Bottle of water in hand,
sweats bagging at knees,
three sizes large,
to let heat trim me down.
.
Crunching a carrot
oh, tastes so good, almost as good
as my nacho cheese chips
but sigh, no dip.
.
Hungry thoughts make me drool,
I want to eat spinach, I want to be good,
but the thought of an ice cream
will defeat my plan to look cool.
.
When I get thin, I'll look so good
I'll bare my belly and waggle my hips,
I need to attract attention,
I need to be loved, so wow,
this celery sure tastes good.

"This May Not Be Anthologized, But..."
I guess these silly rhymes of mine
Are the art of my invention
Do I write them for posterity?

by Cj Mitchell
Mommy
I used to beg you for a hug
but you didn't have the time,
You'd shoo at me to go away
like it was such a crime.
So I would
They notice me now
They see how thin I am.
My hair brittle.
My nails splitting.
Now they know I am alive.
They didn't used
by Jon Coe
This pit in my stomach, will not subside
hankering for something, to feed this pride
A plate of you, or a big bowl of my invention
by Olivia Kay
People pass by as if I'm invisible,
Not a kind word, not even a glance in my direction,
Racing by, too busy to notice, too
