Long Teriyaki Poems

5/5/21

Woke up groggy
The waters were often choppy
From Del Monte 
Toward Milwaukee
To way beyond Nagasaki
And all across the Mojave
See me in person or hit me up on the Walkie-Talkie
Always been a real one, not no carbon...

when upon grasping in the fridge
for a bottle of hot sauce
amidst the myriad of styles
collected for the taste,

Morning buzz
Grandeur and grace;
Pleasant surprise

~~~~~~~~~


Floral bouquet
Scented extravagance;
Rose garden escapade

~~~~~~~~~


City lights twinkle
Evening charades;
Dinner for two

Father's Day comes
Commercial success;
Family reunion

~~~~~~~~~


Ink stains
Words on paper;
Cursive metaphors

~~~~~~~~~


Kitchen chit-chat
Witty small talk;
Espresso ideas

~~~~~~~~~


Sleepy somnolence
Eyelids heavy;
Dreamy pursuits

~~~~~~~~~


Birdsong duet
Dawn serenade;
Hopes and dreams

~~~~~~~~~


Late night escapade

Mastications In One Movement


Lathering on the ranch dressing, 
mixed with honey mustard grunting;
these inhaling engorging souls are
finding the emotional precipice, 
high up and dangling,
hanging by french fried ropes, 
smothered in thousand island arrhythmias.
here come the...

Apple crumb and angel food cakes
Butterscotch banana shakes
Chili, Chinese, cheese, and chips
Doughnuts, deviled eggs and dips
Éclairs, English fish and chips
Fudge, fondue, fritters and French crepes
Guacamole, gumdrops, frosted grapes.
Hash browns, hot dogs, ham and honeyed scones

T' night after a peaceful bubbly sunset
And a well painted aftermath.
We 're about to stroll down 
Alongside the Alawai Canal 
Beneath aloha waving palm fronds
Carefully stepping around the biggest frogs
We've ever seen
At least twice the...

Chipmunks roasting on an open fire, 
It takes 10 to make a meal. 
Grab one by the tail, 
Drop him into the pan... 
You can hear the little fella squeal. 

A little teriyaki kills that...

I love poetry
I’m quite a loveable man
I do enjoy simple walks
I’m gaining knowledge
My family does come first
I love my sleek computer

I’m kind, enjoyable, full of feelings
I wear my heart on my sleeve
I’m a great friend...
