Long Cauliflower Poems

We were taken from the North and South Pole
And left in a basket at the flagpole
If all the relics in history were unfold
You would discover that the real threshold
Is...

I have been trying to pen this verse for the past two weeks but
Someone was standing in my way and my mind went astray

Over what has been lost.

Days of long ago - filled with much flavour,
Foods exotic – for the discerning palate to savour.

deep into the cauliflower folds
branching like rivers of lightning
all at once one at a time

Vegetables have feelings too


Cauliflower Cathy
Put on her Sunday best
Forgetting it was Saturday
She hadn’t had much rest

Working in the garden
This place she called her home
Tending to her children

To Eat A Peach

Spring is here.
The delicate tree blossoms replace
     the delicate white lights of Winter.
From the petals fruit will grow.

Pears, plums, apricots, cherries,

I write only for you,
Not for the king, so smart,
Not for Paris,
Not for the mirrors of the sky,

Who weeps before God,
I don’t write for the...

"Beyond lychgate lies future death" she says,
cucumbered eyes slid back under cauliflower sky,
brimming smithereens of harkening demons.

Been in saddle some time since torchlight began,
a child's silent castle ago. Chaos-times cut alleyways
through rose-lettered circles, reads trashy...

For I speak life I am whole
Not Broken BROKEN 


I know we are not broken
Yet there were moments Walking on the space covered ground Bronze Sand speckled dust every blade of grass on...

The password is… password, shhh...

Entering indeed, as with all lithesome ladies,

Americans are Americans, period.
No matter color, sex and for heavens, sake!

For Ian Diddams and my Dad

So what’s the crack with rugby?
My father used to play
He’d come home with an injury
Every other day
My mother used to worry
He was quite deaf to her fears
Her futile protestations fell

I SHUDDER TO  THINK 

I  shudder to think about the way 
Some  vegetables are  abused every day -
With physical  and psychological  slights
In gross violation of their vegetable rights.
