Short Entree Poems

This island is my garden,
As its gatekeeping warden
I protect all of which is splendid.
I forbid thee entree for what you did....

Entree to the innermost beauty,
Yet ruminating thoughts of mind,
Experience link soul to soul,
Simply visualize realities of life!...

A little levity
    goes a long way
      I always say

    Though naught but play 
    oversalts the entree
      spoils the day...

I ordered my whole gourmet restaurant staff
to serve my pals Molly and Max Giraffe
I humbly have to admit
the vegan meal was a hit
The tall order sparked a jaffy good laugh

Eau de vie in flavor
Epicurean rich
Edible poetry
Entree aptly described
Exciting the taste buds
Egg cream tongues the sensors
Exclamation sublime

Tom Turkey's doom again was kept at bay

   He wasn't picked for Thanksgiving entree

      Hunkered down to keep his head

         His pals were victims instead

            Tom survived to live for another day...

HURT (Acrid Soul)

Hurt
Lingers
on her tongue.
Lips unable
to adjust. Prayers be-
came her remedy. Lips
slowly moving; causing her
tongue to breathe yet again. In hopes
of not tasting another acrid
soul as he. Now, oft to the next entree.

Free Speech
Miracle Man
5/1/2024

Disruptive behavior,
is not covered by free speech.
Those practicing this,
are guilty of overreach.

Nor is free speech a right,
to hate or abuse some.
It doesn’t make one an entree,
and some other a crumb.

oh …

such fine things be mine, and more
    
          should I slip through your cellar door
      
               yet all that wonder, sweet and south -
  
     but frosting to ... your melting mouth.

Time ticks acute to oblivion
From the melancholy mannequin to love’s aquarium.
I kiss the last clown, the last frown
Our hearts drift inconspicuously into the unknown.

Phantom world, feel me!
Star by star we flick, to find the final Crown
May all be free, may all gain entree....

Listen to poem:

You wonder how I'd treat you
If you had a date with me
No doubt I'd be enamored
So in that case let me see

I'd take you to a restaurant
Go from entree to dessert
Then finish with a cheese plate
And a brandy wouldn't hurt

But the main thing I would do
Just spend some time with you...

There was a she-ghost in Elly's pantry
                           She loved cold meat and a lavish entree
                                       With the pass of dawn
                                        She ate a tiger prawn
                        And jumped over the broomstick with a gentry...

Recipe
Just a small portion
The muffins
The dressing is made from scratch
A little sample in a muffin
Tastes great
Small plate
Cranberry Sauce toppings
Elegant style
Worth the while
Delicious in size.

Homemade
In a fancy dish
Sizeable amounts
12 dressing muffins in a pan
The dressing style
On the entree list....

Roaming over the wheatfields
     their joints a-cranking
   insecticide fog blankets the air
     Oklahoma dustbowl bleeds 

   Relics of a bygone day, all angles they move
     ravaging fields and pests, pests and fields
   wheels of progress a-churning away
     blackening golden grain
                 ~ pests' entree, noonday...

Before the virus came
    My family and I would
    Go to Italian Restaurant
    My favourite entree
    Is always mussels
    Only as an entree

    On special occasions
    This dish is served 
    in different ways
    My choice cooked
    in white wine
    Or in an oyster sauce
    Either way its served
    I knew I will enjoy...

Clouds dance in the sky
As the golden rays appear
Your lights are glimmer
For such beauty that you bring
I wonder where you are from

as you bring the love,
the sorrow has melt away,
And it warms my heart.
Oh sunshine spread your magic
the laughter of dazzling light.

'S-kitch-ical Thoughts'


Instead of scraping the N.E.W.S.
off the top of what they ‘feed’ us,

We must remember to check the kitchen
to find out who has ordered the meal!

Instead of trusting the cooks
that make each entree ‘seem’ delicious,

We must remember to check ingredients,
to see what, if any, is real!

It is nothing new
that America is getting fat
(LEFT and RIGHT)

Being One’s self
Written: by Tom Wright
2/25/2013

We can’t all serve the entree 
Some must serve the salad
Some sing country & western
Another will croon a ballad

While one may like football
The next person likes to fish
There’s nothing wrong with either
It’s just each person’s wish

The point I’m trying to make
Is that no two are the same
That it’s OK being one’s self
If others we don’t inflame

Foundation founded on;
Superficial societal stares..
Teenagers teary truth...
Of a perfect purging prayer...

Supermodels and stars...
On a pedastal of peers...
Engorging every entree...
Appauled at how they appear...

Succulently still unsatisifed...
Baking another bite...
Indulgence is imminent...
Famine is nil a fright...

Nauseated near spent...
Dieting with no drive...
Vomiting every morsel...
This is how I feel alive.......

It's so hot this afternoon 
Pink tongue sticks to silver spoon
Ice cream melts despite the cherry
I drool to cool dish with strawberry.

My brunch made is hot fudge cake
With ice cream in the middle 
And a grand strawberry milkshake
So tasty that makes me giggle

And the entree fried ice cream 
with fried pickles to dip 
All so very cooling for teeth
The sweetness stays on my lip.
