Best Gelatine Poems

While all night queens carve figurines in gelatine and jade,

Behind a door and on the floor a deal is finally made;

A painted girl with flaxen curl has plied again her trade

And now the care within her stare has turned a darker shade.

Her lack of guile...

A sodden dreg with wooden leg is dancing for a dime,

to sacred psalms and other balms, all ticking with the time.

He’s 22, he’s almost through, he’s melted in his prime,

his bane is firm, the canker worm dissolves his brain to slime.

With slanted scales and twisted...

(How Dare!)

Hate and jealousy have no dimensions
Calm I appeared for none to suspect
A nuclear bomb had blasted me apart
The adrenalin had evaporated 
My eyes were like veiled magnesium balls
My nostrils were polluted with the air of jealousy
My heart inflated and deflated like a lost gas...

When I receive old magazines the first thing I seek as I flip through the pages, I find
Are the advertisements that bring to my mind the brands, fads, and trends that found favor in bygone times.

But now their days of popular appeal are but a...

My husband is naughty a very naughty man
He throws down the newspaper on top of his beer can
He buys himself a sandwich in a cardboard box
And puts it in the laundry with his woollen socks.

He takes off his pyjamas and chucks them on the floor
He...

She sits by a dying hearth, an album open in her lap
The cold silent room startles like a slap
Mouldy images stare back from the past
Prints are all she has now
Memories that still cling
To the old Silverfish ravaged photographs
Like slips pegged to a line, flailing in...

Attracted by the different hues in glass bottles 
                          My little daughter saw them lined on dad's table

BAKED ALASKA GRINNED THROUGH THE SNOWY WINDOW,     
CREPE-SUZETTE NICELY SAT ITSELF ON A FANCY PLATE BELOW,
NEW YORK CHEESECAKE WAS FIT AND STRAIGHT FROM QUEENS,
STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING CLUNG ITSELF WHATEVER THAT MEANS.
   
THE LADY CHEF WITH THE COOKING CAP WRESTLED...

An oyster can go very fast attached to a piece of string. But a ping pong ball in a car can drive over a sealed jar many many times. Now raise a glass to a glazed grass cake for grass cakes are neither grass snakes...

And these open spaces 
fill these empty faces
Although they remain unwanted
Forcing it down on me
The river runs wide
Into narrow streams
Leaves fading down
cutting the world like a gelatine

Leaves breaking the silence
Leaving it's mother to arise
Instead plummeting to earth
Floating only to become wet
Drifting into a mystery
Drowning with...

Pine Seed

Don't forget
it's clay
that learned how to
soak itself and wrap
in gelatine.
It opened
secret compartments
in it's glue
to do its
quiet, private
oozes....

The kissed words hung, the suddenly dropped;
The bombshell landed, the beseiged heart stopped,
The halted breath in th winded lung,
The senses numbed until they stung,
The splintering pain of the shattering knock,
The quivering, shivering, shuddering shock,
The boiling, roiling rock in the gut,
The ties that bind irrevocably cut,
The...

Golden retriever energy

from a human marshmallow

Squidgy, and layers of softness

So sickly, it’s yellow

Push me and shape me

Gelatine-free

and never fully set

I long for warmth and comfort

Never opaque

Vulnerable, in my mellow

My eyes, a book to be read

Transparent, in my lack of mystery

Terrified by streams of novels

On each...

Hanging Queen.
The killer Queen's serpentine glean
Like a field of sunflowers:
Smell of gunpowder filled with gelatine.

Medicine and melancholy, wound-filled barley.
Bloodbound fairground, glassware drowned.
Lovely scent oils, from mouth of poison gas,
Rise brightly, scream, and vaporize.

Advise, lullabies that paralyze, frozen in time.
Drinks with lime, sip of crime, all...
