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...

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...

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

...

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 ...

Premium Member 31 Flavors' Got Nothing On Me
Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, peppermint
    They all taste better than belly-button lint

  Why do I write such nonsensical stuff
     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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

Premium Member Coffeene
Coffee, I adore thee,
somehow you never bore me.
Bold and dark or mild and smooth,
you get me up and on the move.

In warm embrace or cool frappe,
mocha, french roast, or tall latte,
crema, sospeso or con panna,
you never fail to make my day.

It’s the best thing ever...
