[ProfessorMishap]

Recently, Berggie has set up a contest for a picture of his. Check it out and the other story entries in his journal. As for me: I did a poem since its a unique twist. I hope people like it and I do well, wish me luck guys ^^

~Allie Strong was normal as could be
With a hip and a skip she oozed with glee
Cinnamon locks and gorgeous eyes
Buxom top and skinny thighs
Clickity clack her heels on the ground
Drawing stares from all around
Long legs in a skimpy skirt
Buttons to the top of her shirt
Making her way to market ahead
But something causes the turn of her head
A stoutly woman with bottles to sell
Filled with a rainbow of colors as well
“Just what I needed!” Allie deciding to stay
“A drink was on my list anyway.”
Licking her lips picking with her eyes
But the seller spoke to her sudden surprise
“Be careful young one, these drinks are quite strong.”
“One sip and many things could go wrong.”
Allie was not pleased with the woman’s heeding tongue
“I know what I’m doing and how dare you call me young!”
“I know soda’s sugar and can make people fat.”
“I’ll drink only one it’s as simple as that.”
A fiery tongue young Allie did lash
Taking bottle of green and slamming her cash
“I’ll say this once and give it to you straight-”
“Take you own advice about watching your weight!”
“You watch your mouth!” The woman said so
“Throw away my advice and simply go!”
Allie walked away from a mess she made
“What a shady store, you’re lucky I paid.”
Allie’s laugh rung oh so clear in her ears
If she wasn’t so angry she’d instead be in tears
“High and mighty like a queen on her throne”
“It wouldn’t surprise if you were simply alone.”
“My warning was true, things will be wrong”
“Attitude and nose raised high, oh but for how long?”
With liquid in hand it washed and churned
Taking no pause, giving the cork a turn
An eerie mist soon would rise
However, not drawing Allie’s eyes
Bottoms up and elixir down
Drip by drip in her stroll through town
With nothing left, the bottle was clear
“With a taste like that I have nothing to fear.”
As she smacked her lips she spotted the store
Without a care in the world she steps through the door
The store bell dings with a tiny chime
Little to no shoppers inside, she was just in time
“I think I’ll start with milk” she pondered somewhat
But suddenly she felt a jolt in her gut
A gentle tap became a nudge, a punch
“An upset stomach, I didn’t even have lunch”
Was it that drink without a name?
Giving a grunt she knew who to blame
As she went down the aisle the pain grew worse
She gritted her teeth and dug in her purse
Something to ease that terrible ache
Her rumbles, her shakes, her tummy quakes
But it suddenly stopped, faded away
“That was pretty odd” a confused Allie would say
She tried her best not to think of the pain
The feeling maybe gone but the memory remains
“Where did that come from?” she said with pout
But her foggy mind couldn’t figure it out
It was best to ignore it she thought with a smile
Picking out items as she walked down the aisle
But alas the pain it came back with a bite
Lunging her forward with its shocking might
It felt like a knife was stabbing her through
It burned with fury, what was she to do?
A man took notice to her painful jerk
Rushing to her aid and ignoring his work
Holding by the shoulders for more support
“Are you alright?” came a small retort
The pain did fade yet again she saw
Now leaving her with an open jaw
The man that helped her was cute she thought
But feeling his touch made her blush a lot
“I’m fine” she said stepping aside
Checking below, with her hand to her side
“That looked painful, should a doctor come by?”
Allie shook her with her head held high
An awkward silence would follow soon after
Then a volley of nervous laughter
“I should get going, I don’t wanna get fired.”
Since it was the end of what had transpired
Turning around quickly to leave
Something then surely rolled off his sleeve
A pen that he held in the front of his shirt
Allie took notice and soon gave alert
“You’re pen!” she said bending over to grab
But suddenly returned the stomach jab
The pain, it hurt as she shouted out
It was sharp and worse without a doubt
The man turned for another verbal exchange
But would turn to see something quite strange
Offering him the pen as she came up from her lean
Her hazel eyes would surely turn green!
He gasped from the bizarre event
“Is something wrong?” little Allie went?
Her new green eyes glowed in her head
But that eerie green would surely spread
Up her arm and down her chest
Scaling her legs and through the rest
Allie didn’t know as she tilted her head
Dropping the pen in his shirt instead
The pain she felt didn’t leave quite yet
It stung over and over, causing her to sweat
Her stomach now made its own terrible cries
Bubbles and groans soon would arise
“You definitely need a doctor.” the man soon advised
But yet another event would cause more surprise
As Allie stood high, she indeed stood tall
Taller than normal as he soon would recall
His forehead was her height limit before
But now that wasn’t the limit anymore
She was high off the ground, her chin over his head
Over the top shelf and past the bread
“I’m fine really. It’s just a tummy ache.”
Allie truly didn’t know which was a mistake
Her stomach made a sound once again it would seem
Leading to Allie giving yet another scream
The evidence was there, from the strange green glow
But now more would arise as Allie began to grow
It was in a flash, hiking her skirt and shirt
She grew quite a bit in her abnormal spurt
The man couldn’t flee, his legs would not budge
There was no one around to give him that nudge
Past the bread went her ample chest
Rips began to form in her bosom’s nest
Allie opened her eyes in the storm of pain
Only to find something to confuse her brain
“Hey, what’s going on? What’s happening here?
Allie would say, her voice filled with fear
“Is everything shrinking?” Allie asked very confused
That’s crazy, impossible her mind would refuse
Her clothes were so tight as they wrapped and snagged
Squeezing her limbs, as rips zigged and zagged
The world couldn’t shrink Allie’s would decree
“The only thing that would change would be me!”
She finally realized her bodily change
A growing frame, and her clothes in exchange
Allie huffed and puffed in a panicked state
She needed to get help before it’s too late
She scouted down to search for the man
But him being gone was not in her plan
He ran away, it was a terrible sight
What was she to do now in her increasing height?
Her stomach gargled and washed inside
It wouldn’t stop no matter what she tried
“That drink!” Allie shouted taking note
“That dirty old lady…” She said holding her throat
“I’ll find her and force her to fix this mess”
But Allie’s swinging anger would return to distress
She was getting too big, her clothes could take no more
Her shirt and skirt would soon meet the floor
Snap! Rip! Pop! Strain!
“This can’t be happening. This is just insane”
Underwear of pink soon losing its grip
She’d surely be naked with one final rip
Time was against her she had to move fast
Because fabric that thin surely would not last
With shelf high knees, she moved with haste
Racing to the exit with no time to waste
Her toes explode forth from her shoes below
Ripping all around they were the next to go
Tattered socks then naked feet
Slapping the cold store with a thumping beat
Her glow shined on, people would finally see
A giant girl racing down aisle number 3
Knocking down products with her expanding frame
Folks that entered went back where they came
Moving that speed she’d surely trip
Crushing everything with her massive hips
Stepping over the register below
Faster and faster she did grow
“My god she’s at least 20 feet tall!”
Said a fleeing man before hitting wall
She was too big for the door even on her knees
If she was 10 feet smaller she could fit through with ease
But alas, she was stuck with people still inside
The only now was for her to hide
Breaking property wouldn’t ever be good
But it wasn’t her choice she soon understood
Sprawling back onto registers and cans
Allie wheezed and gasped as she looked at her hands
The shoppers screamed at her expanding size
But everyone soon would get another surprise.
The bubbles and churns, they would return
Her body ached and soon began to burn
“Why, oh why is this happening to me?”
“Please make it stop!” Allie cried her plea
Allie’s body grew huge, not stopping its swell
But soon something else would grow as well
Her legs, her arms, the sensation was strong
“Oh-no, oh great, what else could go wrong?”
Her thighs shook and moved all around
Swelling as well with a stretching sound!
They bulged and grew without pause or rest
The same could be said about her jolting chest
Her bra cried help as surrender was near
At that rate and speed, damage would be severe
Her panties could scream no more, no less
Exploding in pieces from the massive stress
The fight was over for her bra the same
Finally letting loose the beasts they tamed
Naked, nude, Allie gave a squeal
With nothing around to help her conceal
Covering her shame was all she could do
With her rear to the people it began to plow through
Pushing them back like a massive wall
Knocking more store items, crushing them all
The people could no longer get outside
No matter how hard they pushed, shoved or tried
“We’ll all be killed!” a man would shout
“Surely there’s has to be another way out!”
“There’s a door in the back!” an employee said
“We can all go through there instead!”
Running, scrambling they all fled in fear
Leaving behind Allie’s growing rear
She whimpered and watched as she couldn’t stop
Growing from her legs and straight to the top
“Ouch!” goes Allie she hit it with a spurt
Rubbing her head “That really hurt.”
The store was empty as she would see
As well as her rear going back to aisle 3
It crushed the soda, the chips, and even the bread
All while the ceiling fought bravely with her head
Her glow hummed like a musical tune
Around her body that was now a balloon
Blowing up and out, the store was now in pain
Cracking on top with a massive strain
Allie’s legs burst forth through the windows ahead
But her bottom would stay inside instead
The ceiling was done as her head grew and grew
With a massive “BOOM!” it finally breaks through
With her head outside she could see all around
But her lower part was still store bound
“Stop growing! Stop growing!” Allie began to yell
But her body continued to grow, expand and swell
But her stomach yelled back as she could tell
It didn’t take her demand very well
Allie would soon have more on her plate
As her angry belly began to inflate!
Bubbling, gurgling, growing around
Forming into a massive mound
The front of the store was next on the list
And in mere moments it would cease to exist
The store collapsed in a cloud of dust
Kicking up a dirty gust
The store was gone, smashed away
But the growing Allie would likely stay
Her growing frame no longer contained
Nothing left to keep it restrained
“I’m growing faster!” Allie would see
As her body expanded at a higher degree
Her legs shoot forth, smashing cars in the lot
Grinding stones to dust in her sitting spot
She had to get up or surely she’d be stuck
And so she turned over with a bit of luck
On her knees, Allie tried to stand
But her belly was too big and soon took command
Standing to her feet was out of her reach
She grunted and groaned and jumbled her speech
The ground below crumbled and shook
Her belly was so round she couldn’t even look
This growth took control, it wouldn’t rest
The only place was up, without request
She could see the land shrinking small
Cars and trees, she could see it all
The breeze was cold across her nips
She shivered and shook and wiggled her hips
“This is just a dream. Nothing more”
The growth, the mess, she tried to ignore
But it felt very real as her toes hits a pole
Snatching it up from its concrete hole
The vibrations, the glow, it all seemed real
Scouting her bellying and giving a feel
Soon her legs would reach the street
And cars would honk, swerving around her feet
She could feel many bumps as cars collide
Jammed up by her leg and stopping their ride
Back in front her belly grew on
Smooshing the cars and the ground It grew upon
Higher she went with no sign of pause
With no way to travel to the source of the cause
“Why won’t I stop? The bottle was small!”
But obviously that didn’t matter at all
Her hands were the size of billboards and more
Now as big the building she smashed up before
She could do nothing else, but listen around
And hear the orchestra of her bodily sounds
Her skin felt tight as she grew everywhere
Even the strands of her cinnamon hair
The sounds were a mixture of rubber and hums
Coming from every inch, even her thumbs
Crash! Goes something big from behind!
Something as big as her she surely would find
Turning her head to see what she hit
Her leg in a building plowing straight through it
The girth of her shin would implode the frame
Returning it stones from which it came
Knocking down two, no three, even four
Her legs devastate as they scraped across the floor
She wiggled her toes and drew them in
Feeling so much debris brushing on her skin
Her front now met the cities other side
Where her belly plowed through, now two buildings wide
Nothing could withstand its pushing force
Nowhere else to go, running its course
Allie’s eyes filled with tears of fear
She’d never stop growing, the end was near
The city stood no chance against her giant frame
Everything’s fate was one in the same
Her hip pushed left, and her hip pushed right
Not one thing no longer put up a fight
Allie only hoped and prayed
The people survived the mess she made
A cloud of dust swept the ground
From all the buildings destroyed around
Allie sobbed and cried, at all the debris
From the bottom of her heart she asked “Why me?”
“If only I had listened to that woman’s words”
“My head wouldn’t be soaring up with the birds”
“I’m growing non stop and my body’s so big”
“A fitting image for such a pig.”
“I was so mean, I didn’t watch what I said”
“I had to be smart and mouth off instead”
“I guess this is it, my future looks bleak.”
“Growing forever with this fleshy physique.”
The city’s fall was now at its end
Allie’s heart sank deep, while her body ascends
She had become what she loathed, she realized then
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’ll never do it again!”
Allie squinted her eyes and cried out a plea
Only to open them again, and wake up in aisle 3
A dream? Really? Was it really all fake?
Her head was fuzzy as she gave it a shake.
“Are you alright miss?” A voice would say
The man who ran never really went away
“You said you were fine, but then you passed out”
“I was gonna dial for help, but you woke up no doubt.”
Allie was puzzled having help to rise
Checking if she was indeed the right size
Below his forehead, a sigh she gave
Giving the okay, with a small wave
She had to make amends, find the seller before
So she dashes through the aisle and out of the door.
Her heels clicked and clacked on the dark grey street
Turning the corner on the solid concrete
But alas, the woman was gone from that place
And Allie held grief all over her face
But that was when she realized
She was located on the other side!
“Oh miss! Hey miss!” Allie shouted with a wave
This time would be different, she had to behave
The seller would notice the returning girl
Remembering that girl made her head whirl
An expect reaction, Allie didn’t blame
She walks up slowly, lowering her head in shame
“I’m sorry, forgive me, I was out of my mind.”
“Please forgive my actions for I was not kind.”
The old seller pondered, she rubbed her chin
Trying to find the forgiveness within
She looked at Allie’s puppy dog eyes
And truly knew her words weren’t lies
“ Young one, you’ve learned quite a lot.”
“In a shorter time than I expected or thought”
“You are forgiven, now away with you, shoo”
“I have many customers and much work to do.”
“Thank you, thank you!” Allie said right away
Turning around to continue her day
But wait, she’s busy, and what customers? Where?
Allie quickly turned around… and she wasn’t there
Not there? How strange, Allie thought in her head
Was she another dream? Or a mirage instead
Allie’s head hurt as she walked down the street
Scratching her head “I need something sweet.”
Some candy or something, it would bring her cheer
She believed she’d gone mad, or so she feared
Digging in her bag to find something nice
Around her keychain with fuzzy dice
She saw something odd and grabbed with care
To her shock and surprise, the bottle was there…~

Long poem is long

[ProfessorMishap]

Indeed. I just wanted to flesh it out and make it go along with his pictures. That or I got carried away again... ._.

[TF-Viewer]

Just my opinion, but shortening it by 75% might not be a bad idea. Either that, or.. try turning it into a story maybe.

I already have a some stories on my plate, so I thought about doing something different. Its not that long really, but a short poem wouldn't seem like a good entry would it? I was basically putting a lot of effort into it so I can up my chances.

Hmm, I think I made it long since I saw a poem long ago using story telling and it inspired me.

[LOD]

I don't see the need to shorten it, breaking it up into stanzas would accomplish the same thing.

[joeman]

There is no need to shorten it. Very imaginative.

[Sess]

Hey, it worked for Homer

[Jungles]

Some stanzas would really go a long way, however.

[BlazingBarrager]

Screw shortening it. It's perfect the way it is.

[wilkem101]

Awesome. No need to shorten it either! I'd like to see more stuff like this, epic poems about growth. Keep it up!!
