Best Spice Poems
In evening eyes an ember’s gleam I see
emotions ripple from your depths and spread
across your surface known to be glassy
are ripened waves of passion crashing red
Now crocus of your crave in bloom and flare
on bed of saffron petals - spice we seize
in festival of lust on my skin bare
a thousand tingles mingle pleasures tease
Your lips brush mine with strawberry caress
then kiss me deep your tongue unties my lace
I open up to you and your finesse
we toast with our champagne in love’s embrace
As ravishment reflects epiphany
amour I see through rosy tiffany

Spicy experiment!
Victoria secret bra
Love, toy with hidden pleasure
sweet surrender to my taste
grenade ecstasy.

Spicy taboo!
Sticky forbidden kisses
buffalo breath down my neck
leak like a water faucet
time to get a fix.

Humdinger Spice Apple Pie
Yesterday I baked a humdinger spice apple pie
Then my daughter called said she’d stop and give it a try
She was smacking her lips
Couldn’t take any tips
She told me I’m the queen of all the best apple pies.

pumpkin spice coffee
or mulled hot apple cider
october magic
pecan pie muffins
cinnamon hot chocolate
as the red leaves fall
white november days
eggnog in the afternoon
sledding at twilight
december teatime
a fruitcake on the table
and cardinals sing
I still savor the thought of the zest that I caught
When you joined us that night after school.
Tara figured out why, since she’s so sage and sly;
She left early to show it was cool.
With her sis Tara-gon, Ginger sighed with a yawn,
“My, it’s late!” to clue in that nut-Meg.
“Would you look at the thyme!” came the reechoed chime,
With a wink from Corey-ander pal Peg.
Well, I felt like a god, though it seemed somewhat odd
That they all should jus’ curry, but hey,
When you gave me a smile as we two walked a while,
It dissolved my perplexed caraway.
In this teenagey bliss, I leaned in for a kiss,
Little knowing what I was against:
You demurred in a trice, “Though hot pepper is nice,
I insist that it’s parsley dispensed.”
With a panicky cast, I apologized fast
In my chili confusion and dread,
But I saw your eyes light, and we had a nice night
Holding hands at the cinnamon stead.

You pour sugar,
I'll mix the spice;
So hot n' snazzy!
You bump and
I'll grind undercover,
So deep n' wild cherry
Sweat.
Not even whips; nor
Chains can break the
Tread.
Faster; faster don't
Loose the tricks baby,
Drive it in high voltage
Shock...Overdrive!!!
For you are my conductor
Of this sugar n' spice love,
Train chew choo!!!
Keep it comin, the heat
Rises as you pull out:
Cause we're the team that
knocks it out of the ball
Park together like: SUGAR N'
SPICE!!!! Tap... Tap...
The 1965 Chevy Impala with aqua dice
parked herself downhill against all advice
From Frankie, Old Tom, Red Angus and Swanee Bryce
Her wheels slipped on gravel that felt like hardened rice
Her green interior smelled like Old Spice
Her engine was infiltrated by squeaky hungry mice
Some main wires under her hood now have a splice
Her ignition key did not work once or twice
We could not sell her at any price
But we loved the smell of nineteen sixties Old Spice
For it reminds me of my Uncle Pete, dad of cousin Bryce
So I am keeping her forever, which feels kind of nice.
"One with Spice"
Flow write a scene to be seen essence
grow in a dream in fields of gold and SOL
Flows... Spice write flight though Knight's
bright light and be. Write Sees. You.
Jewel of Arrakis. Flower not brackish
in the fresh of the Spice, yes... it is nice.
Desert Rose in the nose vision flows
with sense in The Pen's essence yes.
Melange the aware bright orange in air
and sand in the hands aware of the song
Band beats in a tune sweet plants in sun
Dunes of the Gods Wind chimes.
Rhyme. New planets seen in the beam
of the mind bright Light's sight in the Spice
Dream.Writes from a Soul to be seen.
Fluorescence the color of Poetry.
In a sense...Sensitivity and specificity
Beat of the Binary, originality. Recall it
and flow with a Write to Spike it.
Flow.Spice.Write and so Be It.
What is that glow near yonder red leaf.
near a willow still sharing grief?
A gem, perhaps, or sunbeam
with drops of cinnamon.
I won't hazard guess,
but I confess
topaz gems
are nice
spice!

What I enjoy might very well be
Something you despise.
The things that light me up may be
Unpleasant to your eyes.
But that’s what makes the world go round;
Variety’s the spice.
What you find unappealing
Could, to me, be paradise.
There are no rights or wrongs when you
Account for someone’s taste.
Endeavors at persuasion,
In most cases, are a waste.
It’s best for all to nod our heads,
Accepting as a fact
That what one finds repellent
May another thus attract.

A loving family that cherishes the universality of you.
An addenda are friends, who accept you as you are.
Seeing you as complete, not a cracked,cookie jar.
God is, to you, One, the Creator of life and Universe..
You do not live in Faux City, overcome by hopeless vanity.
You simply write to communicate the true you, to humanity.
Poem 4
“In My Own Voice’
Pumpkin pies, cinnamon rolls, chili
Succulent smells that entice me
My nose gladly leads the way
I have a small helping
Not fooling myself
Just three more bites
Satisfies
Others
More!
Pumpkin spice and everything nice,
October brings the heart autumn wings,
This gentle peace is God’s masterpiece,
Lifting the heartstrings with the love He brings,
Silencing the evil stings with grace that truly sings!
the spice in your...
life comes from the...
ingredients that you use...
In the Fall we are flooded with all things that are Pumpkin Spice.
Some are just plain weird, and not so nice.
Many we wait for all year, like the café latte, which is delicious.
But Pumpkin Spice in my Hershey’s kisses makes me suspicious.
The Pumpkin Spice beer I would definitely steer clear.
Twinkies in Pumpkin Spice is so wrong… I would not go near.
The Pumpkin Spice Oreos and Doritos make me shudder.
When I see Pumpkin Spice toothpaste and Listerine I say, “Oh brother!”
People have become obsessed with the Pumpkin Spice flavor.
It gives us a warm, fuzzy feeling that we savor.
The Pumpkin Spice craze borders on the bizarre.
But the Pumpkin Spice pie is the best thing by far.
