Short Pencil Thin Poems

Pencil thin Lenny from old Liechtenstein,
    Built a long skinny house near the Rhine,
               It was all that he need
                  Provided his feed
  Doesn't include cakes and desserts all the time....

I woke up this morning
Sporting a Beret 
Speaking in a French accent
Parlez-vous francais?

With a scarf around my neck
A pencil thin moustache
Afraid I might have woke up French
A slight giggle to my laugh

With a strong urge for fresh Baguette's
I head to the grocery 
I told my cat that I'd be back
He looked at me... Cest la vie...

The panelled walls of cedar wood, pencil thin red aroma
Reflect the firelight burning light, warming coals
Black windowpanes bar the cold and wind to a blacker outside.
Pictures in the flames rise, to an occasion or a dream
But in retrospect so strange, as the chimney above grows cool
And snowflakes melt on the black dusty dead scraps of wood....

Before I became a bag of potatoes
I used to be as pencil thin as any salty chip.
I had a pencil thin mustache,
pencil thin legs,
pencil thin neck,
in fact all my appendages
were said to be pencil thin.
You might suppose that my pencil is thin,
but no,
it is actually a fountain pen
and it is as fat as a potato
I carry it behind one of my cauliflower ears....

 The Stiletto Life

Her Infectious smile and rhythmic click-clack on the pavement,
Mask the pain from her eight-inch, pencil-thin Louboutin heels;
Flying, neat, long dreadlocks, trail her incredibly steady strides,
As, gracefully, she sashays past, turning heads and dropping jaws;
Her white dress, a slightly revealing flutter in the breezy drizzle!
