Best Soul Food Poems

Bagels and baguettes
Bap or fried bake,
The fruits of the flour
are easy to make

Chollah, chapatti, 
Cinnamon bun.
These global delights,
make eating such fun.

Filled with Caribbean sweet meat
like Guava jam,
Scottish smoked salmon; 
Or Danish roast ham.

Add a fresh fruit salad,
Some sparkling wine,
A candle, red roses and  
you’re...

Otis was once a monk 
who took no vows, was
free to leave the abbey 
and eventually he did.  
I met him over chicken wings 
at Sadie's Soul Food Grill.

every spring and summer
Otis labored in the fields
raising vegetables 
and crops of every...

Swallowing starlight, thirsting 
on ether that roars through 
the cosmos as fine, icy fire.

Nibbling moon-dust, gobbling
comets that streak through the
heavens from heaven knows where.

that are forever ancient and new....

The taste of passion drips down a paintbrush,
Stroke after stroke with emotion in each drop.
A story told without words,
Is one to be ravished.
Can you feel it?
The change of heart within each pigment.
Fighting between love and hate,
Deciphering the symbols against a stigma.
Do not question creativity.
Question what...

I thank you, God,
For morning tea
and butter buns,
oven fresh.

They satisfy
my body, Lord,
But I am more
than flesh.

Fill me with
Your Holy Spirit,
and quench my
thirsty Soul,

with nectar from
Your fruit tree, Lord,
My heart's Your
hallow bowl....

Rob Brezsny reports
In 2004, San Rafael hosted a World Conference of Soul-Making
resulting in three schools for best practices,
to which I will add one more.

"The Ruminators
theorized that humans are born without souls
and can create them only through arduous,
disciplined rebellion against all belief systems.

The Resonators
