Delicatessen Poems | Examples


meat eaters

We meat eaters

In the café on the first floor of our building
The food served is cooked on the day
Sometimes they serve fish which I'm not a fan of but when I have picked out the ing bones
the fish tastes fine
They serve wonderful chicken that only a few days ago ran around not knowing they would 
Be lunch, but that’s life, we humans eat human flesh too when given a chance, living deep in the jungle and fried female **** are seen as 
A delicatessen only served to the chieftains who are the upper class in their world and no, if you
Ask, there is no beans on the toast

Holy Scars

A kiss left among the stars 
Longed for me 
My precious maze 
Windows shut 
I felt your gaze 
Wave have raised your blissful shore 
Seeing the world as you knew before 
God you lifted 
For you persisted 
Ready to defend 
All worthy friends 
Honored by plea 
You watered my tree 
Taste of delicatessen 
A worthy life lesson 
Lost treasuries 
You forgave all riveries
Adhered to confess 
To whom all that have been blessed


Modern Woman Model

To model she
         forced herself to salads,
         energetic products
         and gym
         To beautify herself,
         amounts of time,
          cosmetology ...
         To compensate,
         solitary abuses,
         stuffing
         of chocolates and
         delicatessen ,
         confectionery ... "

Silver Arrows, and Rickets

nonsense purity
polymer
a squeezing of something
out
a tri fold with scores
of plastic, so necessarily unfulfilled 
with pictorials
a social security card,
a card from the merchant marines
with a face
eleven dollars, a fiver
and six ones, 
and a diners card
weak elbows,
furrowing brow
the smell of a polish
delicatessen on
his breath
Oh come 
all ye faithfuls 
Mexico, Poland
Bolivia
He wears a 
Movado
Then craves
for bagels
with locks after
playing Polo

Peace!

The Blood of Jesus Removes Sin's Dark Stain

The Blood of Jesus Removes Sin’s Dark Stain!

Is there no shame in what many do?
You never know “what they’re up to!”

Many struggle with “sins of the past.”
They struggle for a freedom that’ll last!

So many habits people get involved doing!
In the end…  It’s them
who are losing!

With so many offers and many temptations…
People come to the table of 
“life’s delicatessen!

If “everyone’s doing it,”  
it doesn’t mean you have to!
God knows about your life and what you’re up to!

Jesus wants to be involved with your life today!
Where there’s a “struggle.” 
 HE will make a way!

He offers an abundant life!  Why not receive it!
True purpose and meaning…  You can achieve it!

There’s nothing to be ashamed of 
with the love HE gives!
There’s power and love in Christ…  
He reigns and LIVES!

He can change your life, 
no matter the circumstance!
Why not come to him now…  
And give HIM a chance?

You Are What You Keep

YOU ARE WHAT YOU KEEP

Let it go. The blackness
the blueness the redness
construe less. Drop things 
too heavy to lift. Clear 
dark bureaus untidy 
bits

Starving
dreams deplete sleep. Let
worldlings murmur their
blurb. Lightning quirks on
high alert. In this great 
Texan delicatessen
you are what
you keep

Record Breakers

Record Breakers. 
He is 100 and five spends his time in bed his family 
come up to his room and clean him up, he is windy
and it smells like a Chinese egg buried underground 
for fifty years. And to think Chines eggs are supposed
to be a delicatessen eaten only by the rich.
He can’t read anymore but like to look at pornographic 
pictures which make him cackle as it triggers off 
a memory of a distant past.

He was never a paragon of virtue smoked and drank  
a brutal criminal who spent much time in prison.
All this is forgotten now his family, although they think
he is disgusting, want him to be in the Guinness book 
of records as the longest living man.

Christ Removes All Sin With His Love

Christ Removes All Sin With HIS Love!

Is there no shame in what many people do?
You never know “what they’re up to!”

As so many struggle with “sins of the past.”
They yearn for a freedom that will last!

There’s so many habits people get involved doing!
In the end…  It is them
 that are losing!

With so many “offers” and many temptations…
People come to the table of 
“life’s delicatessen!

If “everyone’s doing it…”  
It doesn’t mean you have to!
God knows about your life and what “you’re up to!”

He wants to be involved with your life today!
Where there’s a “struggle.” 
 God will make a way!

He offers an abundant life!  Why not receive it!
True purpose and meaning…  You can achieve it!

There’s nothing to be ashamed of 
with what he gives!
There is power and love in Christ…  
WHO LIVES!

He can change y our life, 
no matter the circumstance!
Why not come to him now…  
And give HIM a chance?

Signal Event Between Man and Woman

SJGNAL EVENT BETWEEN MAN AND WOMAN


The eyes have it
As the trolley slews  past the bread display
At first glance it may  be accidental
Testing  it at the delicatessen
Inconclusive but  cautiously  implying
Trying again in  the  frozen section
Melting eyes again, as hoped for
Now for the checkout wait
Wait  while the change is registered
There  the  final  gaze must be long
It must belong to me alone.

Ten Thousand Torturously Terrible Tom's Tidbits (One)

so disgusted, I stopped carrying my bathingsuit around.

he was supposed to keep me warm, but I couldn't use him for that- he smelled 
kind'a funky.

4)Commercial Bank- A bank primarily concerned with safely storing TV
