Thin

Strained. Once broth now consommé

Texture insipid; spoonful flavourless.

Steaming; but aroma without bouquet.

Energy suffocating; spirit breathless.

Edges congealing; parched, blighted.

Without compliment; more wretched.

Recompense for gestures not sighted.

Harvest of seeds not sown nor fetched.

Expression muted, devoid of sparkle.

Mouthful by mouthful, given to darkle.
