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.
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 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
it is cool autumn!
sweet, delicious ruby grapes!
have a good evening!
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!
What sort of beast
is made with yeast?
That kind of critter
is called an apple fritter.
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.
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.
No longer reaching for succulent fruit
but wishing to be the tree
that, in time, may bear it
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.
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
WHEN SPRING CAME
With spring, pollen came;
With pollen, the achoo came:
Juicy fruits came too:-
Hybrid fruits holding such rare flavor,
slightly odd and irregular.
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.

i trace every curl

auburn coil'd
