Food Poems

Animal cracker soup
  Full of sugar and goop 
Served it to my playgroup
  When one kid let out a whoop 

The animals had started to grow
  They'd filled the insides of each bowl 
In a flash, all...Read More

I’m living the dream;
so grateful am I
for mountains around me,
green grass and blue sky.

Not all are so lucky
to have things they need:
great friends, food, and a home.
Wanting for more leads to greed.

The battle line is drawn.
Beyond the mystery of your power, 
You've laid us down.
In your bid to get in here you promised to build a tower.

On your shoulder do we rest
Till you daily lay us to rest.
We will end the...Read More

Winter is a great time for crockpot recipes
Simmering through the day, bringing comfort food
After a long cold day of getting things done,
Dinner is ready and waiting to enjoy
Crockpot comfort is something to try
As the winter days linger on, going by

She bragged about
Enjoying the embarrassment
Of being rich
She spoke of
Opportunities
That were available
To her thru those
Trends that complimented
What she already knew
And wasn't nervous
About doing
Her strengths were
The Reas n she bragged.
Her weaknesses came from
Those fears she kept hidden
Treasures the shame of
Wealth
Those who long...Read More

Living with mom
Feeling loved and protected
Nurtured in every kind of way
 He is predictably helpless 
Never washed a dish
Or loaded a dishwasher
Never held a job 
Or paid a bill
Never dated
No secret why
Mother dies unexpectedly
World falls apart
He is helpless
Has never written...Read More

To the right,
where God's light had shone bright,
Warrior Queen,
know your beast is come, 
all may not be lost,
he comes from his land of endless night,
indeed, he has heard your plea.
The thunder and lightning,
they now play your symphony, 
this is terror's...Read More

EVERYTHING PUT UPON MY PLATE

Everything put upon my plate is nothing, but; the food of knowledge
Once digested its full life’s lesson is accepted and truly acknowledged

Decorations fill the halls
Row of rolls of shining reds
Strung along the long walls
Followed by green and gold
The Christmas tree is ready
All gifts wrapped underneath
The buffet table is is long filled 
with all types of food
The eggnog is waiting
At the hallway...Read More

Every morning my first chore
is to flush what I ate the night before. 
But here’s a fact that worries me: 
why is it always more in quantity
than all the food piled on my plate? 
That’s when I begin to speculate
with...Read More

( A Christmas Kiss )

Filled with passion, Amy had a deep crush
A sweetheart in school, that made her blush
Her eyes always wandering, when he would pass
She admired his existence, it was clear as glass

Her knees would shake, when he opened...Read More

You've given me more than enough, and I'm grateful.

I don't choose to watch the news
When it's read on the telly
Mostly bad, sometimes sad
It turns my legs to jelly

Has the world gone to "pot"?
Is there no consolation
Do we expect too much
From an un-united nation

Loss of respect
And care for each...Read More

to have home is the key
and food
to stop this bad news

Living a life of ease

Luxurious indeed

Always dreamed of a better way
Where he could be pampered
Baths, endless food, a comfortable bed to stretch and lay

Living out his dreams

Waking up in my college mood
Deciding if I should head straight out or eat some food
Majoring in so damn tired
To much studying and my brain is on fire
Can't wait till the semester ends
So I have more time to spend
Sleeping in...Read More

On the day before Christmas
I was shopping in town
just hopping and bopping
and chasing gifts down

With toys for the kiddies
and gifts for my wife
not a care in the world
Just enjoying my life

When suddenly the mall
erupted in clatter
heard someone scream
then heard the...Read More

sugar, cream cheese and
ginger, cinnamon, pumpkin

baked at three-fifty

Dark
curtain,
falls upon
landscapes visage;
dews saliva’s soft,
peppering down upon
freshly planted garden seeds;
tiny hair like roots digging deep,
searching for nutrients in the soil;
finding food and drink, the party begins.

If laundry be the food of love
then my love’s food is abundant,
crammed into its glutted mouth
with potions drear and pungent.

If laundry be the food of love
then I am served with plenty.
May ketchup pour on shirts galore
so my platter’s never empty.

Heidi
was so sweet
to offer us
yummy cupcakes
so in the spirit
of Christmas...….
cookies, that is,
I offer you...….
Gingersnaps
fresh
out of my oven.
Smell the cinnamon,
clove, molasses scents
that swiftly infiltrate
your nostrils...

that first delicate
crunch
producing
merry molars 
I hope.

Oh,
disgusting!
Wipe that
drool
  off
