Best Cranberry Poems

For John Hink


I left your stool in my kitchen corner where you sat, a crooked grin on your weathered face that had seen a hundred sunsets. Fields you tilled by horse-drawn plows now contracted to clusters of  London Bespoke Suits leveraging corn oil markets.Patiently...

Celestial sauce for all.
    Clementine, port and fruit, 
      Churn with sugar so sweet.
        Condiment for turkey, 
           caramelize your...

Bright, red, tart cranberries boil 
with white sugar sweet
cooled the sauce is mixed with nuts
orange rinds a treat
chilled to perfection 
served beside
yum!

CRANBERRY HARVEST

Jelly birthed from a can
“Phloop”
DNA traits, solid with ridges,
a cranberry infantile jiggle.

I took for granted the birth,
until i saw the vinaceous bogs,
the waterlogged cradle —
Oh how succulent!

Crimson dawn appears, as the waters rise —
cranberries on their verdant vines.
Pregnant trucks deliver
this tangy thanksgiving feast.

Oh baby!...

Cranberry Harvest

The golden leaves crunch under my feet
As I watch the seven harvest machines dance
Across the cranberry field in choreographed formation.

The thick black rain clouds are blown by fierce winds
Allowing the bright sun to make an appearance.
The heavy fragrance of fall foliage is in the...

This sky dome
Held by thousands of threads 
of sunshine,
Is a musical instrument;

Its sounds pour out when 
Life flips its strings;

Dragonflies are the first 
to make the light high-pitched tone;

Swallows are next
Rapid, cheerful notes emitted
From their aerodynamic bodies;

Then appears a father pushing the stroller
Carefully and affectionately
A...

time has no meaning here
all about is tidings and cheer
our team always win
and the wind keeps the kites high
the grass cut and green
the lake blue and serene
soccer moms and toddlers toddling
while dads encourage
at finale at last 
we run to to the square for a blast
we...

CRANBERRY

Round like grapes 
The size of marbles
Red like many cherries 
And nearly smooth like apples
The darling little things teamed with
 Citrus make some very nice muffins
 And loaves of bread with neither a hint of thread 
from even a blanket nor yarn from the barn

They...

As the burning bush astral signals
impale me all at once
I climb Jacob's ladder before I plummet
running from the siren song
That billows beyond waterfalls and the journeyman's sighs

Its unbearable lying among cranberry leaves
the ivory cuts me to sheaths
Beyond embryonic sheets I cry for a spiritual sleeve
To...

velvet dusk drips ruby light
where the bog hums soft and low
mist curls like whispered secrets
on waters dark and slow

berries gleam like fallen stars
floating where the nightwind sings
red as love and red as longing
red as fleeting, fragile things

feet sink deep in crimson pools
visions dance in tangled...

Mr Elephantus Oak was in the middle of a nap that day
When Dancing Cranberry Faerie came skipping by with a hey!
He was surprised, as it was Christmas week, and this was not her way.
Usually she was with Santa, helping to make toys so gay!

Green and...

You are like a song in my breast
That I have not even whispered yet
Afraid of jinxing the uniqueness 
Of jazz we have inside our chest

The idea of you like chocolate cake
Icing not needed for you’re sweet to taste
And I look forward to every denim day
Hoping...

How I miss what I never had
Long hot kisses kinetic cranberry flavored
As I struggle with my need to breathe
Every breath in and out for you
The deepest fuzzy feelings ferment 
In every fiber of my body my soul
We are so close yet so far
Long distance love...

Crescendo heart of cranberry sparks passion 
So hot my mind takes a hazel heat thrashing 
Melting silhouette on my brain
A love tattoo of the insane

Your scent is like lint on peach pillow
I cling to it for makes me mellow
Stealing your tshirt for my clothes
Acting really...

Autumn Season (Acrostic)

Autumn brings a beautiful season of splendor each year
Unusual beauty of the leaves—their grandeur is so fair
Touching hearts of God’s creation with radiance bright
Urging us on to enjoy such natural beauty and delight
Manifestation of what He has done for our great earth
Now God...
