Best Thick Poems

~
No sun, no moon, no stars above
appear this murky day
The fog so thick, you need a knife
to cut you on your way
Though as I drive within the mist
where I can hardly see
I still take time to make a wish
that you were here with me
For in...

bluesy blurbs 
    of
brumal 
    blackness
      its 
  crawling 
clasps
   of 
silvery 
  gnawing
    below 
      shriveled

How Thick Is Your Skin?
Written: by Tom Wright
3/31/2018

In today’s society it appears to be about skin,
Many whine when things don’t go their way.
Laying at fault, is that our skin is too thin,
We’re easily offended by what others do and say.

Whiners leap to the podium with...

Six simpering thick-skinned shifty spinster sisters stiffly sit
Stitching sticky skid-marked scivvies of sixty sick stingy sailors.
Six sick from stitching scivvies of sixty sick scrimping sailors
Stickle over nickels; those insistent six thick-skinned spinster tailors!

Thick as a brick.

 Misunderstood. 

Alas a teenage daughter 
Got in the family way, 
Such they are the times 
What more can you say. 

It was getting near her time 
But still she wanted out, 
To the pub or just the pictures 
She didn"t mind...

The fog lies like a thick blanket over my city
                         It is gray, damp and heavy to breathe in

One and two makes three, so four and five makes six
This guy's discovered all the mathematical tricks
The professors are all wrong
They really don't belong
Always knew theses guys were thick as a brick

Why do we have a thick voice?
I don’t mean girls, I mean boys
Especially when we talk out loud 
Comes out an unpleasant sound 

It sounds like if it was a roar 
Or a throat that is sore 
It’s like you’re calling for a fight
When you...

What causes fat disappearance?
Diets that take perserverance
But wallet's less thin
Love those clothes from a bin
At stores that sell with a clearance...

What the hell is a limerick... this is a limerick!
Don't understand, is this some kind of a trick?
I'll repeat it slower
Perhaps when you're sober
Sometimes you can be as thick as a brick!

“Thick Skinned – What it Feels Like for a Girl”



When you speak 
it’s as if stars cascade
out of your mouth 
galaxies you produce
musical incantations 
that I listen religiously to 

I watch your lips 
form glistening cupids’ bows

they spread wide open 
like the subtle legs 
of...

Go ahead, ask me what makes me tick
Well, to answer your question really quick
I'm a simple man
No devious plans
Though sometimes I can be as thick as a brick

The darkness subterraneously slowly slides in
As it covers the woeful wounds on the sanguineous skin
Thick comes the night I know it very well
Where mendacious mourners induce their own hell

The tears that fall...and build a wall of silence
With slippery slopes...and abandoned hopes of guidance
For the pouring...

I think it might be John Rawls
who writes about
thick and thin justice sandwiches.

Thick justice
may be more deeply embedded, richly spread
in regenerative pursuing time,
producing and serving healthy wealth relationships,
often digestively motivated
to achieve nutritional communion goals,

While thinner justice
lies closer to today's contemporary bread
of legalistic compliance issues,
what minimally...

Fog
Thick veil
Settles, engulfs, covers
Slowly, totally, wraps 
Condensation...
