Black Garlic

I wish I could eat black garlic
Its so paradoxical
something axiomatic 
eating sweetly caramelised
like an ironic joke
or a thwarted after dinner speech

Premium MemberGarlic Heads Crash Halloween Party

the jack-o-lanterns were infuriated.
The ghosts and goblin mad.
garlic heads had crashed the party.
Halloween this year was sad.

How dare they show up again
With sloppy ink on their weird faces.
They cannot just come in here right?
Asked a vampire named Aces.

They are already in, the jacks said,
Feeling angry and upset.
The garlic heads are smelly.
They will stink this place

Plantin' Garlic and Potatoes

Plantin' the Garlic and the Potatoes
I can only Hope in the Heirloom Tomatoes

The Daisies push up well past the Day
With Evan Porter sleepin' outside in the Fray

Charlie ' s in a row out at the plant
And Grandma Moses is lookin' for Dry Land

The Ocean washes up the Effervescent Shore
And taxes those who bore

And set out

Premium MemberOde To a Garlic Press

Oh, my precious press, you are my
praise-worthy kitchen helper.
You take a clove of fresh garlic, bland, 
and soon it becomes a brilliant burst in
minced, crushed, or creamy paste.
 
My gentle press, you transform 
the wild garlic and tame it in a most 
determined and delightful way.
You impart fine perfumery in the air.
You make a delicious

A Garlic Poem

The garlic poem 
I had a hot shower, water running, easy down the plug hole  
like my life on an average day. 
Down the plug hole, “isn’t there a song like that “ 
I noticed foam in the corner, enough to remember 
something from a far past. 
I waited for my ship to dock

Leaves Through Doors Not Windows

When my walls I face
Or round my room pace,
My gaze windows meet
And my two eyes greet …

The same as all doors
But stigma do bear;
Better on all fours
In my finest wear
Through all types of doors
And face foes’ teeth and claws
Than through a window
Asking Barking Bingo!
On the spot ‘Burglar’
After valuable, 
Save Room’s Regular
And it thinkable:
One’s door key

Tender Falls the Rain

Wishing some times
turns sunshine to rain
Tender falls the rain

don't waste my time
tryna break my heart

 from the very start
Love me Tender
Never wanna let me go
sappy love songs
Sh*t thought I let you knoiw
Aint wanting hurt
don't like bruised feelings
got look into who
and what I'm dealing with
Tender falls the rain
as i

Premium MemberSpaghetti and Garlic Bread

Steaming spaghetti and garlic bread.
      On a warmed red-checkered plate.
               With aromatic, hot, garlic bread.
For my epicurean tastes is just fine and dandy!
       Would be nice though, if served by

Coed Garnllwyd Walk, Llancarfan

A glance from the field displays a line of green,
Waving back and forth, for as far as can be seen,
A chosen path the gentle scrub has allowed through,
Human interaction has created steps too,
In the distance.
Meadow's dancing to the swift gentle breeze,
Flower Buds loving every minute, after the freeze,
The river winding its way, repeating the circle,
As

A Purple Garlic Kiss

My name is Ethel Mary 
And I have to tell you this
I hate it when Aunt Geri
gives a purple garlic kiss!
I hate it when my bubblegum
EXPLODES all over my face!
I hate it when I’m last
in the stupid relay race!
I hate it when I laugh
and milk goes out my nose!
I hate it when my new shoes
