Long Hazelnuts Poems

I wonder if everyone
has a most dreaded dreamed

half alive at best is worse
in a wooden rough pine crate.

I'm feeling angry with those who raped,
then buried...

SHE SCRAMBLED EGGS ENOUGH TO FEED TWENTY PEOPLE
AND MADE ENOUGH TOAST TO FEED FIFTY.
HAM AND OYSTERS, AND STEAKS FOR FIFTY
AND SHE MADE BOTH BISCUITS AND ROLLS.
CUCUMBERS AND ENGLISH MUFFINS
AND THE JUICES OF ORANGES...

And the masses cast their breath about

to Canada and America...he immensely missed
his faithful and beautiful blue-eyed wife...

Most people go bananas 
over chocolate
I'm well nuts about nuts 
as well
Stuff them in chocolate
ice-cream or sherbet.

Yeah munch on peanuts
brunch on hazelnuts
Ah lunch on pecan nuts
or crunch on chestnuts

For nuts could never 
drive one nuts
Ironically...

there were bright tiles, statuary Marys, and assorted saints

I never really got the chance
To thank you
For these glasses that
Have made me see

The beauty in this world that my nocturnal spirit
Has shut away
Like the wings of a bird
Shielding itself from the scorching sun

Summer fields

In the main festivities of Navalmanzano, Segovia
And its pilgrimages
He did not dare to ask the girls to dance
Afraid that everyone would give him pumpkins.

In Nutty Dreams, a world so grand,
A sweet escape, a nutty land.
Nuts Galore, a vision bright,
An ocean nutty, cool and light.

Into its depths, dispelling fear.
A salty splash, a nutty...

Bruised little feet, up the stream, struggling,
The rocky, dry river pluckily facing,
Bitter memories, the little souls bearing,
Heinous scars,their tiny body still covering.

Around utter desolation again discovering,
In true hearts solace seeking,
A cleansing mother’s embrace wishing,
Regenerating father’s...

It is delicious!
It is absolutely
Marvelous!

Perfect flavors.

In a sec ra large
Movie theatre bowl
She layered
A almond cake
At the bottom
And drizzled
A sweet almond syrup
Over the bottom and
Filled sided up half way
With brownies, she lefted
The center...

The hammers of night sparked
The cry from my chest 
The sleepers of...

Why did I have to grow?

Just reminiscing about my life, 
Thinking back when as a child. 
Out walking with my family, 
Watching badgers in the wild. 

Picking berries for my mother, 
Hazelnuts from the trees....

Needed any feedback other than 
The sultry taste, the warm goodness 
Saturating my cunning senses:

Where dawn sleeps in, catering to

I recall being four years old
and picking hazelnuts with mum.
Fall was chilly, but not too cold,
and we'd picked some to be sold.
Your dad's off to war; I got told, 
I didn't know that he would...
