Long Omelets Poems

Dolly woke first kissed Damian 
On his cheek. He was still asleep.
Today was July 27th  Dolly 
Thought, "Oh my Goodness."
"Today is me and Molly's 
Birthday. Justin and 
Jordan turned 10 in April. Now
Me and...

met folks on that smelly bus
more than I could count

Just Sleep Walking?

Echoes of laughter penetrate my reflections
Reminding me of the loneliness that exists
Amid shattered memories and lost dreams
When I awakened to a family that was gone
Lifted from the earth to walk along those
Streets of heaven, where...

There is a place so beautiful I'd love to see again.
My dream vacation started in Madrid, in central Spain.
How I long to stroll again down by Retiro Lake
and see El Prado art museum. Then for...

Memories of goodness from collaborating nakedness
are more than strong appetizing captivity from hot omelets and lasagna
serving as the foundation of a strong intimacy
planted in a greenhouse of mythical pleasures
growing in the natural mood of the...

I like reminders, so I email my husband every day from work:  
Remind me to bring chili tomorrow, wear a silly hat on Tuesday, bring a baby shower card on Thursday.
The dog’s appointment is...

I'll admit being green is not the easiest thing, 
    a frog looks very silly in a broken arm sling.

When seeking to write
a poem, no need to
descend into deep, dank
mysterious wells of 
creation – after great depth
only to come upon 
one's ignitable soul-fuel

my muse, for example, 
far more accessible, generally
wearing just a glistening
strand of...

Lavish locks sprawl pillowed in peace this morn.
Gently whiskered cheeks hint of last night's lipstick
Tensions banished blue grassy fiddling lingers
Let's take it easy

I'll make the omelets

moonlight kiss on a moderate summer evening
rocking chair amazement as the waves crash 
hot cinnamon roll panera vibe butter drenched

Boxes and cupboards, closets and drawers

I am retrieving everything from my past

And freeing them to a world of usage

Even old wine will be opened

And that set of china too expensive to use

Except on special occasions...

Faster I ran, faster it spun on a slender stem.
My mom’s weaving magic was marvelous.
Her hard fingers – with the knife scars and
allergic rashes– worked wonders on green

Hens in a hen house all wanted to cook
Some would bake and some would look
They didn’t have dough, so bread they did not
But plenty of eggs which they scrambled a lot.

They got bored with the...

Soft-shelled things by their sources laid
On spots assuring them no raid:
In my poultry picked up by maid,
With care handled or her upbraid
“Boiled or Omelets but with bread,
For my breakfast do as I’ve said!”

I’d quip: Mirror...

You! Across the paisley covered kitchen table!
Why do our knees kiss..then
lock helplessly in a welcome embrace, as in a fable?   

I am so enchanted when we feed each other.
The way you make those sunny omelets...

Could easily eat eggs three times a day
Love those little buggers so much
Thanks to the hens for being so gracious
Providing us with omelets and such

Heard some people even eat 'em raw
Now that's not for me...

Nobody really likes a short-form read
a small screed about the mind-shattering infinitude of the universe
or the endless grandeur of nature - I mean not really.

We must move along, be willingly captured
by a more comprehensible minutiae.

Welcome she said with a chopsquirrely grin.
I was entranced, and enthralled, and I quickly ran in.
We have puddings, cakes, omelets, hamburgers too.
What can we bring little ‘ole you?

Immediately at ease, I looked around at their...

I love potatoes in the form of chips
Or mashed with gobs of butter 
And salt and pepper. 

Throw in a can of creamed-corn.
But if you do that crunch in crackers
And add salt and pepper and...

Walking distance from my home’s
The perfect place for lunch;
It’s also great for dinner and
For those who favor brunch.

Resembling a bistro,
It is intimate and chic,
Where meals are eaten leisurely,
If that’s the vibe you seek.

The menu’s filled...

I turned the wrong direction. My arm brushed 
against something solid on the counter, which slid 
to the floor. I heard the cracking sound and knew 
the eggs were broken. You cannot repair broken

Raspberries
Young, tender and succulent
Smothered in cream
Yellow fluffy omelets 
Garnished with herbs 
Eve's pudding bathing in custard

Served with green salad
plus chips and icecream!
A glass of white wine - Pinot Grigio

Tongue-fondling fingertips, toe tops.
Fermented fervor fusing outside of you and I;
A limited expression unlimited.
Harried telephone chats…of plans:
Birthday, payday, Christmas day, holy day.
Arm-locked walks, wobbling anywhere.
“How’s this look with my blue coat?”
Knowing shrug.
Hello hug. Flowers, sans...
