Premium MemberA Distress Dish Of Blue Cheese And An Old Dill

Blue Cheese and Old Pickles Poetry Contest
Craig Cornish

A dish of disappointment
mocks the kitchen chef
two anomalies sitting on his cutting board
all in their glory, dumbfounded
... and unappetizing 
plated for aliens and not humans
or for a horse that doesn’t know better
this recipe’s giving him the blues and he’s seeing red
where …
his yellow brick road has two strangers

Premium MemberAnother Family Dish

Another day, another dish
Time to make the meal for the family of five.
Fresh from the store, lay a huge red fish 
Here in the kitchen is where she will strive.

The family on the couch, Sitting, Watching, Waiting

On the outside it's just another dinner to be made
Food being placed in a pot, oven or bowl.
The sounds of

Premium MemberLou Ordered the Yucky Crab Dish

we ate at a fancy restaurant tonight – me and daughter Lou.
I knew my order before arriving, but Lou reads the menu.
Freddy, our waiter, came back several times but she was not ready.
I had not eaten since seven a.m. I was shaky, sleep-deprived, unsteady.

Lou was torn between a crab dish that looked awful, soupy and

Premium MemberShe sucks the oxygen from the room

Where ever she goes the cameras loom.
They're on to the scent of her perfume.
She sucks the oxygen from the room..
Forever in the public eye, all daily movements scrutinized.
She must dot all x's and circle her y's
Transparent as a bronze gold fish.
Isolated, observed, on a petri dish,
craving for some privacy, a daily wish..
She pulls up her

Premium MemberPotatoes In a Pretty Blue Dish

The potatoes are cooling in a pretty blue dish.
Looking like hillside stones or sleeping piglets. 

While waiting for the litter to cool off.
I thought about the many wars being fought...
On our beautiful blue planet of the newly forsaken. 
Millions of innocent lives selfishly taken.
How much money and time have been wasted.
Lobbing bombs into robin egg

Premium MemberMay I Have Your Attention Please

The dwindling attention span of a human should bring
us insight into what may be looming..
Recent studies reveal that it's eight seconds now.
I'm struggling to finish this thought some how..
If one put a human brain on a petrie dish,
I guess it's now equal to a goldfish..
Look it up on fact checker if you think it's a

Dish the Dirt

"I have this spilling tea that would blend this conversation."
Does it speak beyond your intelligence and profession?

When words become bullets, that’s when you start pulling the trigger.
How can you murder names with joy and act like a winner?

Maybe noontime discussions are more absorbing when it’s all about rumors.
But gossips don’t make the truth, honey; They

Wedding Cake

Strange is a wedding that sidelined cake.
Many appear at one for its sake.
We have dreams of time to one bake,
For Rich Cake begin to time stake…

Cake for weddings even if fake;
For the supreme sense it does make,
Refusing to heed the Old Snake,
Going ahead to bliss awake…

Cakes cutting goes with love wish
For bride and bride groom

Appetite

A Dining Hall’s famous passion 
And signal stomachs have vision.
Not shown ignites cook’s confusion,
The proudest chef slight convulsion…

Determines how far feeders go
With that which makes human being grow;
The Richest Cake won’t with one flow,
If sugar does not make one glow,
The blackest dish as white as snow,
Because one’s captured mind it’d blow…
 
Poorest Appetite – Appetizer,
Aroused

Premium MemberDish It

Oh, they love to spin it.
On prime time and live.
And lie by omission.
Hidden agenda, which side
A new Special Edition
will come on at nine.
Oh, they love to spin it.
Nights in prime time.

Don't care about that.
it's not a news flash.
Get the new body count.
With numbers to flout.
Give us a huge tragedy.
And fly our copter out.
Land there on

Premium MemberKitty Wants Fish To Be Her Dish

Kitty was loving the swish of the happy-go-lucky fish
Gentle lap of the water brought her from her dish
Could we be valentines? She asked the gold one.
Sure! Said the fish. Could be all kinds of fun!

The castle was wise; tried to warn off the fish.
But the golden one swam off with a swish.
let’s have supper tonight
