Sacred Lakes
“Sacred Lakes”
There is magic
in your shaman bones
stories shaken like strange mojo
busy under cover of autumn leaves
turning burnished topaz gold
idling unrushed roll over
in honeyed slumber
turning back hands
to face a time of
blushing...

Al Dente Western
He rides his horse into town with dramatic cowboy flair
where suddenly a certain amount of tension fills the air
wide rimmed cowboy hat pulled down low
with guns strapped to his sides ready to go
All the townsfolk...

There's No Escape From Certain Things
Checking the lights on the dashboard when they flash and stay red:
it's the oil that needs to be changed or the engine that requires
maintenance, and in frigid temperatures who would venture outside and get frostbites?

My Cooking Adventure
Today I declared war
on my own laziness—
no more delivery apps,
no more surrender.
I would conquer pasta.
First victory:
water bubbling on the stove.
Time to add salt—
but my hand betrayed me,
half the shaker tumbling
into innocent water.
The pot became
a miniature...

Ode to Pasta
You are the stuff my culinary dreams are made of.
Unending shapes and sizes.
From skinny linguini to the rounded orecchiette
and squiggly fusilli.
As my tongue tastes morsels of your saucy tubular goodness,
I compose a rhyme of...

Abandon
Sleepless ... tossed like pillows, our sleep number slumber
so sweetly disturbed ... pretzel limbs, twisted soft and warm ...
we tear torrid tunnels through Egyptian cotton ...
Swimming, deep, the louvered moonbeams, properly peeled
and cologned-to-taste ... hot-striped...

NOUVELLE CUISINE
Nouvelle cuisine the waiter said, as he served the food to me
Where’s the rest I asked him, as I’d earlier skipped my tea
Tiny bits of something on a massive bloody dish
I tried to woo...

I drop hard nine inches long bundle of farfelles..
Minutes passed,between my fingertips,
I pressed one strand, al- dente!
In a platter glittering white,

Date Night (And the Day After)
Opening line from "Highway Five Love Poem" by Ruth L. Schwartz
This is a love poem for all the tomatoes
I squished to make our Date-Night spaghetti.
Our love, like the pasta, was shiny. So the story...

The Matriarchs are Molting Again
Grandma’s ghost has taken up
knitting rattlesnakes in the drapes.
They hiss when someone lies.
Now, my mother only speaks
in noodle metaphors.
I ask her how she is, and she replies,
al dente, then goes back
to stirring the aquarium...

Poetry Soupris
Poetry soupris
Soupris being French for sighs
And we all breathe them
At different times in our lives
We breathe them in relief
And maybe in our sleep
Exhaled after we've railed
Against the nightly thief
Poetry soupris
Potato soupris served cold
Alphabet soupris
Spelled out...

Daydream Tiara
Midday sometimes in class instead of learning algebra
While she should be calculating and figuring a formula
Her mind wanders aboard a moonlit gondola
Serenaded by a musician and his viola
She follows the enticing aroma of hot lasagna

I Like My Soup Al Dente
I like my poetry soup cooked al dente,
so lots of diced adjectives in the pot went,
and I threw in some fresh verse,
lyric, I did immerse.
I folded in liquid imagination,

Understanding Poetry
a certain al dente to the line
that gives up its sustenance
without some sentimental mush
but toothy, with crunch and crush
a rhyme is good, but not all mattered
more important is the view that's gathered
rolled perhaps taste of...

Changing Lanes
Booze and madness.
I'm feeling it. Again,
nobody believes me but the nonsense, it just makes sense.
It's all about the soul deep down inside
That's me.
I'm in my head and I don't think I'll ever get out.
And then...

Pasta Love
How do I eat thee? Let me count the ways:
sauced, buttered, plain,
sprinkled with Parmigiano Reggiano,
pesto, pancetta, bacon.
Rowdy rigatoni, flamboyant farfalle,
perky penne, funny fusilli, lovely linguini,
spunky spaghetti,
personality abounds.
An atavistic love affair
with semolina goodness
in all shapes, sizes
like...

Revenge
It tastes a little like patience,
a pot simmering on low heat;
It tastes like something left on ice
that now has been perfectly thawed;
It tastes a little bit sugar,
attached to what they did to you;
Now the craving...

A Tasty Lasagna
I rarely follow any traditional rules
when it comes to culinary delights;
everyone should try my tasty lasagna,
which I surely learned from Mamma.
I cook the noodles for five minutes, 'till they are al dente, which means crunchy,...

Critterature: Place Your Bets
A yak and a yeti made a bet
To see which one was the hairiest.
The yak was an ox,
And the yeti, no "fox",
Had already won as the scariest.
Neither had the allure
Of the latest coiffure,
They were unkempt...
