Short Eggplant Poems

Coronet of leaves,
Dark violet pulpous seeds:
Oval royalty.

cut a hole through the table
and the plate of course
decorated his head like eggplant
waiting to surprise his bride
she always calls him an egghead
this is proof...

Peeled eggplant coins dipped in egg
Batter, well seasoned;
Thyme, basil, salt and a dash
Of oregano;
Sesame oil, fried,
On rice bed,
Wow!...

The fresh baked bread was served with every meal
Grandma's true secrets were never revealed
Eggplant lasagna
With hand rolled pasta
Herbs and tomatoes, she grew in the field...

Beautiful spring flowers  
Singing softly in the wind
Shouting with color so vibrant
Revealing shades of yellow 
Eggplant purple and orange
A reflection of Our Creator
Who invented their aura...

The egghead sipped his eggnog alongside his snack of eggplant and gazed upon the eglantines, it was not an ego-trip, just the basic adventure of living
enchanting in its essence he was delighted with his senses...

Eerily eager evil enigma elevated eleven renaming egg land.

Meager minis liked their initial idea eggplant ready.

Beefily blatantly weird in a diddly extra wiggly way.

I was ready, reved, relieved and willing my elevated eight.

black anklet twelve will enter evil eggland...

Caper with asparagus porridge,
accompanies fake ravioli
with supreme sweet eggplant ...
All sipped with a porto wine
of passion fruit ....
Hawaii vermicelli,
rubbing mussels
bread crumbs
crowded larva sections
inside peanut crumbs
portuguese cognac within
and pineapple with avocado

eggplant entity
encroaching or approaching?
earth moves slowly, unsure
whether to greet or run

eggplant entity
in all the solar systems
why did you choose this one?
have you always been here?

eggplant entity
you are gorgeous
know if we run, it is due to fear
not because we do not love you...

Emotions beg for hot soup.
The weary traveler lost-
Seeks a grounding warmth.

The bored wade in head first, 
Dodging carrots, and diving for the eggplant,
Wondering where the deep purple went?

The sick seek the comfort of clear broth-
It requires a downward thrust, the averted gaze-
A private withdrawal....

my love is chocolate
my love is brussel sprouts
my love is a big ole kid
my love is just another bid

my love is vanilla
my love is broccoli
my love is a whiny baby
my love is if, and, but, and maybe

my love is cookies and cream
my love is eggplant
my love is an embryo waiting to be born
my love is anticipation right before sunrise in the early morn...

It was moms birthday she loved eggplant 
I didn't hear the man as he began to rant   
I was a cooked child kneeling on stoic air 
in the back room I ate, without his stare   

a purple eggplant was devoured as I trembled  
wolfing it down, I quickly re-assembled 
no I did not care, mom wasn't there    
to see her child labor without fair, fare .

Eggplant stuffed mama sporting a big dress
With two twin rams – lettuce and watercress
Marched into the fray and demanded to be heard.
Some of the thinner women yelled “my word!”

I pretended that eggplant mama was as thin as me
Which is not so thin now that I am two hundred and three
But there is a difference for she is an eggplant, and I am a hog.
The rams were immediately chased downhill by an old farm dog....

Soul at ease to bruise the mind
eggplant purple, verbatim green
Resting insults once alive 
in riddles, screaming to be seen
On divans out on the porch
wasting feather's air
to be cooled on battered thoughts
we never knew were there
Sipping punch out in the sun
wrestling on the ground
with some bold "what might have been"
that always hangs around
It seems that when the soul's at ease
we should bolster strength
for in this rest an active brain
will lend debate at length......
