Kim Rodrigues Poet Free verse

Marmalade Madmen

Marmalade madmen
advertising butter and bread,
tasty orange sweet,
with a smile complete.

Spreading the marmalade,
thick greeting of lips,
lopsided and listing,
opening orbs.

Jingjing Li, sectioning,
slicing jars, supercilious-
naughty, rolling right side
and upside down - smiling.

Fruity and delicious, toothy.
Bitter and delicious tongue
treat. Bergamots, citrus
pucker ups. Yes, please.

Gershon Wolf November 16, 2024 at 10:09 PM You've gone and made a mountain out of marmalade! How about that?! I'd call it Mt. Everest- the grandest of the peaks. Keep on jammin' there, Kim! :) gw Kim Rodrigues November 17, 2024 at 10:30 AM So glad you are back because I miss the laughs! “made a mountain out of marmalade”

Victor Buhagiar November 15, 2024 at 2:10 AM I used to spread jam thickly too. Now I'm on a diet. Kim Rodrigues November 15, 2024 at 5:01 AM My husband is the the jam and jelly guy, but even he has cut back on that. Hugs ~ Kim
