretty or beautiful. I love the way you ended it with that twist very unexpected. Thank you for sharing

I hate it when people call me cute, it makes me think they don't think I'm anything more than a little cute, gets on my nerves.
Elegantly penned,
Well played!

oooh damn girl! But that's how I feel when someone says "Aw you're so cute" I just feel like flipping things and going completely ape.
Well done for standing up for yourself and other "young women" who've fallen victim of the cuteness!

Love this! This poem is just everything. I can relate to this so much!

[viola]

I'm glad you can relate. I was hoping to write a poem that young woman could relate to and made others a little more aware!

[Shadowkai]

Thanks very much! I wondered if that line worked. It's funny, but does it fit with the rest of the poem? Did it make you laugh in a good way or because it was so out of place?
Thanks for your review!
