Best Mint Poems

Beautiful bush called tango hummingbird mint
Glows a fiery blue with oranges in a glint,
Hummingbirds, honey bees, butterflies too,
Love this plant with the orange and the blue.

I have been trying to buy these bushes for a while.
I am always polite and use my best smile.
I call...

The thought of meeting the love of your life

Can cause you to lose your cool

Stumbling over words and fidgeting about

Just like a boy out of school

It's a common reaction, it happens all over

We're all just following the rules

That surely were laid down many years ago

But...

Mint, peppermint, Cool Mint, badminton. . . . 
But that's not what I meant. 
You still don't know what I meant? 
Then I'll give you a hint. 
There's a famous guy named Clint. 
Yes, his family name is Eastwood. 
As an actor, he's sharp as...

I have Smelly Armpits and
Bursting to Go
but; I'm heading to the supermarket
the condiments aisle 
I meet my neighbour
like conversing with a 
pigeon
give me the full recipe 
he says
he has arm wrestling
intelligence - 
but how to get out of it
unsex me now
come, thick night
he talks about...

Thunder and green mint
The forest so lust I can taste 
the tea from here. The rain hits 
the roof as I hear the cats purr, 
I lay on my bed starring out my 
window wishing you were here 
by my side watching it with me....

PEPPER-MINT

P-etite puppy, we missed you this Easter!
E-specially my nephew - who knew you since he was two.
P-erhaps you sent us doggy kisses from the rainbow bridge.
E-ven a bathroom door that I didn’t have to close, and no visible sound
R-eminds me of you. Pepper we all...

We are hanging hams, are we
in cellars off the coastal sea
licked by Mediterranean breeze

or foot-smashed grapes in Tuscany
afloat in oaken barrels, we
as flavors gain complexity.

Everyone is clever, everyone is bright
We are salt and we are light

We're the craft of chocolatiers
(from Switzerland with warm
hands on cold...

A little question for the U.S. Mint, how do you decide which President to print?
Which Presidential portrait fits best on the money?
Why did you put President Jackson's face on the $20?
If Abraham Lincoln was our best President, why is
he only on the $5's that we've...

Penelope could touch her toes
And quickly would assume that pose
But everyone knows
It isn't her toes
That beckons to so many beaux!...

I need  just before dawn to feel the slopes, love them,
The smell of mint or anise, gentian or orange,
I need to walk to look for ghosts, invisible ones
My parents gone, my wife with quiet kisses,

I need this time away from the sleeping cities,
To find...

He was walking,
as he often did,
out back by the patch of peppermint
he'd planted
at the edge of the grass,
a low hedge against the weeds,
the dark a canopy
over the hill,
one of many,
suddedn and high
like Indian mounds,
there in southwestern Pennsylvania,
no stars in a moonless sky,
no holes to let...

In floral perfume,
nectar gnawing bees who buzz and hum,
honeypots abound as maple syrup magnets flit and taunt,
garlands of magnolia upon the beechwood trellis,
lavender’s light purple trail a mint leaf tract from Cape Verde to Southwest Asia.
Lilac buds perspire on lambs skin swathes,
a misty bleat and...

From the Whopper Balls.

The Salt Kiss on the Heath,
No mint’s on the bed....
