Short Bite To Eat Poems

I'm hungry with a grumble
I know because I stumble
So I need a bite to eat
That is sugary and sweet
How about apple crumble

Yes, I am collaborating with me myself and I, lol

Yes but, without the rich 
No jobs could be found
We would be starving 
Without one bite to eat

So let the rich be rich
And the poor be poor
Lets see whose soul
Will make it through

God’s open door...

The light
It peeks through
The Venetian blinds
As I rise to greet the day

It pokes
As if to say
“Hey you, get up!”
With it said, I do

This sunlight
It’s a gift from 
Heaven itself
Bestowed unto us

Ironically it appears
Pretty much the same time
Each day, as God opens His
Refrigerator to get a bite to eat...

Saw a pigeon pecking pizza
On a local urban street.
I assume that it was cold, but still,
A tasty bite to eat.

What a mingling of icons
Of the New York City scene – 
Most ubiquitous of flyers
And most common of cuisine.

But what would have made me turn my head
And cause me to look twice
Was if there had been a rat or two
To share in that same slice!...

Long ago I had a coroner friend.
Wasn't long before he shared his dark stories...
People passing away in strange ways-in strange places.
Distorted postures-a maggot's buffet.
People going for a bite to eat-never returning...
his confessions never leave me.

I shared my stories with him.
but they paled in comparison to his.
I doubt if he remembers any of them...
Does anybody remember a twig beneath a redwood tree....

I see him standing in the rain,
this debonair and handsome Dane.
He says, "I don't know if I dare
to ask a lovely rose, so rare
to join me for a bite to eat."
I answer shyly, "That would be neat."

Then happily we watch a toad,
playing leap-frog on the road.
We go to lunch and I take note,
that on his handsomeness I dote.
I giggle a bit I don't deny,
when he drops gravy on his tie.

Tonight I am going to die
Tonight i am going to die

I am so hungry
I am so cold

Will have a bite to eat
Then
Lie in the bathe for a bit

Tonight I'm gonna love me
Tonight, Tonight

the night I am going to die.

My skin cells fight the water hot
I fell them 
Lose

Losing with all their might
My soul removes
Light headed... 
Headed to the light

Her body lies
Submerged she cries 
Accepting it

The night she chose to die....

No matter when my flight is
On the day I’m flying home,
I am early to the airport,
Where I sit and write my poem…

And read my book or magazine 
And grab a bite to eat
And work a crossword puzzle
‘Til it’s finally complete.

It’s not worth the anxiety
To do last minute things,
For any slight delay (like traffic),
Oh, the grief it brings!

For someone prone to panic,
Having hours to unwind 
Leads to not one drop of boredom,
But a calmer frame of mind....

I watched a sparrow on the ground
With an insistent tweet.
Another bird flew over,
Bringing her a bite to eat.

This ritual repeated,
With some crumbs from beak to beak.
I Googled this behavior and
I learned I’d had a peek

At a fine display of courtship,
Not so different from our own.
Without the wine and tablecloths,
A seed had still been sown.

I guess it’s universal -
When it comes to pitching woo,
The sharing of a meal is what
Most couples tend to do....
