Cukes Poems | Examples


Salad

We always ate salad when I was a kid,
With lettuce and carrots and cukes
And also tomatoes and olives at times
But today, that would bring some rebukes.

For the lettuce was iceberg, which I never buy,
Though we didn’t have choices back then
Or perhaps that’s the kind that my mother preferred,
So she bought it again and again.

I now buy arugula, sometimes romaine 
Or a mixture of various kinds
Of colorful lettuces, common today,
Just like spinach, as grocery finds.

I still add tomatoes and carrots and, too,
Things like peppers and sugar snap peas,
But the lettuce will never be iceberg because 
My mother’s not here to appease.

Playdirt

when things are springing and
i'm diggin' into a lively summer
and the sun's downing the day
and the earth's warm with love

i play, i dig, i dream
i work, then play some more
i pluck, and turn, and wet
my appetite for life

retiring to repast
i pull my digits to 
a pentagon point and
inhale - deeply the scents
from under fingernails

a loamy tanged radish
relishing heritage cukes
meeting bliss of better boys
better days, even now
a botany so lustful,
and good moaning too

soon the cooling solstice
will fallow your terra 
but now, your swelling,
your musky fragrance
brings ****** of appreciation
and appetite for even more

to wish to share it
the sheerness of light
the fragrant breeze inhales
the sense of scents
and a budding lingual taste
- the dirt of desire

Planting By the Moon

cukes finding trellis
edemame has some blooms
green peas pushing through

pulled the scotch bonnet
no space for non- production
chickens love the scrap

salad needs thinned out
bugs didn't get all the kale
mighty spinach grows

using recipe 
as prescribed once a week and 
buds n blooms monthly

3 kinds of cabbage
rainbows colors of Swiss chard
planted by the moon

Salad Toss

the cukes were cool
while carrots saw clear
the coming assault
of asparagus spears
red peppers hot tempered
tomatoes were thrown
and the onions sat crying-
LETTUCE ALONE!*

it is what it is gang!
