     with an articulated motion.

They thrive on the ocean’s sea floor,
     from the sloping shoreline
to beyond the...

EDIBLE    MUSIC

Yellow sun hot like white onion
Cantaloupe moon
Sweet as butter briskets

Top Chef put edible flowers on my plate
I was totally distressed by the lilies fate.
I was disgusted by what he thought was great
Later he asked, “Is this why she never ate?”...

Daring one to on TV tell...

Nigerian Farmers for hell,
Their forests for now Tortoise Shell
Their bank account something to swell
Cool Six Zeroes they want to smell
But, at last, with Satan...

A cup of fruit taste good
When it comes from truth
A side of flour sifted 
Falls like a blanket drape in snow

Honeys good flavorful
Heart and lungs pump blood
We’re chosen for the celebration
Everyone is engaging
