Best Slimmest Poems

I, a performer, walk in God, the multi-blended rope,
Will never falter or fall; for in him is my whole hope; 
I am confident that my good works will bring greatest end,
To take me home after this life, his angel God will send...! 

He protects me...

She Hasn't Killed me yet
                           58.

       There are dangers all around us

I was really down on my luck,
looked in the mirror - about to chuck,
things seemed at their dimmest,
good luck - at its slimmest...
Sometimes, just gotta say "What the _____!"...

Every sport man’s first ID card,
On him imposing, a period to be on guard;
When the slimmest interest shows in financial gain,
And inglorious quitting is the pain!
Not that affluence one does detest:
Mounting pressures from the east and the west,
One’s body and teeth sometimes rattling
While with an...

(Dedicated to Carlos Bousono)

Without digressions and steadily 
You grew old like a river reaching the sea. 

As one who reaches the sea and the sand, 
you let go off the safety of the land. 

You fought the storms battling with age. 
Your spirit overcame. You...

[Note: You will see in the work below connections to other poems I have posted here.  Those poems are tangents to this poem that more completely tell the tale of rise, pride, hubris, fall, and reckoning. -- DT]

Wire me up!
Run that current through my...

In early April the bus from Lecce
				unloads us at the fabled fish market.
				The place is shuttered down, not even
				the scent of chowders past lingering
				in the air. The only hint of June’s
				full fare is one slight stall where we
				might taste the slimmest feast from the sea.

Send the kids to school to be shot
Or church to become a sex pot
With COVID-19
Becoming a teen
May be the slimmest chance they've got!  

n.b.   Texans believe life is only sacred
until the breath of life is inhaled
after which everyone is fair game! ...

FAMILY    TREE

A  storm  was threatening all week
The tree was a warning to see
The wind rocked our tree’s roots weak .
Not our best,   but son’s  favourite tree.

We’d  had a fall-out  about his girlfriend.
Not speaking,  we...

Belle in Blue and Pink

Blue and pink a combo cool
On this girl simply graceful
Looks like an angel from heaven
Beside her brother A1
Intensely lucky is this Sun-deep
Blessed with lady-luck in heap
Prosperity is his origin I guess
Brevity being his style ace
What a way to pose for
He deserves...

A passerine bird,
One of the smallest of sizes,
With a beak almost minute.
On its beak you can count many;
the tiniest to biggest,
the slimmest to the fattest,
the lightest to the heaviest,
the ugliest to the finest,
the sourest to the sweetest,
the slowest to the swiftest.
All on this paltry beak,
it...

Ink


with acuate nib
you trace my skin,
inscribing the slimmest contours
next to your old scars

what is this book you write
in blood and darkness
what shadows your mind
and guides your pen to slaughter

that you want to see me
unhinged, demented,
vanished into your words,
irrecoverable

do you crave the death
you cannot have
so much...

Prolific pic perfect in rose pink
Made me gaze at it without blink
Sunglasses dark big and round
Fancy ear tops flaunt too abound
Lavish smile adds an icing
To already divine cake amazing
Radiance oozing in floods straight	
Well, may I know the secret
Cascadic hair being darkest
Compete with delightful hue rest
Are...

Survival in life’s precious pathway

When I did peep my eager eyes majestically open, my parents were overwhelmed with awesome love and the attention was immense. I have the slimmest chance of survival, lamentable, their given charity, for I have been given a battling boot, a...

A touch of the book 
Ignites the golden flame 
If you know where to look 
Things will never be the same 

Words dream 
Words stream 

Flickering light 
Flickering pages turn 
Cover of night 
New things to learn 

Words dream 
Words stream 

If you know where...
