On Returning Leftover Peppermint to My Neighbor

Digestion liquesces peppermint. I chew
the leaves for both of us, an aftertaste

when stillness is an afterthought.
Dust gleams like the raised plastic on a debit card.

Winds seem to bank and then burst through a window
in a venetian blind-slatted sunshine;
bars slit across you on the floor.

Strangers make front entrances where shoes scuff the rug.
The briefest, jagged arcs of light play off your skin,
or more likely, I've been shocked out of daydreams

to come to grips with my shaky hands
gleamed from your hair as I'm brushing
with a sense of care you'll no longer shoulder.

Your doctor rests a hand on a wingless clavicle.
You are so there, on the rug, you're here
in my ear; an undeveloped word swishes

overhead like a bird. It's time I step aside.
Your dictionary, alongside you on the floor,
I can only guess what it had meant to you,

a foundation, whispered, wind-flipped pages?
Your scars had patched
what's hatched in red.

A professional
laminates you
in one zip.

The Peppermint Rose

behold
the
twirl of
the
peppermint rose
so
bright
Green and gold

Peppermint

Peppering the season
Praising God, the reason
Prayers for hearts and souls
Peace that always consoles
Preparing us for One
Prince of Peace, He will stun
Pure love has just begun

amazing peppermint princess

Peppermint princess so striped and pretty
Decorated the Christmas shelf though she was bitty
Carolers came by and sang songs in her honor.
Elves wandered by, fell in love, one was a goner.
Who designed her? The other dolls wondered in amazement.
She was so gorgeous, they wished she was down in the basement.

Peppermint Business

Floats in peppermint daydreaming,
nothing can touch her inhaling;
Therapy's  so easy masking;
Sober, sobbing; Sober, sobbing;

Treatment's only temporary;
Try to deal without whiskey,
sugar, or that cup of coffee;
Just keep busy; Just keep busy.

What Can You Peppermint Angels Do

Peppermint Christmas angels were doing the cha cha cha.
“What else can you do?” Asked a pinecone name of McGraw.
We can do the petootsie dance, and we can tease our maw.
“What else can you do?” asked a prissy critical macaw.

“We can twirl and spin, and we can make delicious coleslaw.
We can play racquetball and we can spot an editorial flaw.
We can peel potatoes in a fancy way if you get them raw.
We are pretty talented,” said the angels, and we can draw.”

Peppermint Candy

Someone put one in my pocket 
I was hoping it was you 
It would have been so wonderful 
An answer to my query, who?
I'm not sure why necessarily 
But I'll tell you from my point of view:
I'd be honored to know that you think me so
Meaning you think that I am sweet too

A Blanket Fort and Peppermint Pillow Mote

Aromatic alleviation that you need; 
the secret to having anything succeed? 
A blanket fort and peppermint pillow mote;

Sea of calm spiked with crimson passion;
If you get high on imagination? 
That’s the turnkey to get inside; 

I dare you to try and break the fire wall
if there’s nothing of childhood you recall; 
Forever locked outside your psyche;

Fragrant aroma that allows you to breathe 
free to rejoin what lies underneath; 
Inhale exhale, roll back in time.

White Peppermint

A hint of lush white peppermint,
Such fragrance simply so exquisite.

Peppermint Princess

Peppermint Princess tries for attention daily
Wearing her candy cane Christmas colors so gaily,
It is only June the Calendar Enforcer in a prissy way.
Peppermint Princess does not care; she has come to play.

She dances around the Christmas Prince batting her eyes.
He has heard of her reputation, which is no big surprise.
She is a cute little thing he agrees with Jeeves, his Squire.
Gives him permission to date her, for she lights his fire.

Peppermint Tea

Steep a bag of peppermint tea
into a cup of  boiling water
and let it bleed

The minty flavor blends and holds
that peppermint aroma bold
A sniff of steam tickles your nose
and goes way down to curl your toes

Blow the steam and take a sip
taste of peppermint cleanse the palate
Refreshes the mouth and clears the nose
again the peppermint can curl your toes

Hot and savory on a cold day
peppermint tea keeps the chills away
Better yet don't remiss
peppermint tea gives you kissable breath

No sugar or honey I need
drink it straight my peppermint tea
For the stomach it does soothe
relaxes tensions into smooth

Peppermint tea a minty delight
think I'll have another cup tonight

Peppermint Twist

Blackest night is slowly fading away,
teasing earth with new dawn radiance, 
golden soon for the current holiday,
neon ferris wheel follows moon dance, 
novel and charming in the new old way,
like a vivid spinning top of chance.

Peppermint Soup and Unicorn Sandwiches

Peppermint soup, unicorn sandwiches, and broth for the gods.
I look at the second grader, who gives me giant pony-tailed nods.
Of course we can do it, I tell her. Have I ever let you down?
She begins clapping and dancing, and twirls around.

Unicorn sandwiches have unicorns in them? I fearfully ask.
She giggles uncontrollably, for I do not understand this great task.
Peanut butter and jelly, with sprinkles on them, she replies.
I should have guessed that. She makes one in front of my eyes.

Does peppermint soup have anything other than peppermint?
She glares at me with her little girl stare, as ebony as flint.
Water? I guess. But I am wrong she lets me quickly know.
We have to sprinkle glitter in it she says, a big smile in tow.
