Here are some poems which sprang to mind, thinking about body image for 14valentines, two by men, two by women. I'll let them speak for me.

You know, I always loved Fat Bottomed Girls. But you know what makes it even BETTER? BEING COVERED BY AN ALL GIRL BAND. Seriously, this particular cover has been making me SO freaking happy since I found it last week. ♥

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun is my FAVOURITE SONNET EVER. It expresses so solidly what I have often found myself wanting to shout at some of those few men who have liked me in the past, but wanted to do so in an idealised way that meant that, actually, they didn't like me at all. They liked how they wanted me to be. Grrr.

Hence my icon :D
