Poem of the Ample Woman

A poem about the sadness that comes with being once beautiful, now alone and well over-fed.

Poem of the Ample Woman.

Agonic Beauty,
in a Moo Moo Dressed.
There's no miracle
can unburden her chest.

Slippery Fingers
from much chicken Fat.
She sits by the Window with her Tabby Cat.

Watches the Sunrise, waiting for Noon.
The Pies in the Oven
will be ready soon.

To read a finely written poem then laugh out loud at the end of it is like having one's cake and eating it. Mind you, if we all just sat and sat looking into space, would probably put on that weight to, hence, getting out of here!

Thanks for sharing, tis fun, plus, tis real words well put ..

Thanks Emma. Clearly it's a case of Joy by name and Joy by nature. I appreciate your feedback.

Someday I'll write about how the wife lost her moo moo. Great poem about trapped woman.
The fat disappears in my dry old hands now

That's really all there is to it.

This was clever and hilarious! These were my favorite lines
"Slippery Fingers
from much chicken Fat.
She sits by the Window with her Tabby Cat."
The mental picture! haha!

[David Trounce]

Thanks Justin for your review. My favourite line is the last.... "The pies in the oven, will be ready soon."

In my head, I picture the sadness of a once beautiful woman, now burdened by a seriously plump and lonely life, who has only one thing to look forward to.... more food.

[J. Kell]

gosh that is so sad now I feel bad for laughing :(

[David Trounce]

Don't feel bad. I laughed my head off when I wrote it. That's the irony isn't it? We do what's painful to reduce the pain.

[J. Kell]

lol that's some truth right there

This has Elizabethan flavor to it (for some reason). I'm looking forward to reading more. I hope you keep posting. :)

[David Trounce]

Thanks for the encouragement, Xavier. I wonder if the image flavoured your thinking? The image in my mind when I wrote it was the mother in, "What's eating Gilbert Grape". However, when I came across this woman (in the picture) I could not resist her look.
