Slender Poems

Filched formerly anatomical slender man me! Thus I take a pot belly stance!

Filched formerly anatomical slender man - me! Thus I take a pot belly stance!

Absolute zero escape
velocity gutted dance
sing days (contra and square),
cuz metabolic full abundance
abdominal adipose tissue acceptance
not in accordance
with light as a feather
physique I sorely miss lost acquaintance
the boy within forced admittance
as sure man tanks of fat did advance
shotgun marriage demanded allegiance
to pledge lifetime

Premium MemberThe Slender Tail

The long, green tail twitching on the kitchen floor
Fills me with disgust, so I throw it outside.
I'm aware that my obligate carnivore
Has a secret that she disdains to confide.

The cat grabbed the lizard while crouched in the shade.
She enjoyed a meal of reptilian feast,
Yet she kept the tail, brought in to be displayed.
My sweet, cuddly

Premium MemberSlender a Svelte Sexy Sassy Cow

Slender was a svelte sexy, sensuous, sassy, scintillating cow.
Two bulls living in her new pasture both yelled out “Wow!”
She did not give them the time of day, she had a royalty air.
She only ate people food and sat on a favorite plush chair.

Who does she think she is? The other cows groused in a line.
Maybe

When a Man Looks Tender

When a man looks much tender,
What happens to his Gender?
I mean guys who seem slender
And prove The Easy Blender
None of An Iron Bender,
Who would restructure fender
And to graves with punch sender…

Man not A Panel Beater,
In no way like A Heater?
Do we him name ‘Woman’
Like The Eve summoned from Man?

Are looks A Gender Lender:
One being tender

Premium MemberAutumn's Slender-

so is autumns dawn
crossing over horizon
deep in it's path dull 
~
lit lights orange bright
dispensing shadows of hues
horizontal views
~
falls autumns trees waves
in the autumn breeze so blown
colors view orange 
~
hues completely  drained
containment of yellows, reds
browns, aqua shades

A Former Slender Man Lapsed Unitarian Anorexic

A former slender man (lapsed Unitarian anorexic)...
deplores adipose tissue gain

No Holiday music can soothe savage beast
washboard abdomen weight watcher's dream fleeced
skinny bag of lovely bones permanently leased
body snatcher somewhere amidst policed

madding crowd of carolers singing,
where mine sinking spirits ceased
rising today December 18th, 2020
analogous how unleavened bread
(i.e. matzo) lacks yeast.

I loathe shucking clothes,
(no matter eyes severely

Slender Kindred Glance

Slender Kindred Glance

sun drenched, a field of 
reflective grasses,
abosrbing the infernal rays 
of that hot orb, swaying 
in the breeze as they might,
their motion inspirits 
my head and torso to sway 
slowly in tandem, 
in parallel time like 
a lazy march, as the
rhythmic swirls 
of dried seed heads 
atop floral stalks, brush,
against one another, 
crashing….

Premium MemberYour Slender Frame

Vegetation verdant midst vapor-laden valley
  Misty cloud-mountains mask mansions' mirage
Time trembles, delicate, teasing tender tree-shoots
  Feathered flyers beat fast, beat furious, beat breathless  

Oceans ooze overhead, omnipotent orchestration, oh so
  Sonorous, solemn spectacle suggesting celebrations
Both beatific and bemused, beckoning bewitching
  Doe-eyed denizens of languid, listless deltas ---
  
When my

A Former Slender Man Deplores Weight Gain

I loathe shucking clothes,
(no matter eyes severely myopic)
in preparation for here goes
another warm shower quickly
relaxing this senescent
body ready to doze

soon after lathering
this blubbery body
most unwanted fat grows
on me, no matter healthy diet
of worms, or how I stand,
not so easy add a pose

Premium MemberSlender Man

Sitting in this broken down bar,
Nothing but a taste of a wannabe star;
Sad and broken;
Pitiful with a painted smile;
Never knowing that the show is over; 
No one is watching,
No one is left to climb your mountain high.

Their souls were taken years ago;
While you were still hanging balloons in the yard,
while you had a bicycle and

Slender Man's Wedding Gift

11/26/12
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Deep in Slender Man's void of existence,
Long fingers open an old-fashioned, gothic box
She watches excitedly for his reaction

A mini puppet show plays within,
Featuring little children—
Little, creepy dead children

Strange, carnival-type music plays off tune
As the pale children dance in a circle with glee
In the midst of the dancing there stands a tall figure without a face
And
