The Bountiful Yes

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


A Poets Food For Thought

a madcap poet
eats nothing but cantaloupe
prose never sweeter

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

Premium Member None As Sweet As You

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

Latest Scope Should Join Poetry Group

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)

Premium Member Indicative VEGETABLES-

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

Premium Member November

Need more blankets on my bed
Orange sun not warm but it’s bright
Very cheerful is a bird, guess he’s fed
Eating his wormy meal under blue sky
Made myself a fruity breakfast at seven
Breakfast was a ripe juicy cantaloupe 
Early isn’t my time, yet I’m in heaven 
Reading what you passionate poets wrote

Desirable Dawn

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

Premium Member Raw Carrots in Lard

    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

Premium Member Color My Love

This letter concealed with a Violet Grape Purple envelope 
And paper the color of Orange Tangerine Cantaloupe 
I wrote to my girl I felt Sapphire Teal Blue 
Along with the note I sent a Scarlet Red Rose too  
enclosed in the letter was a ring made from Amber Yellow Gold  
And an Emerald Jade Green charm with "I LOVE YOU" in bold

Premium Member I Am Orange



When tint of duskfall weaves through a cloud I spill lacquered paint on bays, ashore my gold-red shades draping sand. Endowed with citrine flame of sky , I soar: Call me ambrosia too. Just outside, nectar drips from marmalade nights honey and cantaloupe bless my glide-- O I'm there...when slice of dawn alights !

Eggs

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

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

Premium Member Cranium Composure Compromised

Calendar commences, conviviality,
kids kvetch knishes cold,
cantaloupe crappy,
kids constantly crunching cookies,
cake, candy.
Could kayaking, canoeing, camping
in Canada cure cantankerous
children's contention?
Can caddying at the country club
conquer kid's complaining?
chaos could conduce calamity,
kindred claiming complete cuckoo-ness,
summer sanity-stealing s'mores scavengers!

Just Another Day

~ 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

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

Premium Member Edible Matter

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

Premium Member Fruitful Summer

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.

In Theory

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.

Premium Member A Fruitful Fruit

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.
