Best Danish Poems

Small things Remembered 
 
The shop at the corner 
Of my childhood 
Has stopped selling Danish pastry
Nor has it Coco macrons,
Milk and cheese
The rooms are bare 
On its counter cutting cheeses in smaller portion
An old fashion weight 
Used when selling butter
Dusty windows
Forgotten, no one says:...

Who would order a Danish and fart---
   But his diarrhea
   Gave him an idea--- 
He'd package and sell it as 'Cherry Tart'...

once when my heart was heavy
sought refuge in a place where the laughter was strange
where there were men of pestilence in their souls
but it was a place to call home
it was a place that in the cold of night remained warm
you might be frightened by...

i was coming from the break room
ready to open something sweet
when i pass by the room of a smiling kid
it was Christmas Day and the kid had tears in her eyes
her parents and other family members were Thanking and Praising God around her

The Woman is A Danish 
And married to A Scottish
But often heard in English:
Language she speaks with relish…

But the Rather Stand-Offish:
At times slippery like  Fish
Or like things one wouldn’t wish,
For example Leaf-Filled Dish
To be served Vegetarian 
Or Flesh to a Barbarian…

A Thief-Catching Librarian
And Confirmed...

say
ahh
danish
you say
excuse me miss
we have seemed
to have lost our kiss
ahh yes

beyond me
how this happens
your eyes have stunned me
as if to say your heart called me
what time is this that we have known
until now has there ever really been time

the cup, a sip away,
just out of reach,
as i taste
all your poetry —
like sweet danish
to my caffeinated morning.

the cup, just out of reach,

the lovely confections

the mug’s handle,
but like a cloud
i drift.

finally, i take...

What he wants not that he is overly interested
is to be sure that no other country places
 bases on Greenland’s still-cold soil like...

Subjects can their Bad Kings banish:
Their Lords that image tarnish 
By being decisive and mannish 
While proving them a clannish 
After bribing schnapps of the Danish 
And deceiving wine the Spanish!

Subjects must the details furnish 
Of the wrongs by Monarchs to banish 
And if they...

Today we visited the Farmer’s market in Ballard.
It was a beautiful sight to see…
Booths that stretched for two whole blocks….managed by people of all diversities…

On our way to the Farmer’s market…

we happened upon one of Thomas...
