Best Flavors Poems


Premium Member Flavors of Her Essence
A woman's soul, is it as porous
as the air that breaks the water and earth
apart from each other?

In the slither of liquid contours,
this maiden's essence blows into tiny
glints of filling days’ silent pages
without having to fill in the blanks.
But such fire in her navel;
swelling, leaping forth unto a black dahlia
of night dripping with all the...

Nutty Flavors of Life
Life is like a nut,
Differs in shape, size, color or crust,
Life is like a nut.
For some, it’s like a coconut,
Beyond the reach, safe from gust
Very important, much privileged!
Whether unripen or matured.
For some it’s like a peanut,
Malleable, fit in budget 
Widely spread, versatile no doubt
However, down and out.
For some it’s like a walnut,
You can see the...

Flavors of Love
Love is like a Lollipop 
        you don't know what's inside until you taste it and describe

If it's Cherry,       you won't have to worry because he's always merry

Premium Member Flavors of a Canvas
Her canvas awaits the first scoop,
 She dips her brush in the soup
 Bouillabaisse caresses her canvas,
 Stirring the senses of her palate

 She dips her brush in yet
 As the stove heats up her palette,
 Painting the dawn sky
 With tints of butternut squash

 Split pea flavor colors the trees
 Minestrone sways the flower...

Premium Member Mixing Flavors of Soup
Slow- fire gleams upon a nearby field
as I  gather herbs from  twig-like strips
adding  creamy broth to stir the brew
under a  moonlight of summer’s heat … 
The mellow breeze warms  my  thoughts
where hands pour lemon mint, in a campfire
kindling  essence of  words for poetry soup:
then to  ...

Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, peppermint
    They all taste better than belly-button lint

     Apparently, my readers can't get enough...

Flavors of Naples
It's colder than snow
ready to soothe your palate
throughout the long day.


Three superb flavors,
taste them and dream of Naples
and of its colors.     


While eating this ice cream,  
explore that southern city
on the bluest shore....

Love In Different Flavors
When I love you I'd do anything for you
Give my all to you
Do anything you ask and more
So eventually you won't even need to ask at all

You say you love me
Do people love differently? They must.
Because I don't see much effort from you
Things that if I were in love I'd want to do
You've even gone...

The Flavors of Darkness
The Flavors of Darkness

The numbing blackness without cold or heat engulfs.
I float in calm brackish decaying still waters offering no struggle.
My lips taste its decomposing and dying matter. 
I should cough and gag on its foul disdainful taste.
Swallowing without thought I do not relish nor disdain it.

The raging river of inky waters flows around me....

Rich hot chocolate
marshmallows roast o’er the pit
gazing China moon
twinkling stars in midnight blue
laughter and snuggling galore!

Premium Member Bittersweet For Sourpuss
Remember when each of the tastes
bitter, sweet, sour, salty and umani,
had their own special place on your tongue?
When you could lick and flick a tongue tip
to savor one by one, 
each titillating and tantalizing tidbit,
and avoid the bitter, sour and salty, 
in the hors d'oeuvre samples and starters?
But turns out all the taste buds
of different...

Premium Member Flavors
My favorite painting-a special theme
A small bright colored truck that sells ice cream
How flavorless and pale its nature now seems
Its palette has faded for many a year
It speaks fatigued like an old man’s dream
Its vision has little euphony, no pleasure I fear

My fairytale is no longer eagerly read
The storyline seems all too common
The characters are...

Premium Member Flavors
So many flavors from which to choose
 A vanilla swirl dipped in blues,
 A scoop of chocolate to enthuse
 A dash of strawberry to infuse

 Rocky Road to smooth the palate
 Butter Pecan tastes great,
 Add a flavorful dream
 Of cookies and cream

 Neopolitan, flavors in triple
 Enjoy a bowl of raspberry Ripple
 Butter Scotch...

Savory Flavors
Savory flavors 

Tasting love,
sating a hungered palate
delicious desires served hot
Licked lips
of savory flavors
drenching me,
dripping from my chin
satisfying a desperate appetite

Sticky fingers
grasping delectable morsels
sans silverware
between sautéed folds 
tempting the tongue
Nectarous juices flow
in appetizing moans
as desert comes

And who says you shouldn’t 
play with your food

:)...
