You'd think that I'd be dieting, but I'm not.

We Are the Results of Our Seductions
Dieting on erotic products,
Induces an hypnotic feeling started.
And like a narcotic,
We are quick to become hooked.
Baited with temptations...
Seasoned to fry,
Or baked like a fish cooked.
And this mainlining,
Done to us without the prick of needles.
Afflicted with addictions done...
Without the prick of needles.
Dieting to get a fix,
Without the prick of needles to assist it.
Baited with temptations...
Seasoned to fry,
Or baked like a fish cooked.
Hooked!
We are the results of our seductions.

Because I stopped dieting already six months ago, and I think it's important to bring out a book like this and you are there a year later and say look, I'm still like this.

Yo-yo
Many Diets you follow.
Losing weight like no tomorrow.
And it finally plateau,
You indulge in sweet sorrow.
That's called dieting Yo-Yo.
Dieting is murder on the road. Show me a man who travels and I'll show you one who eats.

I started dieting. I dieted, dieted, dieted and tried all the diets and I would lose and then I would go back to normal eating and would put it on and then some.

Dieting on New Year's Day isn't a good idea as you can't eat rationally but really need to be free to consume whatever is necessary, moment by moment, in order to ease your hangover. I think it would be much more sensible if resolutions began generally on January the second.

Juggling
If it enters the mind,
It's going to find out why it's there.
You're going to act upon it.
It's going to be there knowing that.
It's just going to take time for denial to fade away.
And staying away from temptation,
Is like trying to hide from the tax man!
You are going to bump into each other,
Eventually!
Either decide you're going to deal with it,
or suffer the consequences...
For a delayed decision.
Either way you're going to pay.
Curiosity has a price.
Whether it's bought outright...
Laid away or leased.
Either way...
You are going to pay,
And be taxed for your troubles...
Juggling trying to please.
Feeling giddy,
Then relieved!
Then trapped like fat on dieting thighs!
You had to have it...
Now everyone sees,
You are not as pleased
As you thought you would be!
It's not an easy task...
Trying to ax what's on your ass!

Metamorphosis
Commenced
as a tiny
egg glued to foliage.
Maturing bondage in a shell
awaits
Larva
Eating, growing,
full size caterpillar
outgrows its present confines.
Splitting
Again
Reattaching
itself with liquid from
its spinneret. Creating a
button.
hanging
little pupa
dieting, motionless,
metamorphosing completely
anew
Cracking,
exposing head
and thorax first. Followed
by legs and golden wings of a
Monarch.

Friendship Blessings In Illness Adversity
after over a week
of nasty typhoid
an unpleasant
experience crippling
which induces
unintentional
extreme dieting
excessive sleeping
some pale introspection
when the earth moved
it left me unmoved
except in sympathy
for those in fear, pain,
suffering material loss
worse physical wounds
loss of loved ones
cycles of suffering
have many causes
too few sources of healing
thus in friends loved ones
are we usually most blessed

Shakespearean Sonnet 1 Modernized
Hi, beautiful, having no suitors yet?
Make haste, and of yourself, do make copies,
That when you're dead, the grandchildren you'll get,
Will cause remembrance to your memories:
But you, bent on being a slim beauty,
Subsisted, at length, on your body fat,
Dieting, eating none when there's plenty,
Punishing yourself, severely at that:
You, who are the last show of youthfulness,
And from whose womb new life could have issued,
But now, really wasted to uselessness,
While childless, as siring you've not pursued:
....You all, single, married, abandoned wife,
....Tarry not, live: go make yourself a life.

How Things Really Went
when he turned pale and fainted
he blamed it on his dieting
he said he did not eat breakfast
that morning
when his eyes turned red at noon
he said he got sore eyes
and blamed the knob of the
door for the infection
and on the night when he locked
his room he said he wanted to
sleep early as he lacked sleep
writing his poems
he drank poison a la socrates
and when he died
the froth on his mouth looked like
the bloom of a
while million flower
he did not tell the truth
that his wife left him with another man

Selective Dieting
Yes, I admit...
I live where some,
Could not quietly sit...
Without having themselves medicated.
And I love the ambiance,
Of what had been once called a ghetto.
Where people like me,
Feel quite comfortable and free to be...
With a socializing done with neighbors I know.
While those 'existing' in sprawling suburban divisions,
Pretend with their mounting debt...
They enjoy living lives they do not regret!
And I enjoy making a sandwich materialized,
Out of thin air!
That's my response to the few I have visited there!
How they manage to do it?
By means of selective dieting!
Hey...
That's what I'm told.
So I go with what I know!
Although...
I want the taste of real mayonnaise and tomato,
On any whole wheat sandwich I make!

Age of Distraction
Life busy, accompanying Distractions
Modern technology are addictive attractions
Preoccupation there, concentration lacking
your precious time this self indulgence hacking
gratifications costing your work efficiency
Other times family sensing deficiency
Purpose of life lost & astray
Digital dieting is call for the day
Cue is prioritizing needs and wants
Productive engagement necessary to ascent this Mont
Balancing the family, work n modern life
Existence much wholesome, wellness thrives.

The American birds; but the dialect is not English
While I was sitting on the toilet commode in the morning (The senile-type Armenian doctor diagnosed my sickness as ' Bulimia Nervosa' an eating disorder in which overeating alternates with self induced vomiting, dieting or purging.)
What a lovely language of the birds I heard from the top of the Maple tree next-door?
It's very hard to understand their dialogue but some words and the accent were very familiar with a rhyme to me.
'Jack & Jill went up the hill and Gay marriages with a thrill,
Hillary, Obama, John and Bush
Afghanistan, Iran, North Korea and Iraq.'
And I guessed they talked something seriously of the coming fair Election?
