A DAY ON THE BEACH CAN'T BE BEAT
A DAY ON THE BEACH CAN'T BE BEAT
written for "Choose One Image Poetry Contest," Mystic Rose, sponsor
Two ears of corn on the sand,
With no sunscreen, they thought it was grand.
They basked in the rays,
In a golden haze,
Till they popped like a snack, so unplanned!

Popcorn Words
Corn couple lies in beach with bodies bare,
smooth skin soaks in midday sun’s scorching glare.
His lewd stare makes Miss Cob groan,
heat bakes anger in her bone,
kernels of sizzling words pop up in air.

Popcorn Scatter Gun
Corncob lay basking in the sun
Sunbathing and having such fun
But it got so hot
His nib-lets were shot -
Popping off the flies, when done

beach day popcorn
sunbathing in style,
one stays chill, the other pops—
summer’s buttered joke.

Popcorn and Needles
I remember how
you used to roll
your popcorn popper
across the floor grinning
and not paying attention
to where you were going—
and how happily you
pretended to drive
the rusty ’49 GMC pickup
I was still trying to restore:
Rosie, we called her,
after Rosie the Riveter.
Remember the didgeridoo?
I bought it for you after
we saw a performance
of a didgeridoo quintet
from down under.
And

Popcorn: My go - to Snack
Kernels popped in olive oil,
Butter-drizzled and
tossed with salt or Parmesan
or candied as balls!
Versatile delight
in puffs of

Popcorn
Please, dear, join me tonight -
Perhaps, for a delight,
Popping, exploding loud,
Puffing up like a cloud.
Probing in a fresh bag,
Precisely, no time lag,
Pull a ring. Make me proud.

With my friends and me, they all strike out

Get The Popcorn Ready
Oh, the 2024 U.S. Presidential election race,
as I ponder on it with my head's empty space.
Our nation is so out of joint,
our political differences at a breaking point,
with name calling rife in online blogs,
I would rather listen to bellowing bullfrogs.
Republicans, Democrats, Independents,
liberal, moderate, conservative, it's malevolent,
people attacking each other,
well, if I had my druthers,
I'd nominate

Pancakes at 608
My stomach growls but I don’t want to eat

I ate yesterday one meal at like four
Why does my body want to eat more
I’m told by my doctor eat more meals
I don’t have a lot to eat for real
Not that I can’t choose to shop
I prefer to pay artists and
