Premium Member A Scanty Bit of Fluff

She is a scanty bit of fluff he said.
There she was. My eyes fell out of my head.
She wasn’t horrible.
More like adorable!
Wearing a satin sheet from someone’s bed….

At the Gym

I do not check myself out
in full-length mirrors 

at the gym. 
It's because of Them.

I seldom see a guy pass by
the chance of a glance, 

not even askance, but 
active admire in scanty attire,

tank top and shorts, 
a photo op.

Existence

FLOWER MY LIFE 
BLOOMETH FOR SCANTY 
BEARETH THY CHARM 
TURNEST TO REALITY.

MATERIAL THEE WORLD 
MATERIAL THY MATES 
IMMORTAL EXISTENCE 
YET NONE WHO VALIDATES .

DUST I'D TURN TO 
DUST I'D BE 
DUST I'VE COME FROM 
SO MY EXISTENCE SHALL BE .

Premium Member Scandalous

.
 
   There went she
       blue eyes
 sashaying with her
       sassy self
    in her scanty
         sateen
         sheath

      Scandalous
the scandalmongors
         scoffed
           as I

  And off I scurried
 searching for paper
         and pen
to scribe mine script
  of her succulence

         Skoal

    I’d take a sip

Fallacies of Arrogance

A second of four
a child-to-man maronic
ignored and scanty poor
told only his idle logic

This family career
he could not sanction
then in his yesteryear
so bad became his action

Perfect One just had to quit
Three went underground
Four copped many a clout
Two was never held to account

In later years still stood his stance
for fear and fallacies of arrogance

ZZ Snore, Snore, ZZ Written: by Tom 9-6-2019 Night’s sleep was scanty, today I’m logy and slow. Forgetting pharmaceuticals, caused tossing to and fro. Today my song, won’t be a mellifluous sound. But I’ll be pedantic, until my sleep clocks rewound. I’m apt to be loquacious, during sleep once again. While a good power nap, might mollify my pain.

The Recompense of War

The streets are empty
the birds stop singing
the children are not playing
the people look wan and scanty

the brooks are dry and frusty
the water taste blood and fretting
the air smells dreading
the seeds of terror grows plenty

war has unleashed her good
her gifts are hunger,poverty and disease
devastation and dead as it stood

no telling when the sun will rise again
when this is over there is a course to ask 
who win, who again

Premium Member Loving You

A lone cantata pierced through the hollow night as hungry clouds nibbled at the frozen Moon, Her smile obscured but for a slight, scanty sight as a solo aria pierced the lagoon. Amid the languid yet luminous half-light came the chilling chorus of the Arctic loon. Love lives here, and lingers warm in half moonlight, budding with romantic, symphonious swoon. I watch as you watch the performance enwreathe, loving you fervently with each breath I breathe.
