Long Kabob Poems

The Avenue of Gastronomic Delight

Down the broad avenue called Gastronomic Delight
City life gathers when twilight awakens;

In eateries, drive-ins, greasy spoons and taverns – jumpin’ joints jumpin’
Like Snoopy with his dish doing the suppertime dance;

Lured by...

Self quarantined misanthrope pitched into purgatory wham!

Ably cane resign eternal damnation (mine)
courtesy devil specially engraved telegram
prestidigitation found me vanishing shazam,
without a trace I disappeared in thin air voila
Earthly travails atop horns of dilemma ram
into me...

Volatile Hazardous Noxious Material...

Spews out the maw
bare n paws size of a bear
yes, him Donald Trump
with maniacal glare
gussied up as inane
name calling offensive

analogous to an overstuffed
ego freezing cold stare
putrid enfilade flatulence issuing
from his doughy derriere

Skewers

Explaining the irony of
the wonderful choice of your gift
of Skewers

For our wedding
has escaped description
for far too long.

And they are quite long.
The skewers, silver,
balanced, stainless, and
uncommonly sharp.

The handles satisfy,
even before they 
plunge into unsuspecting
vegetables or seasoned,...

Old joke: How do porkypines mate? Very carefully.


The porcupine's a modest
And mostly solitary beast,
Akin to capybara and to beaver,
Though in size he is the least.
He rarely gets invited
To a bar-b-que or feast,
But long as he's...

To Winkin’
Blinkin’
and of course nod.
In terms of 
symmetry
prose and 
shish kabob. 
The tricks and twirls 
and polar light;
the flip and flare and star
of kiddy sleepless night
can rip and roar
and rankle up
a juicy fight,
in the twinkle...

Baking, broiling, blindingly bright, blistering sun,

Super scorching, sweltering, sizzling sand

The kabob that is my body skewered, searing

Deceptively blue skies devoid of any deliverance

No cavalry of clouds coming to convey compassion

Rising balloon-like bubbles of hot air

Causing...

Ye old West signposts, green with needle-spurs:
Santa Rita prickly pear, pancake prickly,
plenteous buckets and sunset pink occurs.

It’s mountain time to sip some wine dearly
as the cacti shadows wax in the desert
and the elephant head’s fading...

I see faces,

sober races-

covalent bases,

upon crazes,

upon laces.


I say hi that I know her,

get by on some glow worms,

grow guys in the sojourns-
holy as the phone burns...

High tech would have a job,

but the buying neck would...
