Alliterative Lunacy

Little lavender lumps of lollipops
poke platinum pumpernickel
and pea-green pomegranates
with a bright blue tomato touching
the pink pineapples painted
on a double-drawered dresser,
creating cockamamie cravings 
for fire flaming red ice cream
on a checkered coconut cone
with winter white watermelon
juice just to wash it down!

Perhaps, then again, azure artichokes
found floating in a fountain
of turquoise turnips turns you on,
or variegated violet zucchini might
melt your many organic orange peas.
Pass the peas, please ...

Whatchoo in the mood for?
Whatchoo gonna do with that
crisp chocolate coated
french fried butter battered bagel by
that coal black glass of moo?
huh ... huh?
Whatcha gonna do?

"Alliterative Lunacy" funny, brilliant ! Loved it ! "Excuses" ........ you have an excellent style and even in a serious poem such as "Calculus" ( which is also excellent ) there still remains a soft and gentle humor, as in the end of "A Cosmic Joke".... and again in "I AM". I think I am going to enjoy reading a lot more of your work Sue. But "Mystery" is my favorite

This is excellent and very ingenious. I like the easy flow of the words and how they are linked together in many ways. The last stanza is my favorite. Great job! ~ Joseph
