The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."

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.
