Best Peppery Poems

Scorpion sting is more painful
than the venom of a snake;
headache,cold,fever coupled
with peppery feelings.

On lifting the old wet brick,
It moves swiftly to 'bite me',
Scorpionegge sensation flows
through my vein to Gwen.

Give the people what they want,
let them have it   quickly
The pot is on the boil,
hissing steam 
Desires of an improper seethe

Angry thoughts on a roil,
the patience of diligence dissipating
Hurriedly, they the cast the peppery vote
For they all savor a king:
they alova his sweet,...

Scarlet lips susurrous softly,
amid quiescence of dusk
bequeath beamily beguin beats 
within our sumptuous souls.
As grace echoes in crimson,
tears trickle toward titillating face 
vital words are shared in embrace, 
eliciting a...

To The North Pole Of Course  (Part Two)  
 
The farmlands, bridges and countrysides woosh by in a rush 
then vanish before my eyes at a hundred and twenty six miles per hour.
 My mind is traveling at the speed of Donner and...

“Now behind the eyes and secrets of the dreamers in the streets rocked to sleep by the sea, see the titbits and topsyturvies, bobs and buttontops, bags and bones, ash and rind and dandruff and nailparings, saliva and snowflakes and moulted feathers of dreams, the...

Ode to Odd

Hail strangeness in all its many ways.
Its peppery and spices boring days.

A different mold was used for each of us.
Variation going on without the fuss.

We are balanced by a single inner thread,
to keep on doing the norm our culture bred.

What joy!  to...

"A Duel"
By Rachel Heffington

Long ago in a valley green,
Where a thriving hamlet once had been
Was a rubb-ly castle, hidden well
By maples tall, in a shady dell.
The penants, fluttery once, and gay,
Now hung in shreds- a faded gray;
The tower was crumbly, the dias leaked,
And in the...

Softly dressed in a black top to hinge 
Brown chinos skirt and beige watch 
Hair resplendent in curly full fringe 
With cute accessories to match 

Her voice rings out in a velvety tone 
“Obim oh, am gonna love you” 
Heart filled with sweetness so prone...

1. They said the meeting point
between your traits and swagger
has dislocated 
and your newly acquired awful image
is beyond reversal.
But hey! I do not fall for obscurantism
on your honor, my senses are on sentry duty
even when peers run amok cos of you.
loving you has become my...

I guess I'm at that point when a few 
things seem to make sense
Thankfully I don't seem to be alone in 
this case
Normally i can analyze how i feel or 
what the situation might mean but....
Right now I'm clueless because even 
those who went throught...

Midst exciting functional cooking session
provoking strong eating urges’ passion
my appetite strides for flavorful progression
brave to defy menus’ farting repercussion.

There’s sizzling pride in hot arrogance, deeply fried
buttered selfishness floats atop oil, dairy-fied
turmeric-colored hypocrisy becomes chillified
all oozing with toxic apathy, nonchalantly garlickied.

Then, smoothie doubt shimmers along unbelief’s...

You’ll do it yourself – the day after the doctor 
said, “no heavy lifting.” And your husband 
(dreaming again) insisted on a patriarchal turkey 
like you always used to have, when he’d 
handle the fowl part of Thanksgiving. 
You fixed side-dishes; but cooking giblets, 
stuffing...

Rain storm 

Twas spectacular, storm of summer storms 
natures animosity, and fury 
Peppery grey clouds soberly transforms 
glorious day into horror story, 
silver spears pelted earth in such glory 
illuminated electrified arc 
horizon to horizon, sight blurry 
mist from evaporation, must embark 
Create pure place...
