Best Gobbles Poems

There you are being conceived in your mother's womb. 
Before you know it you will be born in this world 
real soon. 

As you develop; you start to move around. You take in 
your first food as your mom gobbles it down. 

Your ears start...

Along the baseboard in a small kitchen
there is a tiny hole, the perfect size to go
unnoticed, perfect for a secret hideaway.
Little twin girls imprisoned at the table
not allowed to leave unless those cold
olive green peas are completely gone!
Canned peas, that had a bit of the...

Sweet tooth
In youth

On scales
She WAILS!

Hot date
Lose weight

Diet?
Try it

Big eyes
Large thighs

Fat tum
Huge bum

Gobbles…
Wobbles

In mood
For food

Crunchies
Munchies

Wants choc -
Whole block!

Adore
Fridge door

Keeps shut
With butt

Risk it ...
Biscuit

Crispbread?
Drop dead!

Think thin
As pin

Eats less ...
New dress

Now slim
And trim

Look great
For date

Hey diddle diddle
We poets will fiddle
With poems that jump over the moon.
But sometimes we blunder
He still claps like thunder
And soon we are smiling a tune.

While he sits on his tuffet
and gobbles his sandwich
He brings a smile with each comment he makes
Collecting his wits,
With humorous bits

A snail has thousands of teeth
No wonder it is such a thief
It gobbles my plants
You should hear my rants
Slug pellets will give some relief!

I discovered from a quiz question that some species of snail can have over 25,000 teeth!

Wabi-Sabi

Empty the mirage of perfection
Whose shadow wears scars
Of perpetual broken rainbows –
Cracked rose petals –
Gilded edges joined by hibernation and spring.

A pilgrimage into amnesia
Timeworn victories fade into badges lost to time 
Moonlight swallows the waning heart of morning
Sunlight gobbles up unfinished faces...

A bird of grandiose stature, he struts the veld
do not anger him for his powerful kick
can main or even kill. Gently he watches
over his brood their mother left long ago.
It falls onto him to incubate their eggs.
  
Impressive wing span as he shades his...

Again the alarm is set.

Strawberries, date squares…Yum, Yum.

Mommy loves me more than laundry
More than dirty dishes too
She’d rather spend her time with me 
Than doing things others do

She would rather play with me 
Than take a nap or sew
I love Mommy ‘cause she loves me
More than any TV show

She’s always there to...

Sleep
To wait
for a dream
wonderous scenes
of piquant parfaits
with a blended relish
of creamy fruit and almonds
savoring and ready to eat
daunted by an ogre's appearance
who gobbles it down and awakens you

Swimming in the cold blanket of waters
Sea of the unheard and unknown surfers

Diving alone in the middle of raging tide
Gasping strong at the surface of surging waters so wide

Your winking eyes that flash in shimmy skies
My drifting heart floating with my steamy eyes

Your smiles shown...

You must decide,
Or by Kronos you must abide.
Hail the titan of time,
No, I must draw the line.

So I say he is evil,
Worse than the devil.
Leader of the titan's,
You really need to enlighten.

Holds the power of the scythe,
He thinks he can get a wife.
Can freeze time...

He likes an egg 
without a shell, cracked
by the careless act 
of a grocery store clerk.
There's always some jerk
who could make you sick
then read your obit
with a pained expression
as if that session
and consequence grim
had nothing to do 
with him.
The Og. loves 
spaghetti
is always ready
when you've...

Don’t trouble trouble until trouble gobbles you ; don’t

     regret her lack of fidelity for a...
