Best Rolls Poems

The Thunder Rolls

the sultry June afternoon drips with sweat
as the impending tempest approaches
the sun struggles for its last breath of light
and an eerie stillness hangs in the air
the prairie denizens have all taken shelter
as ominous slate grey clouds rumble
across the plains from the southwest
like clouds...

Thunder rolls on the rails of morning
frightening the cat, curdling the cow’s milk
sudden, sullen rip roaring.
Released from its governor, it rattles man,
shaking the frail panes of his existence.
Jagged skyward shards spark, as the storm
wheels over the harrowed rye field,
splitting the magnolia tree from crown to...

My cheesy pizza rolls 
Only you know 
About my love 
When i put on my glove
To take you out of 
That oven's steel fortress
Because you are hot 
I know i'm not
Going to burn my tongue 
Because i am still young
And i like my taste buds
So...

I like my lies the way my mother used to make them. Wrapped up in spring roll pastry and thrown into the fryer. Served on a plate to a child who had nothing else to eat, so I’d believe her. Every time she said she...

When the fog rolls in again
and the clock strikes three plus ten,
uniforms on medals pinned,
phantoms twisting in the wind.

Phantoms twisting in the wind,
those who let the demons in
see the truth with cold chagrin,
stand and face your mortal sin.

Stand and face your mortal sin,
thus the healing...

Just wish in this lonely moment of time
I could hold and hug you right now dearest

Taking you love under my wings floating into another world 
Where smiles they dance with joy inside such a blessing gift

Having you sweet for-get-me-not's draws happy visions 
where the sunshine...

Eel or salmon sushi rolls
Nori or rice wrapped 
Served as roll or hand roll shapes 
Eaten with chopsticks 
Served with wasabi
And gari

The fog rolls in surrounding me,
My hand before me, I barely see.
A heaviness as moisture clings to the air,
Ghost like shadows from trees that are bare.

I walk forward I don’t want to look back,
I grab a new card from off of the stack.
I think of...

Einstein Rolls the Dice

the paparazzi were all over Einstein
after he said make sure where the rope leads
before you kick over the chair
he wrote his own scripts now
Further Adventures in Archaeo-astronomy
tonight the constellation Vertigo
a place of no equilibrium
a hell of uterine contractions
even though his head was...

Cabbage rolls wrapped in green leaves

ingredients tight

Chinese egg rolls are yummy yum yum 
With heaps of that sweet sauce they call plum
Asian I'm not
But sure am caught
In their grasp, to their deliciousness I succumb...

The Baker’s had plenty of lovin’
Months later there’s one in the oven
With more mouths to feed
It’s more than they need
To go with their Baker’s dozen

Dusk finally breaks
so we assert ourselves with ecstasy
and weed.
We claim omnipotence in pills and
crystals, whose uneven facets
reflect our fractured souls
shone through the darks of our 
eyes.
Whose catalyst propels our
transmission down highways of
perfect pavement and engraves
narcotic hieroglyphs, 
gashing chasms eventually.
The bittersweet glitter in matrix
with potentiations of...

Softly the gentle summer winds blow
across the wheat fields golden hues,
the tassels swaying rhythmically as if
dancing to an olden tune

the azure sky is beginning to fill
with marshmallow clouds puffy and white,
until the azure is no more
the gentle breeze, stronger now

those golden tassels are bending east
held...
