Best Cashews Poems

"Nuts are in the soup!" 
That's what I've heard: not so absurd
Some add a pinch of spice now and then,
from wit and the sharpened nib of a pen.
Nutty little writers who like to fill
the soup with limericks about 'poop.'
But have other poetic skills.

An almond releases...

A blessed soil which perspires cashews and coughs out black pepper,
its global banner of rice is raised so high
which is only beaten by one.
Specializing in the juices of the commonest limbless reptile
with cuisines highly recommended by the parliaments of health.

From dragons to birds;
the turtle to...

I wrote these lines 7 years ago, slightly edited today. 
Perhaps they have more meaning now than they did then.

"There are so many nuts in the soup!" 
That's what I hear and see and it's not absurd.
Some poets add a pinch of spice now and...

Am I Nuts?

Chestnuts don’t grow on chests
Walnuts don’t grow on walls
Peanuts don’t come from peas
Cashews come from the fruit on trees
Pecans don’t come from peacock feathers

Pistachios fall from Pinocchio’s nose
Hazelnuts relax in the hazy sun
Macadamias are MacDonald’s big Mac nuts
Almonds are singing nuts, called the...

Columbus — on a notion —
To find a shorter route,
Sailed across the ocean
And discovered awesome food!

Fantastic avocados,
The corn-grain of the land,
And wholesome sweet potatoes
Delighted western Man.

Peppers — shipped to yonder —
Created a sensation
As potatoes sated hunger
In many a needy nation.

Tomatoes, great for sauces,
The pineapple —...

Most people go bananas 
over chocolate
I'm well nuts about nuts 
as well
Stuff them in chocolate
ice-cream or sherbet.

Yeah munch on peanuts
brunch on hazelnuts
Ah lunch on pecan nuts
or crunch on chestnuts

For nuts could never 
drive one nuts
Ironically nutters 
perhaps never ate them
A nutcase perhaps never 
pried open
a...

The Mother Earth

The fountain of your profound love
Gushing out with presents and gifts
Showering bounties, its treasure trove 
To all mankind your love drifts.

Your rivers and seas, forests and fields
Are full of provisions to banish hunger
You do not relent to meet our needs
You distinguish not between...

BLOOD MORNING.

Writing from the vicinity of
Aluu,
My beautiful taboo.

Here is the hometown of Kalu,
My good friend who resides in
Kano.
Aluu, the popular city wearing
Jungle tattoos,

In this city, atrocity happens every
Afternoon
Innocent blood could be mistaken 
For cashews,
Vampires breathing within manhood.

Now I can't eat my Apu
Human beings could be...

Have you seen the movie
you know the one
Woody Allen, 
the call girl, son

That’s my favorite
Mango 
sauce, 
sushi 
sashimi 
land of the lost

bad Santa, Will Farrell
Italian singers, 
Bach, 
Beethoven
your little fingers

Try this salad
Thai and sweet
I’m getting fat
what shall we eat

Chianti is good
neath these lights
sangria, and chili
lets...

PLATTERS

Platter full of pastries.
Plate of fruits and mixed nuts.
Peaches and plums, so sweet.
Pineapple so juicy.
Pecans so buttery.
Pistachios, cashews
Palatable, tasty.

I left the convenience store with a bag of cashews,
which I munched on my walk home.
I came upon a squirrel foraging
among the birds on the ground all alone.
I tossed a cashew this squirrel's way,
and the squirrel pounced on it right away.
I tossed it another and...

Croissant, crisp
buttered farm fresh
marmalade is laid
asking for a taste rape
orange juice, 
just taken
from crop gash
cashews,
fair and smiling
roasted fine
coffee,
musky
and tongue
soothing hot
bacons,
succulent
teeth,
deep sunk
eggs,
laid
by hen
taking
my name
made 
in boil,
scramble
and lette
thin
crust
of pizzaette,
plain and
meatless
green tea,
wafting
by the 
sea
simmering
and naughty
hunger,
in the dews
of morning
after a run
on health gun
repast,
invites
would 
you
join in?...

Peanuts might be the most popular around
In any grocery store, pecans are found

Almonds alone, or with chocolate are nice
Macadamia nuts, will please for a price

Those who choose cashews, seem quite happy
Walnuts are always bought, by my pappy

Brazil nuts, I assume, came from Brazil
But Doughnuts, are...

When I Am Feeling Sad

When the bills come.  When bad news breaks.  When I’m feeling sad.
I simply start eating my favorite things.  And then I don’t feel so bad.
I eat cheesecake and some doughnuts.  Next its time for flan.
Peanut butter cookies,...

Chocolate turtles
Amazing taste to the last in line
Cashews alone are great
Chocolate kicks in the endorphins
Carmel is so sweet
Combine all three and the tasts 
Oh my the taste is better
It is better...
