Big ripe Mcintosh apples found lying on the ground
Release sweet juiciness when their finders take a bite.
Ibises of scarlet stand elsewhere in the world without a sound
Gathered underneath a crimson sky awaiting night.
Hovering near bushes...

Gholam startled for a second, smelling the women; 
his nose turned sharply to the east, 
Glad he would be able to rapidly 
pick up their scent after devouring his feast,

Madic had been an acquaintance of...

Solanum
	
	Dangerous and beautiful, 
	tasty and deadly, 
	nature’s guessing games... 
	
	When I was a child 
	my mother told me that

Faeries and jet streams in yesterday’s sky
I glance up and see an eagle so high

My true African Queen 
with the beauty I've never seen 
The one who got me in this

As I gaze at my gorgeous lunch salad
sings to me a sonorous love ballad!
What’s dazzling about temporal food

The melting silk of shredded cheddar cheese
on the sharp crunch of leafy romaine...

Step, step, step
You see your feet move forward
But you move nowhere and nowhere can be found
Your feet feel heavy, what once felt light

The ease of trampling now seems like a dark night

Summer’s sweetest natural dessert
Presented itself to me in the form of a
Large seeded watermelon that
I found by chance at a local food stand.
Thrilled was I to see such a perfect specimen!

Wide, round, and green,
It had...

If tomorrow could be a day
I will wake up to see wonders
Morning of flowers blooming
Sun rising with bright smile
Giving the world reasons to wait for other days

If tomorrow could be a day
I will climb the...

The eternal feeling of warm lazy Sundays in June 
The gift of a chair in the shade of the draping Willow
on a hot August afternoon.  To enjoy the gardens’
giving glory is like heaven sent...

Twilight whispers behind the blinds;
I barely see, but I believe,
In the ruby and orange rinds,
Moon blossoms of midsummer eve.

I barely see, but I believe
In the twinkling star diamonds,
Moon blossoms of midsummer eve.
Romantic ebon-sky widens.

In the...

Jeepers it is hot in here
I just burned my derriere
But I don't mind at all because
I am being cooked with love
Tenderly simmered in a pot
My skin fell off--I am so hot
I feel naked but so...
