Long Hazelnuts Poems

I wonder if everyone
has a most dreaded dreamed
nightmare worst way 
to conscientiously drop wrong dead.

Mine is claustrophobi-recallish buried
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...

It's been an odd dream, hasn't it?

I can taste my breath behind this mask
The sweet bitterness of cold brew and hazelnuts
As I run out to replenish my dwindling stock
And the masses cast their breath about

As...

the door ain't got no lock,
and let me help you sit right down
before you die of shock.

Godfearing grandpa died over two decades ago,
he had an adventureous spirit bolder than any explorer of long ago;
and in his many voyages: from tumultuous Argentina
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...

Cherished scenes rush to mind as its pinions bear me to the times which won't ever return,

I came to see you at the remodeled hospital
there were bright tiles, statuary Marys, and assorted saints
"full code" was on the door.
We talked about your eventual escape and some summer plans
Now ,I am informed by...

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.

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!
She really
Know how
Blend the
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...

Two palm shape a bowl for wound. 

My mouth is a big hole of cry
Ruminates in the dark the sorrow  

My legs flint-stone-
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....

Ground for ground why I never, 
Needed any feedback other than 
The sultry taste, the warm goodness 
Saturating my cunning senses:
 
Within the wee hours of the morn, 
Where dawn sleeps in, catering to
My desirable...

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...

Am I Nuts?

Chestnuts don’t grow on chests
Walnuts don’t grow on walls
Peanuts don’t come from peas
Cashews come from the fruit on trees
Pecans don’t come from peacock feathers

Pistachios fall from Pinocchio’s nose
Hazelnuts relax in the hazy sun
Macadamias...

Paper cuts

Delving in deep
affluent mind of floating words 
Finding them in a jumbled heap
Deeply the waters of my heart stirs
Fumbling feet are my pen that slurrs

Suddenly finding my footing
An island in a creative mind
All new,...
