Best Peas Poems

The sensitive strokes of Georgia O'Keeffe's brush
have aroused in sweet pea petals, a tender pink blush
In these ruffled labian folds, painted as a fragile flower
buds beget blooms in their feminine garden bower

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...

They are two peas in a pod....this pair having fun
I can't help but smile, as I sit on the steps
by the old front porch, watching them romp
on the cool green grass, in the warm winter sun

This sunny little boy, with the gold in his hair
And...

Baby doesn't like the 'peases'.
She spits them out, as she pleases.
I still have that childish vice
But spitting peas isn't nice.

Avoiding them is hard to do.
They're in the pot pie and the stew.
So, I pick them out one by one
But pea-picking is not fun.

Give me a...

Purple people eaters pursuing purple peas,
Paraphernalia progressing toward a purple please,
Amethyst bedding, purple clothes, and platform shoes,
Purple violets promoting purple woodland hues,

Purple is out there in polka dots and stripes,
Chomping on some boxers, and purple baby wipes.
Amethyst pins, on purple fuzzy faux fur coats,
Purple veins,...

Nigh on sixty years ago this Yankee from the State of Indiana,
Wed a lovely Confederate lass from the State of Louisiana!
I thought I knew her pretty well by the time our vows were read,
But there was a New Years Day secret that she had left...

Two peas in a pod?
My April and me?
No, not at all,
I would not agree

She is all sunshine
laughter and light
I’m shrouded in darkness
too much like the night

She is artistic, outgoing
well read,
I’m the quiet, shy
redhead

But no matter what
 my sister and me,
on one thing,
we’ll always agree

Our friendship...

We were a trio, three peas in a pod
These days our encounters seem a bit odd
   Trying times came and left me solo
Fertilizer for their friendship to grow

   Reunited and feels so good
But things feel a bit different than they should

two people together
they  are so much alike
they like the same kind of  things
like swimming or  riding a bike
they share a closeness that's so  special
and rare
 when they out together others carn't help but look and stare
they fit together so well
they go...

I’m going to freeze
If I don’t eat Black-eyed peas
On New Year’s Day

you met each other at turning points in your lives
many would call that destiny
you'd found out you both had so much in common
you then entered into matrimony
you were both from modest means
but the most important thing
is that you both had a shared love for God

Stealing Peas

all summer, warm-hot and lazy,
the garden grew taller, so much taller 
than me. wondered where it came from 
all that green life.

I helped papa plant the seeds
my finger deep into the brown 
cool soil it smelled like safety,
home. it tasted like strength.

seeds are so...

We’ll be
together again – I
assure you! I’m sure
of it from the
bottom of my
almost-broken heart!
Just keep in mind
that we will stumble
into obstacles and
we must fight
together to win this
time around! We need
to work as a
terrific,
totally-prepared
team, letting out
fired-up, fervor
fuel and confident
steam at the same
time – sweet! I just
wanna...

A newly-wed couple entered a coffee shop
Spent an hour to relax

Having a different nationality with something to drop
Green peas after wedding, they sprinkled everywhere without flax

A sign of good luck, they said
For each and everyone still unwed.

Seated inside the said coffee shop
I was euphoric with...

Lately I have lost my usually healthy appetite.
My taste buds have gone on vacation, and fail to excite.
Hamburgers, chicken, and seafood leave me cold.
Maybe it’s my menu that has grown old.
 
I step on the scales thinking surely I have lost weight,
But it stubbornly remains...
