Best Serve Up Poems

if my love for you was any greater
the trees would  line up in poetic forms
...awe you in sonnets written...
...part...to allow winds to cool your face...
 to trace it with nature’s hand.

all the oxygen that covers all the waters rise,
supercharge the breadth of my emotion.

Manage your Stress … a peeling faded poster boldly declares 
I do get it about advertising campaigns. 
Enough to know that,
‘strategically placed ads’ catching the eye, is huge. 
But this poster has seen better days ~
There’s nothing that screams out anymore.
So...

Poets here have got a lot
Of soups that they can sup:
Elegy and etheree, epulaeryu served hot;
Tanka, haiku, dodoitsu -Asian broths served in a cup.
Rhyme here is a regular favor.
Free verse also we can savor.

Sonnet is a classic some serve up with ease
On our menu, many...

This is the story of mad Molly Shaw
She might be mad now but she wasn’t before
she came home to find her man dead on the floor
She lay down her bible and let out a roar 

She walked into town with her hair in a mess
Fresh...

don't let our coupling bodies
be the uncoupling of souls
don't let what's tried and true
then attempt to fan the coals

perfunctory caresses
meant to bring desired gain
when not infused with love
will only serve up pain

don't kiss with bated fervor
just to tick it off the list
then whisper well known...

A banana split can be a work of art.
With the fruit cut lengthwise in half is where we start.
Three scoops of our favorite ice cream go on top.
Whatever flavor, use the cream of the crop.
On each scoop go toppings of pineapple, chocolate, and strawberry.
Above that...

Why the long face, son? Did someone die?
   Aw, Dad.  I flunked my math exam
Did you do your level best, son?
   I did, Dad.  I studied so hard for the test
You know that's all I ask of you, son...

She managed to Serve up a lovely Verse
 Turning beautiful words into gems
 From deep within these words did stem
 Poets proudly pen precious poems.

I want to write a thing or two about racism 
A current problem causing quite a schism 
Perhaps it could be seen through another prism 
Outside the jaundiced lenses of current activism. 

My thoughts are my own, not influenced by race, 
I try not to...

Born American, sixth generation of great-grands all German,
not much liking sausage or sauerkraut, English speaking all the way,

except the Germany of my ancestry was fought over and broken
so I’m a bit of France, Germany, Poland, Hungary all the Holy

Roman empire, dissolved down, fought over, egotized,...

This Club Med lagoon really holds the heat,
with a beach front view and a coral suite.
But the best of all
as we watch it fall
is how they serve up each meal on a sheet!...

I always reckoned I could cook, great tucker for me need,
yet the kids and missus turn their heads, when I serve up a feed.
Now the wife has joined weight watchers! She reckons she’s obese, 
so she won’t cook a single thing with sugar, salt or...

"A Cook" has a family to feed now
And food in the "Refrigerated" space is low
"Empty' is the panty but garden endows
So she visits "The Garden" lain in rows

Outside the garden gate she takes "A Pause"
Just a moment in time to God says "Thanks"
Before "The Morning...
