Raspberry Poems

Raspberry Leaf Tea

The more spines I swallow.
The more rattled it goes.
Tea leaves behind smells.
Like broken pianos.

Raspberry leaf tea.
And someone giving a bike for free.
The more miles I ride?
The less taste there is cried.

Raspberry leaf tea.
Unreal as…
The musical key of a pencil tapping.
Or clouds being pointless.

Crumpled up.
The rule is you have to eat them.
Steeped and harmless.
A taste.

Raspberry leaf

Raspberry Jam

Something red, 

Something sweet,

Something i'd wanna eat

Something that would help when im feeling down

I'd spread it on toast,

then take a bite

and when im done, 

I'll spit it up

I did this because I do not like it

However, 

I can dream I do.

Convince its true

No matter how much I dream

But reality its just cruel 

I do not

Premium MemberBiting Rain

Rain is biting the building’s raspberry roof
Making a meal hard like a cold blue tooth
And the wind blows yes hear it wail
A lone leaf floats like a boat with a sail

Lightening strike as if bowling
Knocking down pins some rolling
Striking tree tops even some poles
Hitting some crops even some souls

You can survive lightning strike 
Just the

Premium MemberSnow in the South

Jack Frost got me hustling 
To clear my car of excess snow
Bare brown branches bustling
As  frigid blue breeze blows

The forecast was right or wrong
As I sit in the car heating it up
On the radio red Christmas songs
Sing along makes freezing fun enough

I watch a parent play with child
Shaking tree to sprinkle white flurries 
Warm

Premium MemberRaspberry Roses

I shelter aside raspberry roses
when the thunderous skies speak to me

They come to me and they hold me close
hiding their thorns along the way

These roses are few yet loving
they form a happy family 

I watch them play and dance 
and so many times do the giggles

But the main dragon rose is my favorite
she touches my

Premium Membergot it

Aha! Got it! Our young gray mouse grandson said.
Holding a plump ripe raspberry above his head.
The perfect one! He told everyone who would listen.
The rest of the berries had his saliva which did glisten.

How long was he in there? We asked his baby sitter.
It kept him busy for six minutes, and his litter.
The rest of

Premium MemberRaspberry Ruins

In a world bejeweled 
with tainted trinkets,
and feigned flowers,
we follow the 
wailing waves below 
whirling wind,
like secluded silhouettes,
stranded on the
cusp of chaos,
unable to find the sparkling
streak of hyacinth hope-
between dusk and dawn. 

Perhaps there is a
reason why I stopped
rewriting runes with
cashmere conclusions, 
as I’ve long been 
dreaming of dahlias, 
on weathered willows,
oblivious to the 
dancing

Premium MemberRegrets Of The Raspberry Moon


When cyan night's 
raspberry moon
is dipped in softness 
of the afterglows, 
I gaze at that glossy
first evening star between 
creamy fingers of 
my cherry palm, 
which trace lunar kins -
those angelic fireflies, 
twinkling and pirouetting, 
like a golden blush ~
serenading in 
lucid flames of 
lustrous patience. 
With comets 
reverberating 
in my wish, I stole 
the

Premium MemberLoving These Raspberry Scones

I have plenty of food said his host Mr. Dicing.
You can have warm raspberry scones with sugar icing.
Dragon was sure it would not be enough food for him.
But he liked this guy, so he took a bite on a whim.

It was gooey and warm and had a sweetness full of delight
Raspberry scones are amazing, the

If you have not had a rich raspberry mouse with whipping cream
You are in for such a treat said my friend Mrs. Molly McMeam.
She brought them out in goblets so shiny they had a gleam.
This dessert was delicious, delectable, a fat woman’s dream.

I smelled the fruit as I closed in on my prey
My arms would be all scratched up by end of day
But raspberries are awesome – fruity and pure.
Thorns tore me up, but it was worth it for sure.

Premium MemberLike a Chocolate Crust Raspberry Pie

like a chocolate crust pie
is the flat-topped ridge
of a nearby large mountain

Topping mountain pie
as far as the eye can see . . .
luscious raspberry pink sky

high white coalescing clouds
trim the twilight’s slice of sky . . .
dollops of whipped cream
