Kiwi Poems

Beholding a stark-naked Kiwi
Prince Charles was bewildered: "What see we?”
His butler replied,
all blushed and wide-eyed: 
“Your highness, a Maori… wee-wee."

POEM "JELLY BELLY" by martin gedge

A jar full of jelly and a bag full of beans

in multiples of colors in a rainbow of dreams

a taste that you savor in the juicy of a jam

bursting with the flavor in handful sugar...Read More

she asked for a great thyme
a day for festvel and enjoyment
a day to marvel in the creativity
of love
and day for people to come together and celebrate the need
to love


she made beautiful drinks of
cucumber jucies and apple jucies
with strawberry jucies and...Read More

Avid anteaters ate artichokes
Blossoming beyond barley’s beauty,
Classic chews can clearly 
Deny delivering dangerous dangling dates
Evening eggplants enormous evolved ecstatic
Ferocious fig fritters furthering Frito’s finesse.
Galloping gingerbread giants gobbling goats gelatin,
Hurrying heavily handsome hindquarters 
Imagining illustriously ignorant
Jealous juried jams
Killing king’s kiwi kingdoms.
Lazy...Read More

trying to sleep
take a simple nap
but the whirling
dervishes in my
mind won't stop
stomping or
dancing

and as i'm "one
who delights in all
manifestations of the
terpsichorean muse" my
memories remind me of a
time on the island of Thera
Greece where each of us to be

Like a man at confession,
I admit I was wrong;

letting the Kiwi loll
idly long.

Now they are soft
as a cotton ball;

against God's law
we are nothing at all.

It used to be that,
I had no appreciation
for fruit or juice.

Vegetables and their juice, 
on the other hand,
I loved and still do.

Fruit was always, 
for me, 
an acquired taste.

Now that it’s acquired,
I can’t seem to get enough,
especially if it’s blue.

Oh,...Read More

New Zealand all over Sea and land,NEWS

The mirage of yesterday shimmers over today,
pearly, dulcet, raining over sunshine memory
with an allure of tones chanted as poetry.

Nonverbal cues, squawks, screams, cheeps, brush
my ears over the crash of waves and the stolen
whispers of conversation I share with you.

If I...Read More

Our great debate is about to start
  Over which aspect is the essential part
Of the word 'kiwi' -- Is it that strange-looking bird  
  Or is it the green, fuzzy fruit that tastes so darn good?

You say...Read More

Named after NZ's native bird,
there's an awesome fruit, it's concurred.
Sold with a spoon, never stirred
adored in salad, so I've heard,
it sounds absurd, it sounds absurd.

Fuzzy outside, brilliant green inner, 
helping to digest your dinner.
Eat it raw to make you thinner,
when...Read More

this is my song,

I sit at my table in the sun

Absorbing all natures love

Salad in bowl green and clean

Olives, cucumber, tomatoes, and feta cheese

A nice amount of iceberg lettuce

With a mixture of radishes and rocket

The BBQ going for those who want it

Some wonderful...Read More

The Vanished Aircraft 
The plane that disappeared some years ago
with 290 passengers didn`t fall into the sea
but landed at the back of the moon, where
The landscape was surprisingly lush if pale as
there are no red roses on the planet.
There was...Read More

I breath lyrics to dying souls.
crafting art for the aching souls.
To see feel and share.
Till I say you see you care.

when the mass production becomes well coped.
and it boils their spirits with tender,
when their mutual...Read More

A pineapple in a bowl of kiwi
Stand tall and proud, mom said
But I would rather, they didn’t see me
Standing high, above their heads

Mother was always so proud
Of my textured skin and headdress 
I found it, unbecoming and loud
Standing apart from...Read More

Pulling together the pieces
Our broken hearts lay bare
A needle and thread is what we need
To rescue what is left, we share 

The constant tears steam forth
Memories of years gone by
Finally you lay to rest
We all get our final goodbye

RIP Kiwi...Read More

The jaded moss morning slips in
  as kiwi colored dew settles down upon pear sage grass.
Dampened fern pine evergreen leaves
  are held stationary by some unseen glue.
Soft blows the wind, gray boned white clouds
  the remaining leaves...Read More

ANZAC Girls

Nobody asked her to go
No one told her to go
She saw the suffering
Of thousands of young men
Australian and Kiwi
They fought together in the trenches
And she was there waiting to care for them
Most lived once they came to her
But some...Read More

I can still taste
Your strawberry lips 
On mine

Your strawberry lips 
Kissing mine

Kissing my 
Kiwi fruited lips.

As the stars shine upon the heaven
There the celestial objects clash and fade.
But in the womb of earth,men's sweet haven
Children creep and cry in the nights' parade.
Yamah,the God of justice declares to earth
Kiwi and the bats wake at night to...Read More

Of all the colors in the world 
There isn't just one that perfectly describes you, 
A coloring book filled with all kinds of scribbles 
and vibrant hues. 
Tracing each line with the zest of reassurance. 
A splash of purple and...Read More

Katie put some chicken
kebabs in the fridge, then
kicked off her tight shoes. The
kettle boiled and she made
kiwi fruit tea. Her cute
kitten climbed onto her
knee and fell fast asleep.
