Premium Member I Love Your Corn On the Cob
Grandma, I love your corn on the cob.
I can eat more of it than Uncle Bob.

I’m ready for more and hardly can wait
for all of that goodness there on the plate!

For all of that corn on the cob, golly gee -
a whole stick of butter...

sweet yellow plump kernels found

Tanka About Corn On the Cob
succulent and sweet
kernels unattainable
stuck between my teeth
hastily reaching forward 
A toothpick will do the trick...

Tuna On the Cob
Scented ember a moulted smoulder
Skied as crackling softness 
Spied and felt thru a film of dexterity
Uncalibrated, solvent, translucid
Trance and dance

Street fleet, guttering inhabited by creased indoctrination
Yet to be ironed
Yet to be pressed and left on the stoop
Cornered like bluefin, fed, foddered and canned
'Til the ink...

Elegant is the white swan
Joined for life swimming along
When cobs and pens breed again
Then cygnets swim with them

Cob of Corn
I am a cob of corn

whose husk was torn away

I have a yellow belly

I am exposed

I  attract hungry crows

they peck away greedily

they come to devour my good bits

and with what little they leave behind

No men will be fed...

She Smokes a Corn Cob Pipe
Everybody laughs at my wife because she smokes a corn cob pipe.
She doesn't like it when I complain, she doesn't want me to gripe.
She smokes it everywhere she goes and it makes her look like a hillbilly.
She lost a beauty contest because that damn pipe...

Premium Member Tale of Pen and Cob
Moon had reached its zenith peak
the world lay hushed for the night
some heralding flew near the pond
wind stilled as she came into sight

Ripples stirred as she entered the water
pond came to life, ere it had been dead
time had come for the return of the cob
A...

Blood For a Maize Cob
We spoke words,
We sung our emotions loud,
We felt fiery feelings for each other,
We shared smiles, we shared frowns,
We played in the rain, we wrestled in the mud,
But today we are against each other,
Today we are pointing not only fingers of accusations but actual machetes,
My folks...

Feeding the Cob :: Endecha Poem Form


On retirement day they said
from tomorrow you're free man.
I's happy to imagine 
being free; Yes, I've dreamed and had lot of plan.

In a short time became bored,
asked friends to search job for me ,
none responded back till date,
Thinking to get a job what must be...

Oh Mondseer the Muck Cob Brie Muenster Saga
Oh Mondseer: the muck cob brie muenster saga..., 
which I can prov-olone huck curd 
(within Trump con feta ration) – as cheesy poem!

Yea of course writing ideas unstoppably
burst asunder at the most inconvenient
opportunities such as driving Miss Daisy,
taking a shower, or using the bathroom.
Accursed ambition...
