And threw it in the
bin
What a S... Idea
Whatever were they thinking of?

Ballet and BeefFrustrating being a poet.
If I am to write for you
I do have to read your mind.
So what are the words that arouse your passion?
And why do you love
that stew pot while you possess
ballet that is...

thank you for the sugar cookieClassroom door opens
Third grader named Piper enters carrying cookies on a tray
Would you like one?
All the students yell that they want one.

One way to solve E-Waste problemI wonder if it is true,
That we produce more E-waste than food for you and me.

There once was a Cat who made a wish.
It had to do with Clancy's pet fish.
If its bowl would break,

to proclaim Clancy's fish quite delish!...

The Taco SongMexicans make many things,
but the best is tacos,
bull-fighting is kinda cool,

awesome spices in the meat,
the soul of the taco.

Waist to head, I’m a Christmas tree
From this fat, I’ll never be free

at the table
legs swinging…

Silently I say, “Ugh!”
Quietly waiting
at the table…
Aunty Jean...

Milk Flowstook them to the breast
fed them with love…tenderness
joy in triplicate
they won’t remember kindness
so private and personal
with kids of their own
milk flows to their very bones
bare naked to wise
a grown woman’s pure pleasure
and a husband’s jealousy

Live Lavishly Sometimes
Soft lavash, luscious Sangria, savory shrimp, scallop skewers,
scrumptious lobsters, seasoned steak, sauteed spinach, squash,
scrummy lemon lady finger, strawberry shortcake, latte, lungo.
La la, lovely, lavish, some sumptuous supper!...

A Fruitful FruitThe smell of cantaloupe is enticing
Yearning to feel it’s smoothly texture
It beckons me to it with an unworldly call
The slippery flesh is on my earthly skin
As I hold the fruit it embraces me,
How sweet! How...
