Best Elastic Poems

I feel a searing chill in my bones
as they painfully turn to black ice
Under the weight of my loneliness
I fear there's an ultimate price

Will I witness my own demise
As cracks appear under this weight
The thought of an endless sadness
as I am doomed to a horrible...

Elastic stretches bit by bit, around your thick dimension

Lets  you wiggle,  if you're pudgy, from too much fudge retention

A second portion...now, you're ecstatic....Alas, you've licked the kettle!

Should I tattle or meddle much,  or call for intervention?

Thus, your middle may need attention, is...

In this wonky day and time,
this favored temperate clime
dares suggest wisdom's course
espouse prevalent societal force.*

Family tree boundaries,
stretched by current modes
like an old elastic band,
accept new branches
hung precariously 
on the old sturdy trunk.

Old Limbs are newly bushed
with leaves bearing prefixes
with measuring sounds;
third, adopted, step, half -

Mum..Why did you give me lego hair.?
To upstage my Alan Carr teeth
And stretch that grey nylon pinefore
Tight
To ridicule my chubby young knees
 
And why dear mummy
Was my elastic bands so tight
As they struggled around my chubs
Was Battleship grey 
The fashion
Of socks those days..
Dear mummy

Me thinks...

Morning is elastic
A child's umbilical cord
Mooring yet stretching beyond
The raft's edges
A boomerang
Among exploding galaxies
Returns as
Wynken, Blinken and Nod's
Starry revelation...

there lives an aunt
elastic eyes she has
ears stretch as rubber
mouth as sharp as thorn
hands muddy as clay

every affair niece enters
her elastic eyes picks
the rubber ears swallow
sharp mouth pierces
by day and by night

a doodle of muddy niece
 trolls every household
mud on front  of niece
soil on...

Elastic dreams, 
Gathering in my mind 
Like full, inevitable clouds
Raining down my cheeks with such promise 
Then settling down until the next day 
When the water rises again. 

Elastic love,
So smart on my lips
Tingling with excitement 
Pulling me to a wild grin 
Then snapping back...

Politicians when attacked tend to deny everything
That way there's always a little doubt as the arrows sling
A political tactic
Words are elastic
Stretch them here, stretch them there, and the birdies do sing...

Thank God for Elastic
As my waist is expanding 
At a rate of knot's 
That the Jelly Tots 
I am continually stuffing
Into my face
Cannot keep pace
With the clothes Ive discovered 
That live in my cupboard 
No longer fit
My large posterior 
But with the help of elastic
They...

The shock of betrayal
leaves you bewildered;
and angry with the whole world.
But forgiveness is a part of love,
a truth gleaned from experience.
Love is elastic;
it stretches to encompass friends and family
yet leaves plenty of room for self.
The choices we make in life are ours,
but the lessons learned...

An elastic band
Held between two fingers.
His index, and mine.
He takes a few steps backwards,
Gently stretching the fragile ring between us,
Testing its strength from either direction.
Two forces, working together
And against each other, at the same time.

The action is simple and mindless
It takes no thought. None.
I watch...

Where will we be in
Our ability to fight
Coronavirus
When it goes “mutate”?
We don’t have a vaccine now…
Many are dying!

Relaxing rules should
Not be done now…elastic
Bands hurt on rebounds.

Do you remember this?
Suspenders for a teenage miss,
Real boa constrictors,
Our  hip inhibitors, 
Teen boy deterrents,
That's what they meant,
Elastic girdles vanished too,
I remember suspenders, do you?...

Someone asked "If you were god what would you do differently?"

I knew instantly what I'd do.

I'd make people stretchier so they could be short or tall as the mood strikes. Women could pull their vag*nas up over their heads when it rains, and guys could...
