Limber up, tone the
muscles. Feeble minds feigning
swirl of profound strength
Notions of tedious
endeavors splayed with
dreams of Adonis
To detonate in
deceit. Humbled by failures
Hurtled as fodder
Written for 3WW with words limber, detonate and tedious
first burst

dude, i wonder if that guy can even bend his arms like a regular person...there comes a point when you hurt yourself doing it...
ReplyDeleteI thought so too. It's supposed to be body beautiful. But it looks to be grotesquely deformed. For all that they had to put in lots of hours!

Damn, a steroid freak that could be, I would not want such lumps on me. And pfft to Brian!
ReplyDeleteShow offs, that's what they are! And they are willing to spend on steroids to shorten their lives!

wow muscles galore. I often worry they are risking theor health to have those things
ReplyDeleteYes, and worst if prompted by wrongful use of muscles enhancing drugs.
DeleteSeamless writing, yet the reader can tell you have thought carefully about each word. Brava.
ReplyDeleteThanks Shauna! Some words are elusive and difficult, while some just flow in.
DeleteHow vain must on be
ReplyDeleteTo have such veins?
It really does look grotesque.
Cheers!

It takes time and efforts to have such rippling muscles. Yes, how vain! Must be satisfying for them, though!
DeleteAnother triple triumph!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave!
DeleteI am grossed out by that muscle. Enjoyed the poem, though... especially first stanza.
ReplyDeleteThanks Laurie!
DeleteGreat use of the words! I hope you had a great Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteThanks OE! I rejoice together, yes!
DeleteYes, we fool no-one but ourselves - but still, we dream! Clever use of the prompts.
ReplyDeleteWords used masterfully, Hank!
