Old Groaner
Old Groaner

Grumbles whether empty or full
busies himself in secrecy
sends his demands in disguise
cares not a fig for status
speaks loud when he feels ignored
mutters in dreams when replete
swells in pride when pandered
and shrinks to nothing when starved.



Line count: 8
Free verse
For Express It In Eight, 09.29.24
Prompt: Write a famished poem.
