Short Caked Poems

sizzling on the road
crow is paid her payment owed….
little pan caked toad...

Caked make-up, etched brows,
Masks my face, hiding the truth,
Despise my blueprint...

The brown of the earth
caked on my hand
filling ridges too
where tools had rested
all morning
waiting forever
for the lunch whistle...

after the blizzard 
evergreens caked with icing...
topped with cardinals

A pleasurable, pleasing, pure pudding is being prepared
Covered and caked in cookie crumble
A really rampant, ridiculous but robust routine
Jammed jovially into a jumble...

Cassidy was a curious dog;
One day he walked into a bog,
Coming out, he looked about,
He couldn't see and began to pout;
Because he’s a sludge caked dog!

The man in the moon caught a big cold 
because the air was caked with green mold.
He made a big sneeze
releasing his cheese
and now he is bright green I am told.

Poor Fred just wanted to be a farmer
  But so cute, he morphed into a charmer
    All the girls saw him and sighed
    Barn-door-sized tears did Fred cry
  Exchanged mud-caked boots for 'Under Armour'...

Left the dentist with a swollen gum,
closed door by accident on thumb,
slipped on porch felt pretty dumb,
made snow angel for fun,
caked snow on my bum,
gum, thumb, bum
really
numb...

Candy of The Sea

When the Sea recedes
Golden sand precedes
A funny tableau is seen
After the ebbing green:
Nude, we find the task
On the sand to bask.
Caked on yellow sand(y)
We then look like candy!

LIKE LATER

Zero
Wind chill
Hear the wind
How it whistles
And I in my bed
Pulling the covers tight
I think of brewing coffee
The image of that steaming cup
Then I see ice caked on my window
Glance at my wife    asleep    and snuggle-up...

Crisp white apron  checquered teatowels
Whitewashed hands dance on the dough
Kneading bread scent of yeast caked skin
Tomato onion and corn simmering folded
Fragrance of  youth smiling whites of eyes
Beautiful  woman  playing  the ornate harp...

The tiny 
lamp's bulb is frosted: windows
are caked

with minute 
designs, not one of which the scheme
of a fist-

shaped heart,
beating like dragon-fly wings
within its life-

span of a day..
wings the tints of a fairy-
tale welkin....

...eyes puffy                       
      caked up with cry

Daddy ain't comin' home
       but 
         she don't know why...
 
grown folk sadness
         ripping inside her

       All she's known about lovin's 
               in the coffin beside her...

she remembers
each morning
caking it on her face

gave her confidence
made her feel stronger
stronger than she really was

like warrior paint
she caked it on
primed to face the day

Like the Appalaician mountains
that span high into the sky.
I don't want to do these dishes,
none of them are mine.

Baking sheets,
frying pans,
infinite cups and bowls.
Caked on meat,
wrinkled hands,
A clean kitchen is my goal.......

Cold and heavy.
Caked and shadowed,
by the mud of the earth.
I pray for reprieve.
High tide are the waves,
in the ocean of forgiveness.
The warm water crashes over me.
Mud that once coated,
now drips from my fingertips.
Weightless and clean.
Glowing from the light of the Son....

The Neediest
                     by Odin Roark

Still life furnished room
Broken chair
One dare not sit on
Narrow bed
Hard to sleep on
Table leaning
Daren’t eat on
Two-burner
Caked hard with spilt on
Out the window
Hope often stomped on

Someone’s present year 
Destined to be long gone...

Muddy shoes caked good and hard
Perils of sweet March rainfall
Sing my truth as springtime bard
Enjoy robin’s gentle call
Nature plays her favorite card
Daffodils against garden wall
I am no longer on guard
Sunshine sharing hope for all
Marching toward April forward
Tulip dances her way toward fall…...

She sits on prison shelf
legs broken and aching
ears pierced with thorns
eyes full of rolling tears
back bent due to torture
heart eaten raw with chilies
head covered with bandages
body wrapped in dirty rags
her spirit caked into powder
but her  will to live is unbeaten
many live in Sub Saharan Africa...

we dine on memories
chocolate caked cherries
glass of White Zinfandel
moment blowing a kiss 

I  s-i-e-g-e 

brief moments he is mine 

nights and days together
have always intertwined 
a gift of love divine

never letting it fade

Misty clouds fill my eyes,
After you stabbed my heart,
With a blade forged in hate.
Pain oozes out like blood,
But neither red nor caked –
Yet it outlives all thought.

I'm Just Dirt Encased with a Living Soul
I am a mound of clay caked dirt
blacken brown as the ground
God breathed His life essence in me
An immortal hole He's sealed
I liken Him an eternal being
Capable of reasoning and love
I am a mound of clay caked flesh of dirt

lush blue syringes
filled with caked on pus
she is not a mannequin
nor a living doll
nor dead space ajar.
She likes to stare
at the backs of her hands
as if at any moment
they would mutate into dust.
She can still feel
their presence
as she reaches out for air
one cup of blue air.
An empty yearning,
an empty gesture,
withheld alone....
