Gourd Poems - Poems about Gourd

she had been searching for grumpy gourd

lovely lively lithe Louise Lampford
grew a grainy greasy grumpy gourd
believing beyond belief in Baker’s board
she said she’d been searching for a grumpy gourd.
We thought this would delight Louise Lampford
But she could not cut the beast with machete or sword.

The Bottle Gourd Rhyme

I am tall, I am slender,
Light Green but not cucumber.
Have a snout, have a tail,
Found in market & even retail.

Packed with Vitamin C, K & Calcium,
I punch my weight in nutrition.
Eat me & get a healthy heart, Bring down cholesterol & fat!

I am 90% water & light,
& can climb up with delight.
Eat me & be

Sword of Mischief Is Ready

Nick's sword of mischief is ready,
The thrusts to be ever steady
For those he is sure are heady,
Now controllable, soon an eddy...

Nick's challengers need steely sword,
Until they accept a Made Lord,
Palm wine has failed with its swell gourd;
No one has ever pleased a horde.

Nick shall reached throats slash with his sword,
Now it's without doubt the Spring

Gourd and God

I
mystery in seeds:
real to me, small, flat gourd seed
now, shoots at window smile

II
Flat white seed planted
a meter from window
three weeks: hi from window

Bitter Gourd

Let the truth of great God remain
In the hearts of chosen people; 
Let all the lies be left behind
By the spirit, mind, heart, and soul.

Let the light stay radiant and bright
In the lives of true God's children; 
Let not the dark conceal or blind
The open eyes of the brethren.

Let the fire of the burning love
Be

Ode To the Orange Gourd

It’s that time of year again...
When family and friends gather together..
To share and give thanks for all that they treasure..
The young and the old, the tall and the small..
The Vegans and the Carnivores, come one come all...
There are dishes of tradition, like Turkey and stuffing..
Mashed potatoes, gravy, and cranberry muffins..
Green Bean casserole, and corn soufflé...
Are

Hallow Gourd

Snap my lonely stem and
Amputate my denied attachments and
Discover the life that drains
From an open wound.
Oozing to the earth it will 
Whet the desires of worms,
Each wondering why tears
Taste so much like pulp
From a pale and oddly shaped
Pumpkin.
