Svelte Poems

Rainy Day Dreams

How sweet’s the lovely scent and sound of rain
As I look out amidst the sultry storm
From bursting clouds upon the window pane, 
I feel the chills on my svelte body's form. 
The thrill of thunder claps and lightning...Read More

The rose can't brave the strength of agile time,
Which thwarts her pride and takes away her grace;
She harbours hope to rise in a new clime.

The rose had scoffed at that yonder wild thyme,
For it was not endowed with a svelte...Read More

Image in a Mirror

She sits all alone in her bedroom tonight,
and stares in the mirror while dreaming her dreams;
she thinks to herself in the soft evening light,
and wonders why she has no friends so it seems.

Perhaps it’s because of her...Read More

What if I never learned to put words to paper 
or if my mind never taught itself to unwrap a fantasy 
What if math was the only textbook on earth 
and calligraphy never existed, nor rhyming words 
What if I...Read More

           SOUTH PARK HOLIDAY DIET



There once was a boy, named Eric Cartman.
A roly-poly little brat, sorely in need of a diet!
His friend Kenny had the just the answer:
"Just date a...Read More

There was once a fat Santa Claus felt

That his Mrs Claus wanted him svelte

But the wiggle and jelly

That so jiggled his belly

Was the thing made her icicles melt.

Twas the night before Christmas - came like a flash,
Mob of gingerbread reindeer prodding elves for cache.

The Clausman reigning, doling out orders this stint.
Lady of his, keeps his tongue supplied with peppermints.

The vainglorious list of children, like snow through the...Read More

Svelte Sylvia loved acrobatics
She did it in gyms and in attics
She did a pole vault
And a triple somersault
She is known as a fitness fanatic

I am holding things out farther so I can read them
Until I realize they are still fuzzy
So I get 1.5 reading glasses
After a bit I am happier with 3.0 reading glasses
I used to exercise a lot.
I was svelte and happy
But...Read More

Several sirens singing on the shore
Called Calypso’s crew for them to adore.
Willing witless wanderers;
Oblivious obeyers, 
Which waves washed through a rocky tidal bore.

Svelte sisters sieved the sailor’s gore
That the salty surging sea cast ashore.
Boiling briny blunderers
With olive oil and oysters
And...Read More

I had a wonderful dream,
last night,

I was not me,
I was svelte,

Refused a piece of cake,
ate all my vegetables,

Was an expert in karate,
earned my black belt,

My hair was long,
lustrous waves of gold,

I kicked my mental demons,
Into oblivion,

They flew thru,
the magnetic meridian,

I...Read More

the streets took hold like death to you fair queen
your crown a rag wrapped round thy weary head
I came to volunteer not to be seen 
no accolades no ego to be fed
a heartfelt cry as I called out your name
to...Read More

effete
    yet
      resplendent
effervescent
        svelte

never -the- less

     Icicles

     Long icicles hang, one by one;
     thick icicles shine in the sun.
     As icicles melt
     to icicles, svelte,

A Long Limerick Planned for Poems

This is my 6,466th poem. Shooting for 6.666
for some strange reason and time and season
and only teasing.

It sure seems much easier to put
all of my poems into one poem.

Put God and Priest First

Please put God...Read More

Sizzling Surprises 

I’m ruminating here on this promenade of sizzling surprises.
I’m sitting here, watching the living denizens walk on by.
None of these sentient beings ever look at me, 
Never see or acknowledge me, not for one second,
Never say even one...Read More

I went to the vet today,
Most eager to hear what he’d say,
‘Threw me out on my ear,
With words most sincere,
“That horse is too fat, no more hay”.

I pondered his words for a while,
Not sure I could do this in style,
Made...Read More

Cinnabar sentinels stand swaying in the mist of morning
through whispered hush and gentle breeze, like jewels , the leaves adorning.

Cool the streams in cresting waves float laurel barques of prizm hues,
washed past bulrush and fading ferns, through the bows of...Read More

Her swift and wondrous gait   enthralls
upon  the light  of lightest evening--
bedecked  in turquoise- gold  finery
sewn by earth’s intricate handiwork...
a mature nymph hovers along the pond
to  relish  delicacy of ornate leaves:
How  a...Read More

Hold your fire
Let your sharp tongue retire
When to the fore sneaks your ire

Increasing carelessness danger
Thinking in your mind you’re an indomitable ranger
Although in your own skin you turn into a total stranger

Body somehow cut off from your mind
With a baggage...Read More

Lightning and thunder did clash
In ventricles within my heart
Vying whether to lash
At every part

That feels emotions
In hearts of dames
Whose love motions and portions
Laid claims

To the indifference my heart felt
When Hazel Fidelia ended our engagement
In July nineteen seventy seven to melt
The...Read More

Yes, she was svelte, she was gorgeous, this gal of mine was 21, and had my heart jumping.
Her photo was of a beautiful waif, with a head of red hair that had my heart pumping.
We had talked a lot about...Read More
