MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Rainy Rhyme’

softly falling rain
removes the chain
of emotional pain
make it our goal main
to become fit again

heavy lifting like a crane
could feel insane
forsake words profane
if body weight you gain
oxygen flows in a vein

is it safe to explain
what does soda contain
artificial sweeteners refrain
the taste of a new domain
drink fresh sugar cane
get rid of the wine stain

stop to vilify grain
its effects ascertain
body fuel regain
learn to entertain
in the fast lane
like a bullet train

with no champagne
if we are to be sane
it may sound mundane
food is to sustain
not energy drain
extra pounds do retain
diets to disdain

it’s a deeper terrain
stop to complain
no longer restrain
preaching was in vain
eating is not humane

abstain

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Overweight’

an update!
what we ate
could relate
to our fate

there has been a debate
that what is on the plate
illness can create

how could one translate
kind words of a mate
saying we carry extra weight

our appetite does dilate
we start to eat at eight
stop when it’s too late

exercise we sure hate
to wiggle like a fat bait
then meet the same fate

yet! it is not in us innate

I willfully state
it is not too late
new habits to dictate

the promise is great
to change our fate
we cannot wait

for a better date
or be too overweight
to fit the heavens gate

MORNING POETRY – ‘Juice’

on a different note
I squeezed
an orange

applied pressure
squirt!
the pay-off

liquid of gods
fully recharged
ready for the day

what is coffee?

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘The Fat Dream’

too fat for a morning jog
too fat for a gym
too fat for a nature’s walk
too fat for a swim

nothing helps to motivate
green shake taste of grass
gym right across the road
tight leggings sign of class

the body growing bigger suit
the mystery of getting lean
the food intake is increasing
no movement to be seen

there are reasons to cry
and yet more to laugh
what brings our satisfaction
being content with half

to eat less to drink more
to think less to love more
to dream less to live more
to sit less to move more

saying that watching the screen
tell me what do I mean
deep down the endless fight
delish food or looking light
