Best Chewable Poems

TWICE UPON A TIME 

two things clicked. A severed 
evening parachuting down 
on a hillock where a palace 
hovered about. And coming 
to terms with a cool perspective. 

Kuchipudi there was. And Payal 
to perform. Dispelling detachments. 
And dithering in acceptance. I was
being answered in...

(To Greg)

I have a friend who’s been in my life, for such a very long time.
As I remember, 1980 was the year. The ladder of success, I wanted to climb.

I was almost out of college. Through the Travel Agency ads I hunted.
And then I answered...

As staple food* for my soul, irresistible
Bread of life --- indeed perfectly infallible
Chewable, appetizing midst wondrous sweetness
Delectable with much honey-glazed graciousness…
Ever tasty to my heart for grand existence
Flavorful milk does fortify bones’ persistence
Grabbing my taste buds to defy bitterness-sting
Having me savor pure truth toward health...

I am offended 
by your metaphors,
they're vindictive
the way they dangle themselves 
above my heartstrings,
periodically plucking
when one gets tangled in the wind

they just hang there
like an untame pennon
waiting to flap
for blatant recognition

my, how you crave those squalls
with such ravenous gluttony,
gnawing at the pellucid air
as though it...

THE UTOPIAN DREAM BABY

She is in darkness and beautiful
What I dream of my Utopian dream baby

In the future I wish to see her born
As  a very big mansion of mine on the moon

My own supersonic airplane to Heaven
A long bridge across the continents

There's a lovely girl called Vanessa
who's prone to foods so very sweet
especially that of the chewy variety
such a temptation she falls off her feet

This beautiful girl is a real stunner
but that doesn't help her beat her treat
a Queen she's undoubtedly crowned
royal standard accomplished a poetic...

What is love? 
This sentence came to me one day. 
What is love?
It’s when my spouse kisses me, you say
But is that what love is? Doesn’t it have more than one meaning?
What about when you get home and your kids are cleaning?
Isn’t love when you...

Digging my own grave synonymous with a sense of accomplishment

Quite an undertaking
to break ground
figuratively, and symbolically linkedin
while able bodied and mindedness
readies cemetery plot within Elysian Fields
although honestly, and truthfully
as an organ donor,
yours truly opts for cremation
once I, the corporeal constituent essence
that constitutes breadth,
height, length, et...

Remember when...
Getting high meant swinging on the playground, 
never connected to smoke from an exhale sound 

The worst thing you could get from the opposite sex were cooties, 
now we risk STD’s when pursuing sexual opportunities

Your Mom or Dad was synonymous for hero, 
The one...

Who lives here? Asked Crabby Hat, a magical cat.
She had turned herself tiny like an overgrown gnat.
I hope it’s a juicy mole, a tasty vole or a chewable rat
Said her sister, a big eater, Miss Tabby Brat. 

It’s just an old troll, said an interloper...

Nigerians’ most feared President 
And possible Hell-fire President
But rather My Bad Friend
I had to mourn his ***** end 
For the Cameroonian Presence in Bakassi
He beautifully dismissed as a heresy:
A subject of panicking intricacy
On his dining table chewable delicacy…

Save that his sit- tight anxiety
Was the damnedest...

First sighting

It was an early summer morning when my best friend Edwin 
threw pebbles on my window to wake me up
I like morning slumber, waking up at six, looking at the alarm
the clock on the bedstand and think of two hours more sleep.
Ewin said there...

Standing in the queue for my turn,
seeing others faces, under blazing sun.
ok, insanely I am still human,
As, stupid habits for everyone, its given.

One path leading to another,
Everytime it felt more and more better.
Day arrived, change of plan,
Execution ground was somewhat different.

Ohh, its same, just a...
