Angst and Spanx

A little humor from getting dressed this morning ~

Silky and smooth fabric

Sliding over freshly

Shaved flesh

Easily sliding up

Up over calves and thighs

Then

Curvy hips squeezing

Tight and pinching elastic

Plastic restriction

Can't breathe

The contradiction

Angst and Spanx

Reviews

[Gee]

Nothing more sexy than big knickers with gravity pulled b***s tucked into their top. I think you ladies have a harder time with the ageing process than us men, well, men of a certain age. Saying that I watch the generation below me posturing, preening, having all kinds of procedures. They should be out hunting and gathering not botoxing their chests and lips.....THE WORLD IS GOING MADDDDDDDDDD

[Jennesis]

Ha! Truth. Madness is right!

Gotta love the trials and tribulations of woman hood...love this piece. I hope to have more time to read more of your work :)

[Jennesis]

Thank you so much Jamie! I appreciate you stopping by. Likewise. It's hard to get around to reading all that I want to!

[Lizzie Mitchell]

I love this. I was at first skeptical reading this but then I loved the twist it took.

[Jennesis]

Thanks Lizzie! I appreciate it~

[Chris]

This one brought the mandatory chuckle of appreciation... read aloud well and with a sparkle.

[Jennesis]

Thank you Chris! Glad it made you chuckle, I myself was laughing as I wrote it. ;)

[Kelly Scheppers]

Oh, the pain we endure to look fabulous!! Nice contrast between the two!

[Jennesis]

For sure! Thanks Kelly!

A little spandex goes a l-o-o-o-o-o-o-n-g way -
Nice alliteration here Jennesis - angst is the stuff you wear ...right? or is that the spanx...lol

Very clever poem - inspiration is everywhere.
Your brain isnt constricted I see.

[Jennesis]

😊 thanks ANTO. you make me laugh. One time I got stuck in some Spanx and freaked out. It was a sight.

LOL - I could just imagine a phone call to 911 ' "Hello." - how can I help you ma'am - "I stuck" - where are you ma'am? - "I think Im stuck somewhere between the right leg and the gusset - help!" - which zip code is that ma'am...?

this is good for a smile...what makes us look good sometimes, makes us feel so restricted...we can't wait to look like ourselves again..
oh the metaphor within this poem.

[Jennesis]

Yes, i was cracking myself up today, restriction and beauty, it's a tough choice! ;-)
