The Coldest California

Blueberries bend
in the frozen eyes of
a bowl


Oranges rippen' the
chest compress inside
a bowl

lemons light up
he soothing sounds
of a tea filled pot


I am thinking of California

A place of rich 
sacrament, /a place
glissend with Kerry wood
& gold

The night to brings
fourth pictures of cool
traffic/
sunsets just 
above the nights air

I am remembering 
my home &
so I must pay homage.

Premium Member Second Hand Countdown

Tick tick tock  ….. watch that eerie clock,
with buddha shaped tuscan stain shroud,
intruding the silver-blue eyed fog waker,
 me, the gem treasure hunter hovering,
oe’r sunshine focussed  raspberry trellis,
that sturdy bamboo shoot prop “ripener,”
I sabre rattle squishy mango downpours,
in my nirvana  of forest green subconscious,
now jolted by the red rose tint second hand,
into mortal transit’s dwindling  time-lapse

Over the Hill

Over the hill what does those words mean
Are we  no use to those around
Or are we building another's dream
To help them have a life quite sound

Are we no use to those around 
Only if our wisdom seeds have no bed
To help them have a life quite sound 
Instead of one that's filled with dread

Only if our wisdom seeds have no bed 
Will we be without a harvest 
Instead of one that's filled with dread 
I want a life that will find rest 

Will we be without a harvest 
Or will you reap eternally 
I want a life that will find rest 
When I have been all I can be 

Now will you reap eternally 
Or are we building another's dreams 
When I have been all I can be 
Over the hill what does those words mean


Cool Grape

it is cool autumn!
sweet, delicious ruby grapes!
have a good evening!

Fruit Trees; Yours And Mine

Whilst are glowing in whose midst
For each fruit tree's 
Flavours to try
The privileged sense of it
Passes we by.

Where each old world's dying wish
Celt's, Greek's, spear-dropped
Blew them, be us!
Faint, mythic isled; if yarded
Less serious!

Premium Member Beastly Fritters and Yeasty Critters

What sort of beast
is made with yeast?
That kind of critter
is called an apple fritter.


Premium Member Marmalade

There is a school of thought
That says
Marmalade is only for breakfast bread
My mother also had that view.
However,as for myself
I will spread it,unsparing,
Morning ,noon and night.

It's The Pit(s)

An avocado is not a vegetable,
botanically, it's classified as a fruit,
specifically, a large single-seeded berry,
although it's a fact you may wish to dispute,
your opinion is neither here nor there
as, take it or leave it,
it's what's known as a 'pear'.
And yet, should everything go pear-shaped,
don't blame the avo, it's not at fault,
for, whichever way you slice it,
it still tastes good with pepper and salt.

Premium Member Love, the Second Time Around

No longer reaching for succulent fruit
but wishing to be the tree
that, in time, may bear it

Premium Member Jack Fruit

I recently saw a very big fruit
It’s big enough to be a giant Kiwi
Brown enough to be a pineapple
Round enough to be a fig
It is rare in America but not unknown
The name of this fruit is Jack
Although what exactly it is,
I don not know- not even sure
What a person can do with it.

Three Haiku (2)

BUTTERFLY                            SUMMER                                            TOLD YOU SO

Silkily cocooned                    Blossom turned to fruit                      Past to the future
Segmented caterpillar           Weather warms up in degrees           Told you so, did you listen
Fluttering angel                     Alas, summer's here                           Oh no! So, what now

Premium Member WHEN SPRING CAME

WHEN SPRING CAME    

With spring, pollen came;
With pollen, the achoo came:
Juicy fruits came too:-

Premium Member Hybrid Fruits

Hybrid fruits holding such rare flavor,
slightly odd and irregular.

Artificial Reality in Fruit and Veg

Melon in a game is like
Melon Lolly’s sugar spike,
Though 1 not fit for a hike.

Strolling in a raspberry field
Blows a bubbly, breezy yield
Of endorphins – worry’s shield.

Fruit juice enhances smoothies –
Sipping to scenes of movies
Allows me to maintain smooth knees.

Crunching on roast potatoes
Puts a pause on my great woes,
As do late poetry shows.

For today, I’m vedging out
Before the morrow’s day out
When I’ll get to vent, not shout.
