Long Shrinkage Poems

I'm sorry momma.
I'm sorry father.
I couldn't be the man you raised.
You instilled me with morals and values,
from which I chose to stray.
I chose to leave those college days,
just to be on the streets stuck in...

In the realm of creation, where forces collide,
There is a phenomenon that cannot hide.

Size Matters
By Jan Beaumont ©

Sam Ebenezer
a sad ol' geezer
was lamenting his shrinkage of late:
my worthless ding-a-ling
is a bell without ring
my manhood in diminishing state
 
From whence I salute
is thin as a flute
and soft to the touch as cashmere
I search...

A shrouded sinister sparkle said hello to a dish cloth today. But the array of plates, pans and cutlery shouted in protest for they required much manual...

You’re caught up in notions schooled to faded brains, No flames to ignite the linkage,
In the age of unaware programed suicide,...

Flying dove-like in the midst of a sea of blueness
Bringing a warm sensory of quiet and peacefulness
A delicate quill floats and moves with the mild breeze
Each butterfly represents a profound gift of gentle ease.

At the shrinkage of the page
Expressions plead for length
Inhibition imposed on lines by columns
Words already accustom to scarcity
Pieces find focus in incompletion.

Standard oblong shaped holes
The only effort needed being 
To manipulate the controls.
We dug our graves by hand
And the sweat of our brow
A craft that seems outdated
And no longer any use now.

Each grave...

Ripples from a rain fill a bowl of passion.
Small ducks quacking in a waddled fashion.
A light breeze blew across the soft fur.
The brown beach beckons for one to occur.
Making stained-glass-like hand gesture.
As a stepping stone...

There’s a global inflation problem
everywhere lungs are puffed up
heads are swollen.

Balloons increase in volume overnight.
The cost of rubber bands
has been stretched to its limits.

We recall sadly the heady days of deflation,

Write Big or Go Home

I’ve seen some swollen poems, that come in dragging on the floor
Written by the brave, till someone knocks upon their door

Each time that we back down, more trolls will come and...

The King was a lion as most of them will
His lioness queen beside him knew the drill

But like the rest there were two to be found

Two lines of two...

Oak trees from tiny acorns grow.
I know that this is true,
It did not happen to me,
Has it happened to you?
I was a tiny baby,
That grew into a little girl
I always thought that maybe
I would be...

like pulling teeth
i can't wait to get this thing removed
thought it was an ingrown hair
but apparently the pain shows me where it really hurts

phone too expensive
undeliverable mail
line of communication down

Hydration, urination, frustration
I’m being Pampered with Depends
The means justifies the ends
For with my bladder shrinkage
There comes a bit of leakage
It’s so simple I just do it do it
I can’t remember where I threw it
But to...
