Cherries Poems

Cherry Red

Cherries stain her fingers bright,
Deep and dark as midnight wine.
She pops them slow between her lips,
Her smile lazy, soft, divine.

The window's cracked to summer air,
The city sighing, fast asleep.
She smokes and laughs, her lashes low,
Her secrets folded warm and deep.

The cigarette burns slow and thin,
Forgotten in her careless hand;
I lean to kiss the cherry taste
And

cherries are for me
fresh picked or in a warm pie ~
red heaven awaits

Storekeepers scatter salmon cool as cherries

snaps cowgirl Indian boyfriend 
The sound of buffalo meat on her teeth,
Taste the smell of sleep,
Cannabis wafting,
Chew the diamond, steal the slipper,
Call the captain and skinny dipper.

 chasing visions
The moon bleeds through the window
The stars hum a song of youth.

Cherries

In Michigan, we have cherries.
Flavoring our whole state.

But the label says “Made in Michigan.”

Cheery Cherries

dawn’s
cheery
red cherries
by the bagful
cheek by jowl they munch
dangling the stem, spitting
out crunchy seeds (tooth breakers)
channelling the healing power
chalking up juicy rufescent bites
at dusk, couple’s cheering cerise cabernet

Chocolate Covered Cherries

Chocolate Covered Cherries
How ooey gooey good
Oh how I love the sweetness
Chocolate never tasted so good
Only one is not enough
Love them as I do
And I await them anxiously
Then buy and hoard a few
Eaten on the sly

Chocolate Covered Cherries
Only once a year
Venders put them on display
Enticing far and near
Really never see them
Except at Christmas time
Don't share the

Cherries Bright Red

Red cherries,
falling down darkly.
Crimson sun.

gilt bloom days not far behind,

Tempting and luscious 
sweet cherries ripe for picking

Redbird and Cherries

feasting in the trees
redbird with traces of gold
in crimson sunset

the song is waiting
for a moonlight appearance
white rose drifting clouds

scarlet cherry hues
as mellow day is dying
flamingos dancing

jade frog is croaking
into a burgundy night
forest green tree bliss
