Short Bubblegum Poems

I'd trade them all -

          Each fling I've flung

               For one more taste ...

     Your luscious tongue....

A rusty old retro vintage bubblegum drop machine
Positioned next to me as I am seeing above me
Spherical lightbulbs and strobelights of flashing rainbow colours....

pink is a bubblegum
child
wearing a sheet of 
pink skin
when a stranger
bows a bubble,
she will sneak up
on and
bursts it
she 
giggles
at the sound of 
POP!...

She was pink.
Like, the color of
Bubblegum,
Princesses,
And Pixie Dust.

Mommy died.

Darkness came.
It entered her.
Depression,
Anxiety,
And Fear.

She's Red....

Wintergreen bubblegum, 
Alaska spearmint slick
Saliva cool trickling down
Hot like Kansas big red
cinnamon tongue
Fingertips 
Lust & summer fire,
US nowhere and desire...

with this bubblegum brain 
i chew on my thoughts 
till i get an idea 
before the flavor is gone 
roll around on my tongue 
open my mouth 
say what i have to say 
with this bubblegum brain...

Yellow

Yellow looks like the bright morning sun
Yellow sounds like the bells 'n London
Yellow smells like a fat rosy plum
Yellow tastes like sour bubblegum
Yellow makes me feel like havin some fun....

Algo se esta tramando
There's trouble brewing
Goon of doom-Tornado
Bubblegum chewing
Children bluing
Wild World Swing
Zing!!!

Its all you see everywhere,
Pavement hugging,
And beer blankets,
Puke as far as the eye can see,
A sea of puke for a world,
Where the latin name for life,
Is jokus sickus,
Oh and the bubble gum,
Is from the 80's ego bubble....

Pink as a baby’s bottom.
Pink as 1960’s Bazooka Bubblegum
Pink as Barbie’s Dream House
Pink as a 1959 Cadillac with chrome tailfins.
Pink as a perky, pretty, popular, pizzazz-y petite preteen.
We nicknamed her “Pinkie” which made her laugh....

Heartbeat octopus fern
Tropical bubblegum endless dunes
Baby's breath pomegranate zest for life

Wonderful wisteria  
wild blue yonder nest
Ivory sunset ice cap
The future?

Some of China's Daughters sit in line,
their tongues in bubblegum
they knot their hands
in their skirts
and pop!
bubbled invitations inside
their legged tomb
and then toss
their mirrored face
in bins
and bury those eggs till they are black!
and a delicacy of
the China express:
the female cancer....

it's hard to understand
the value of money
when cash is dispensed
from the likes
of a bubblegum machine
at every street corner

True love 
Grandma's hugs 
True love 
Pearly Gates,  fresh cool grapes 
True love
Tropical bubblegum 
True love 
Chocolate flavored castor oil 
Old leather boots 
Grandmas cotton purse 
A candy striper who wants to be a nurse 
True love is homebase 
God's amazing Grace 
...true love

The past like bubblegum
Stuck to your shoe
Slowing you down
When it clings like glue

Your soul spreading gunk
With every stride
That awful mess
You try so hard to hide

Take the time have a seat
Take your shoes off
Take a look at your soul
And scrape the crap off

Roll it and poke it
And check it with zeal
Then finally flick it
And see how you feel...

You are the gum at the bottom of my screwball.
 
You are the action figure in my happy meal.
 
You are the x-ray glasses from my bubblegum wrappers.
 
You are the decoder ring in my cereal box. 
 
You are the bumps and buldges that fill my Christmas stocking. 
 
You are the sole present under my tree.
 
You are the best surprise life has offered.
 
You make me the happiest I could ever be....

floor creaks
footsteps echo
cans of shelves
feeling small
I follow my older cousin
he buys me
Beatle bubblegum cards
the outdoors calls
luscious park and playground
near my school
greenery abounds
a walk back home
secret conversations
I say Paul
and he agrees
aimless clouds drift
lambs and lions
and daisy chains
always a rhythm in time

Granny had a yellow cat Matty Sand-arum
                       She was fond of Cherry Blossom and bubblegum
                                       Cherry ached in her tummy
                                          Bubble is double balmy
                   She yelled out scummy gummy and fell into the scum

If I could have a dream type of car,
Riding really fast and far,
It would be a miniture slugbug,
Quite small but really nice and snug.

This dream car would be colored bubblegum,
So noisey people know when it will come,
Bubbling with loud songs to sing to,
I wish all of this could be true.

I would love this type of vehicle,
It would just be a miracle,
But right now I'm kinda out of luck,
Because I'm stuck with a rickety, rusty truck....

The youngest daughter 
in a family of five
liked to hide in the closet.
Quietly grinning.
Toys on her shelf all fallen –
Bubblegum stuck in her hair.

With no teddy bear
She fed ducks in the darkness –
Her family went seeking.
With children at home,
She met her friends in the street.
They laughed loudly together.

I am not sleek cheekbones
Or chirpy cheerleader chants
I am not bleached blonde platinum
Or bubblegum pink
I am neither New York heels
Nor barefoot California

Don't classify my science a deceiver
Don't judge my faith a non-believer

Cry me no unreal tears for Twitter stick figures
I prefer the flesh of a well-fed life

I am not glossy lipstick and lingerie
I am the unmade face, the mismatched pace
The full grown, real sized woman he wants - every day.
