Best Fried Poems

On the pan she cracks on the edges
Flows in her white gold love rashes;
Wet to oil, bottoms turn up in fumes
Sigh, sizzles to burns in her top cues.
 
Hot as roasted, spiced in cheekiness,
Crusts within the silky ceramic lust:
Fingers feel cling to the push shove
Tongue...

You start with a small pumpkin.
Clean it, cut in cubes,
Fry with bacon and onions
A little butter.
Add salt and pepper
Till tender
Sigh!

Today if I'm anxious I will listen to the wind.

I will hear the birds calling one another or just chirping to be heard.

I will look around me and describe the brown tree with green moss on its side.

The cinder block grey and a leaf inside.

Are we dying to get a taste of the American Dream that we've got fat and glutinous, deep fried in greed.
Are we dying to feast on a God given intervention, with gnarled hands waiting to connect with the customer service extension.

from the musical Wizard of Oz ]


If you’ve not had fried gizzard,
you’ve never had southern at all.
The same is true of chicken-fried steak
or vinegar-based cole slaw.
If you’ve never tried hot zucchini bread,
banana pudding, pimento spread,
okra,...

Mr. Phiburn, a man who had tried
To live not by the truth, but all lies
No surprise where he went
For him, eternity was spent
Wearing pants that were
Very well fried.

Inspired by: “Liar, liar pants on fire”...

Durin' my nearly four-score years I've had many a grand repast,
But there's one delicacy that will never, ever be surpassed!
There ain't nothin' like a huge helpin' of luscious fried chicken!
Ah, just thinkin' about it makes my pulse begin to quicken!

Mom was an expert at preparin'...

give me some fried chicken,
as greasy as grease can be;
with fried taters on the side,
who's worried about fat free?!

give me a breast of chicken,
cooked in gran'ma's lard;
make sure that bird's extra crusty,
'cause i like my chicken hard!

bring on the jalapenos,
so hot i can hardly speak;
now...

Two of my favorite things in the whole wide world.
Nothing could be better to this old country girl.
My idea of a perfectly euphoric day;
New socks neath my table and fried taters on my plate.

If I had the means, I'd buy new socks each day,
and with...

"Fried Green Tomatoes"
Has a scene, where....star

Non-aggressive, quiet

Times, before our
Eyes, To Wander
She loudly screams

When she says
I'm older
Insurance

Driving a country road quite casually,
A veterinarian never expected to see
A chicken ranch, lush and serene; 
But instead of two legs, 
All the chickens had three.

When he saw the gate,
He had no will of his own;
After all, in the realm of science,
Chickens with three legs
Were...
