canzone oh canzone

Oh, rime con te, indovina cosa voglio fare?
Dì al mondo che ti amo,
come abbiamo sempre fatto!

perché modificare le parti migliori
è fantastico fin dall'inizio
tutto sull'amore e
sai che riguarda l'amore e io

Non mi dispiace dirlo al mondo intero
Ti amo
Non mi dispiace dire che ci tengo
Ciao
Ciao

Immagino di avertelo detto
hanno tagliato la parte migliore
non si sono nemmeno presi la briga di menzionare
il mio amore per te

trascorrere e dissolvenza

canzone oh canzone
cosa farò
dimmi; dimmi
canzone oh canzone
cosa farò

An Ant

An ant, lost, 
as the smell of its companions fade, 
it wanders. 
It wanders to tremble upon the huge slow roasted almond. 
It starts devouring as the others still in line, 
fading.

Roasted Faraway, For Pius Adesanmi

By Izunna Okafor



Beyond the shrubs of Sahara 
Lifted a munt of brainy bond 
Over the Mississippi of Ethiopia
Lofted a penner with his hunky thoughts

Across the bridge of a foreign land
Hovered a book of beautiful pages
Tightly enclaved yet as an Ireland
In a skull rounded in the clime of golden edges

Off the coast of Addis Ababa
Tears rang bell aloud
Beholding a star being staggered
In a nimbus of a faraway land 

A heroic pen was raptly melted
As the book of many pages shattered across the ocean
A nation's pride has become ashes
Making a wave in the hist of the deadly world

Oh! he was roasted faraway
Faraway his father land
Amidst tears in the eyes his nation
A great gem was ruefully tossed

The ashes of his fecund head
The cranes of his creative fingers 
The cremains of his eagle eyes 
Now pose lifeless in a foreign land

He's gone
A hero is gone
Roasted in a faraway land
Oh! He's gone forever.

With Poems Coasted and Was Roasted

With Poems Coasted and Was Roasted

Wrote many poems as along I had coasted,
And reviewed and ended up being roasted;
Meant to be,
I could see,
After they to Poetry Soup all were posted.

Roasted Chickens, Rusted Spanners

Africa, why are you excited so much
with roasted chicken you get each year
coming to you from foreign poultry farms
Can they lay eggs that can hatch, multiply?

Africans, why are you excited so much
with rusted spanners you sign for each season
coming in to build grass-thatched huts
Can they build industrial complexes in Africa?

Africans, why are you excited so much,
with expertise you invite for every project,
coming in waves of hawkers, advisers?
Can they build independent African economy?

Roasted chicken, rusted spanners are exciting
to Africa with eyes covered by fogs and mists

Premium Member The Old Bird Got Roasted

Mum roasted a ptarmigan for tea
But the meal didn't satisfy me
It was a scrawny old bird  
The taste was pretty absurd
So I'm off to the chip shop quickly!

On Monday I was using a random word generator and it came up with Ptarmigan which is a word I had never heard of. I've since discovered it's a bird which is native to Canada but they can also be found in Scotland

He Was Roasted

Though an elephant
He placed himself
on monkey’s oven
well roasted he was
down gullet he went

Premium Member Roasted Chicken

The smell of a roasting chicken,
for a Special Day.
Dinner - not just for Sunday.
Mouth watering taste of
soft white meat and rich brown gravy.
Dark meat juicy with flavor.
Might be stuffed or unstuffed
adding to the scent of a roasting
chicken - Hmmm.

Roasted Crab

Sullivano  asked the roasted crab
                             Have you come from biology lab?
                                           And If you do
                                         Put on your shoe
                               Go to the sea you need a rehab

Bo Feasted On Roasted Silkworm Seed

Bo feasted on roasted silkworm seed
                                    And felt in his stomach a stampede
                                        Newton's third law of motion
                                              A dollop of e-motion
                                    A commotion, on Po's head he peed

Roasted

Jewel Food Stores - Illinois



 Looking at that roast in the cart
 I savor its taste even now.
 Yet never thinking that for my part
 When I will cook it...or even how.


 But I take it to the checkout lane
 With all the other items that day.
 Finally having to leave it...to looks of disdain
 I didn't bring enough cash with me...all to my dismay.
