Short Crisps Poems

Snowflakes falling
Winter air
Flaky crisps of powdery white
Snowflakes falling...

Folks,
God loves us the most,
Don't give up the ghost,
Enjoy the trip, before we're all crisps!...

Tomato and cucumber
Teatime sandwiches,
Salted Smith's potato crisps
And hot steaming tea-
With fresh home baked bread
Chocolate

Me and my friend Spider
went out for a spin in a glider.
We stopped off for crisps and cider,
then off to the shops
where I bought him some tops
and four pairs of shoes for a fiver...

Leaves dancing down the winter wind boulevard come to rest on white covers.

Time for a nap; a long rest for un-raked crisps; food for spring babes.

Nature’s re-birthing is always a hungry one....

     the picturesque
           yessss

   'round and 'round 
      at the very tip
my marshmallow crisps
             yep
   'round and 'round
        az the spit
        mine wrist 
           twists
         the stick

Right? Fine. Finished.
During what avail, what time.
Shake this, crisps on bread.
Ultimo Dragon, wrestling and fights 
Likewise, Mr Artist.
Package this, like fries.
McDonald's, eat much.
Yum, yum, delicious times.
Screwball sassy.
Likewise this....

finding dots, spots of glory
drawn upon satin-sheet-crisps
baked in apples and crated
to my inner thigh, memorized
by my tongue.  splashes of thought
delicately trace a lone pillow case
where once we swallowed smitten
waves of wet sounds and empty graves...

CONFESSIONAL

I confess to an addiction 
If I’m honest, no it’s two
On the scale of dire affliction 
They don’t count for much ado

So I’ll say it, take the risk 
While confessional I’m tackling
It is salt and vinegar crisps
With a large side of pork crackling...

Joe's song inspires,
But what transpires?
Door can open anywhere,
Does it lead nowhere?
None escape life alive,
Meanwhile, let's thrive,
None win in this pond,
None come second,
Finally, we're crisps,
Souls become wisps,
No use looking back,
No complaints, great lifehack!...

Lap with the tongue
and O with the lips
a could be fire higher

Where oracles rest
on rings of stone

Inhaling crisps out of
would be bodies,
out of wood be houses;
a life

While the rubbing sticks
twitch-the full moon stares

Burning memories of the
first man-his first design

and warmth-now mine...

Walkers crisps should be forced to comply
With trade description legislation
And stop disappointing their customers
With their artificial flavourization

When purchasing a bag of Walkers crisps
The refined palate of an epicurean
Would be gravely disappointed if they did not
Taste of Rambler, Hiker or Pedestrian...

Walkers crisps should be forced to comply
With trade description legislation
And stop disappointing their customers
With their artificial flavourization

When purchasing a bag of Walkers crisps
The connoisseur would think it a mistake
If he was unable to detect the distinct flavour
Of sweaty cagoule and Kendal mint cake...

Snow fell in dollops, in kite like laziness
too wet to stay white except in the margins.
The contrary air kisses each flake
melting each heart of ice.
Bittersweet the temperature falls.
Teardrops cling to greedy braches
reminiscent of hand stitched jewels
on a queen's gown.
The matted margin of lingering grass
crisps like spun sugar
snow flakes on the lash of night....

Little Bee in Hospital
Terrible news.
Nurse says I’m not getting any the better.
The doctor doesn’t know why.  
Says need to watch what I eat,
 “clinically obese” patients need to diet.
I’m stuck in hospital.
While People bring me all these gifts of food.
 Thank you for the cupcake, crisps and coke.
Sure, to get better really quickly

waning wits smirked
vying voluptuous verge
meagre mood metamorphose
saucy spell's sauce
hoisted hankerings hummed
pruning punctured pukes

dark dribbles dazed
rusty reels raved
rusticating riff's creates

lanky lusts birthed
callous crisps cremated
crunched crescendos hibernated

crumbling contractions cruised
bursting busty bruise.

I don’t have a basement
there’s no hills here to run to
no caves for miles around

haven’t stockpiled tins of beans
or tomatoes
or peach slices

panic buying hasn’t been bought
no guns no knives 
except cutlery

and I’m not a film star
getting out of impossibilities
saving the world with nice teeth

so I guess I’ll just stay in bed
or pull up a chair
watching it all eating crisps

there is an alien in our house
it is like a lazy louse
it lazes around all day
i dont know y
but it doesnt find a better place to stay
it turns up unexpectedly
it does not eat healthily
i want to shoo it out
because it has become stout
it likes to eat pizzas
and chips
it can finish a whole
pack of icecream
and crisps
mummy i m telling u
its not a lizard or a grouse
there's an alien in the house...

Yonder comes the morning new;
Dawns of the new November sun;
Autumn crisps and morning runs;
Such a crisp brisk newness shuns;

And as glory witness October passes;
Evening moon sets as the sun glare rises;
November dawns dainty biding crowns;
Yet uprising temperate scenic so frowns;

Misty the autumn crisps breezes;
Awaits December's icy so freezes;
Welcome November;
