Title Wave

He kept "hanging around"
Hoping for a glimpse down her top
Since he can remember he's been "obsessed with flat"
Perhaps one day it would be "engraved upon his stone"
No beer or big boobs for this poor stiff!

He was afraid his excitement might show
"Ripping" through his zipper
Revealing his "optomistic white" underwear
Yet part of him imagined it "Escaping Gravity",
Would she  look at it and ask "Penny for your thoughts?"
Would there be a "Before and beyond the bed"?
For now he would be happy with just one glimpse
His friends all thought him a bit weird
In the end he'd rather be under her
Than "Under the weight of words"!

For fun I took the titles of my last 9 poems and tried to tell a story.

Is there anything you can't accomplish with your pen? Any place your originality and creativity won't take you? I don't think so.

Ahh, my teenage years. Nervousness and premature ejaculation. I really liked growing up when I did as all the girls had to wear skirts or dresses to school, everyday. I loved the no beer or big boobs line. My ex is really well endowed. We joked that she would have to be buried at the "Garden of Mammaries". Thanks, Richard

Left me laughing. What a creative exercise, and fairly difficult too since it requires integrating specific phrases rather than just words.

Not upside down. Like two TV tubes. From where he sat. Pulled down slow below. Why would someone sit and stare? Maybe me with the mumps. But a bra that is many-tiered. Write one more poem while under the gun. Now you figure out what applies to what. Jim Horn

Oh WOW! That's some write, Richard. I wonder what made you want to do that. Very creative. :) Obsessed with flat, eh? I thought it was the opposite with men! ;) Hugs
Lamoureux Avatar

In reality flat would not quite cut it, but I must admit I am attracted to small and perky. It is a good thing we all have different preferences. Hugs back to you Eileen.;0)
