Best Sweet Corn Poems

As the sun arose in the eastern skies 
a fairy princess sits rubbing her eyes.
Yawning she glimpses her magical isle 
and her tiny lips, curl into a smile.

Standing she stretches in her treetop bed,
anxious anticipates what lies ahead.
She flutters her wings to get them ready,
raising...

Yesterday’s sweet corn
     now rests among the shucked,
          where norms’ victims lay.

Side-by-side in rusty silos,
     awaiting the gristmill;
          dull...

July Fog

Fog
Slinks in,
Cloaks dawn’s smile
In July gloom
With platinum gauze ~
A foggy summer breath
Glistens on rows of sweet corn,
Kisses the vegetable garden,
As crickets chirp and bumblebees hum
In misty tunes of foghorn rhapsodies....

Sweet peas,
Sweet corn,
Sweet the clue,
That does adorn,
The sweetest thing
I've ever seen,
Since I was born...

Like "Casablanca"
Embracing at an airport,
But not for "Goodbye"
But here to "court"

No way, but 
A short while ago,
Would I ever,
Dare to believe,
This could ever be so...

Life carries some surprises,
Some are awful sweet,
Not every...

So here's my big insight.
My two cents worth,
which will remain worth only a penny
unless it somehow aligns with your penny
for thoughts and shared feelings.

What if we put our human nature genie 
back in Earth's home-nature bottle?

OK, already I hear Fundamentalists about the great transcendent Sacred...

Jollof rice is honey comb,
Green pea and  sweet corn ,
Eye appealing, wife of tongue;
Its roasted drumstick:
Lord of every plate;
Jolly rice,
Taste!...

"Sweet" applies to all five senses!
At least, I think it might!
Like new-born babies and puppies,
are pleasing to our "sight".

"Sweet" Talk and "Sweet" Mellow Music,
are pleasant to our "ear"!
"Sweet" Corn and "Sweet" Potatoes,
tempt our "taste" buds, have no fear!

"Sweet" William, "Sweet" Pea and "Sweet" Brier,
get our...

Ma issued a decree that Pa received with very little ardor:
"A vegetable garden is needed to supplement our meager larder!"
Pa would rather spend his leisure time snoozing on the couch,
But he allowed he'd better get to work to appease the dear old grouch!

Pa hadn't been...

coffee best describes
papa joe's essence for me

fertilizer stink
paternal grandaddy smell
famous tomatoes

noxzema only 
for miss toby before bed
shakey hands slicked up

but then grandmama
whew! peach cobbler first of all
sweet corn, pot roast, ham

oh man, those fried pies
blackberry and peach goodness
beautiful mem'ry...

There once were three magical pigs.
They were neighbors that danced the jig.
The wolf in the valley
Sometimes walked down their alley.
He was hungry for one of those pigs!

Pig-one lived in a house made of straw.
He looked at his walls with great awe.
At night he would nibble
His...

Generally you are like sweet corn soup,
But at times you are hot n sour soup,

Your cheeks are red as cherry tomato,
Your hands are soft as mashed potato,

You are spicy as chicken-fry,
You are sweet as apple-pie,

It seems you are my complete meal,
Which no one can dare...

Butters Drippin’ From My Ears

Summer’s mostly over
I’ve not once mentioned Iowa corn.
It’s the symbol of the state
In which this rhymer’s born.

There are other places
That grows passable “sweet” corn.
I’ve eaten several others
But my druthers always torn.

In dead of winters dreary days
And it’s all the markets got
That...
