Short Cantaloupe Poems

you are 
always welcome
in this place
now 
take a slice of
the 
cantaloupe moon
when 
your heart says 
the 
bountiful yes...

a madcap poet
eats nothing but cantaloupe
prose never sweeter

an everyday sane bard
stomach sets off a raucous
he is starved for words

Watermelon, honeydew
   Cantaloupe and peaches too
With Nature's nectar all imbued
   ~ Yet none as sweet as you

Tea steeping, coffee brewing
   Glazed honey-carrots stewing
Their aromas, so inviting
   ~ Only you do I delight in...

A man of Wyoming ate cantaloupe                 
While watching some galloping antelope       
To his aunt he said                                              
You must truly wed                                             
A right proper woman just cantaloupe...

have heard latest scoop
do join poetry group
then should have some soup
(take ride on a sloop)
(stand under a stoop)
(around start to troop)
(be thrown for a loop)
(clean poop from a coop)
(clean up all the goop)
(then jump through a hoop)
(then eat cantaloupe)...

Constipated onions
Immaculate cantaloupe
 Collard, mustard, turnip greens
 crabgrass eating artichoke distant 
Are the carrots potatoes fried display?
But the watermelon 
Praise on the tomato mustard says
We be going to have ketchup today

Desirable dawn

Silhouettes, shapes, 
  clouds backlit
   by a distant sun
  rising slowly 
      in the east
   Cantaloupe swatches,
       painting introductions
    of a desirable dawn
  Draping the sky,
    illuminating my heart
       to a brand new day
                with you

 
Good morning Soupers...

    Pickles in tea
      black beans with cheese
    Surely no way to
      a man's appetite please

    Carrots in lard
      cornbread that’s hard
    Cantaloupe feathered 
      and tarred…  

    His fiancé looked nice
      but she couldn’t boil rice
    So he settled for a slice
      of toast ~ freshly charred

How happy are orange carrots!
Are you upset by how colored they are?
Does it tear you apart to see the carrots so chromatic?

I cannot help but stop and look at brown walnuts.
Are you upset by how dark-brown they are?
Does it tear you apart to see the walnuts so brownish?

How happy is the wooly cantaloupe!
Never forget the soft and addled cantaloupe....

A beautiful winter day 

On a chilly morning
as the sun peeks over
a distant horizon
tinting hazy skies
in faded cantaloupe
and butter cream swirls,
a tree line silhouette
stands guard, ready for
the start of another
beautiful winter day,
as I sit sipping 
a hot cup of coffee
waiting for you to wake,
so that I may start mine


Good morning Soupers...

~

I gaze at the sunrise,
it’s apricot view
While spending my morning
just thinking of you

It’s glow on the heavens
a magical scene
Of lemonade wishes
and cantaloupe sheen

Though still it is muted
an off color shade
As something is missing
this dawn now displayed

For until your beautiful
smile comes my way
This morn will be merely
just another day

Starting my day 

~O~

On a misty morning
as the sun peeks over
a distant horizon
tinting hazy skies
in faded cantaloupe
and butter cream swirls,
a tree line silhouette
stands guard, ready for
the start of another
beautiful autumn day,
as I sit on the patio,
sipping a fresh cup of coffee
waiting for you to wake
so that I may start mine

Good morning Soupers...

PRODUCED WEDDING  FIASCO


If cantaloupe
Could elope
and marry a honey dew melon

What would happen 
If a cabbage out grows the garden
As crabgrass and dandelions rapes the fruits and vegetables 

All this and inclement weather
What's the matter
Cantaloupe cancels the wedding?
Why! you may ask amongst the dandelions and crabgrass
Because they cantaloupe

Flavorful horizon
Yellow sun hot like white onion
Cantaloupe moon
Sweet as butter briskets
Trees those greens like broccoli
Valley deep of soup stirring gravy
Baked mounds rain drops
On golden sands risen
Flavorful world
Delicious earth
Spinning matter like in a blender
Containing mountain tops of chocolate
Flavorful world sweet as caramelized sugar
Edible matter

Lemonade soaked sunshine
Peach sweet heat
Watermelon waves taste
Of graham cracker sand
And nestled pomegranate pebbles
On strawberry beaches

In pineapple green grass
Mango daisies dance
Marshmallow clouds dot
Blueberry-smiled skies

Tangerine sorbet sunset
Kisses plum freckled stars
Sprinkled through blackberry night
Under the cooling cantaloupe moon

Until blushing raspberry currents
Awake the honeydew dawn.

certain minds can be juxtaposed -
one next to the other,

such that
a line -
         can feel…
	                   - like a spike!

or a cantaloupe-
	      … 
		 - can graze.
-----
	   
there are sectons in our mind -
	   

that can run,…
		            parra
                         		
		                    llel!
   

                   - and swim!



they can swim…
		 inside (?) themselves…


they can -




        fly....

The smell of cantaloupe is enticing
Yearning to feel it’s smoothly texture
It beckons me to it with an unworldly call
The slippery flesh is on my earthly skin
As I hold the fruit it embraces me,
How sweet! How kind it is!
I sympathize and crave it!
A plant that is living and purring
Communicates to us with undecipherable 
Decibels that can be heard from beyond our senses
But, I’m hungry; so hungry!
Tearing apart it’s flesh
It’s now a part of me; broken down to a
Molecular level....
