Premium Member The Slender Tail
The long, green tail twitching on the kitchen floor
Fills me with disgust, so I throw it outside.
I'm aware that my obligate carnivore
Has a secret that she disdains to confide.

The cat grabbed the lizard while crouched in the shade.
She enjoyed a meal of reptilian feast,
Yet she...

Slender Birch
Steel Gray skies with threatening rain and restless wind
My breath gathers as mist on the inside of the window pane
...as I watched for the school bus

A slender birch tree with spiral scars 
of flayed bark against its white skin
like curlicues of sharpened pencil shavings

Still clutching...

Slender Memories stay with me of the night that you left
Slender Memories stay with me of a night i cant forget
Slender Memories stay with me when I try to think of why
Slender Memories stay with me of when i fell deep into your eyes

A Former Slender Man Deplores Weight Gain
I loathe shucking clothes,
(no matter eyes severely myopic)
in preparation for here goes
another warm shower quickly
relaxing this senescent
body ready to doze

soon after lathering
this blubbery body
most unwanted fat grows
on me, no matter healthy diet
of worms, or how I stand,
not so easy add a pose

zing losing battle –...

Premium Member A Slender Thread
There is a sense of one's own mortality,
in this brittle light of a cold winter's day.
There is a brave conspiracy,
That exclaims to be gay.

In this brittle light of a cold winter's day,
be not deceived by any brilliant leaf of red,
exclaiming to be gay.
For life swings...

The Slender Man
far in the forests
deep down in the undergrowth
easier to find 
in hindsight of open minds 
there appears the slender man

he has not a face
and is often found walking
stalking silently
he makes himself known through fear
though hidden within the trees

strangely tall he is
his arms abnormally long
some say...

Slender Man's Wedding Gift
11/26/12
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Deep in Slender Man's void of existence,
Long fingers open an old-fashioned, gothic box
She watches excitedly for his reaction

A mini puppet show plays within,
Featuring little children—
Little, creepy dead children

Strange, carnival-type music plays off tune
As the pale children dance in a circle with glee
In the midst of...

The Slender Loris
The slender loris loves the night
In Indian forests where
It shuns the light
And gingerly places each thin
And lanky little limb
On branches that bear
Gifts of food, especially insects
That the feather-weight loris 
Inspects with enormous eyes 
Wide with continual surprise 
At nature’s amazing features,
Including that most mysterious
Of creatures,...

Premium Member Your Slender Frame
Vegetation verdant midst vapor-laden valley
  Misty cloud-mountains mask mansions' mirage
Time trembles, delicate, teasing tender tree-shoots
  Feathered flyers beat fast, beat furious, beat breathless  

Oceans ooze overhead, omnipotent orchestration, oh so
  Sonorous, solemn spectacle suggesting celebrations
Both beatific and bemused, beckoning bewitching

Premium Member Slender a Svelte Sexy Sassy Cow
Slender was a svelte sexy, sensuous, sassy, scintillating cow.
Two bulls living in her new pasture both yelled out “Wow!”
She did not give them the time of day, she had a royalty air.
She only ate people food and sat on a favorite plush chair.

Who does she...

Slender Shadow Dreams
Somewhere a slender shadow of a pretty lady 
dreams of death and broken pieces of a dream. 

Somewhere she knows love exist she knows 
he doesn't believe in love. 

He turns to dust before her eyes the dream dies 
while the scent of his cologne...

A Former Slender Man Lapsed Unitarian Anorexic
A former slender man (lapsed Unitarian anorexic)...
deplores adipose tissue gain

No Holiday music can soothe savage beast
washboard abdomen weight watcher's dream fleeced
skinny bag of lovely bones permanently leased
body snatcher somewhere amidst policed

madding crowd of carolers singing,
where mine sinking spirits ceased
rising today December 18th, 2020
analogous how unleavened...

Slender Kindred Glance
Slender Kindred Glance

sun drenched, a field of 
reflective grasses,
abosrbing the infernal rays 
of that hot orb, swaying 
in the breeze as they might,
their motion inspirits 
my head and torso to sway 
slowly in tandem, 
in parallel time like 
a lazy march, as the
rhythmic swirls 
of...
