Tall Power forks pray-full tongues

Chews the tender will

Gnaws bones of  fragile spirits...

Sitting crosslegged
on golden sands
feeling a jasmine
scented breeze
in our hair
as we ate ice cold papya
with wooden forks.....

the beggars
              collect and eat
        sans dishes, no forks and spoons
            What the affluent reject
            and do not consume...

Mrs. Sara Kendrick
Despises vegetables mixed by forks
She has the title poetess
The mostess and gracious hostess!

There once was a woman from York
who used just a knife and a fork.
She tried to eat soup,
but forks do not scoop.
I’m tempted to call her a dork....

So far, I tried apple a la mode
Trained my tongue to catch sugar's festoon
Upon tines, losing sweets I was owed
A fork won't cork my dessert boon
Now I eat my pie with a spoon.

Now that 
we’ve processed 
the whales 
on their gurney
and salvaged 
some profit 
from rainforest trees,
maybe it’s 
time we stab 
forks in our ice cream,
turn cones 
of attrition on you & me....

Lemon with smell of cheese and a sausage scented cake,
And the cheese which tastes like a three day old steak.
For such an exotics taste take my advice.
Just stop to wash a forks and spoons and knives!...

Birds fled from the sky
Cinder of clouds dry for rain --
The lightning forks night

The landscape is bare
The water recedes to deep -
Tsunami rises

The earth belches smoke
Thundering hooves char the leaves -
Volcano erupts....

There in a land foreign
Folks did not give us forks
Instead they said...
 "chop the food with sticks" 

The sticks stuck to my hands...
l could not eat
From across the table a voice said ...
"well then, use your hands instead"...

Burgeoning storm clouds
quickly envelope
the fiery red sky.
Lightning forks to ground
shattering the night
as thunder rumbles.

Culinary resonations my senses please
Blowtorch trimming the tapering of cheese 
Cremated lactations dance on the fan’s breeze
Crab forks impaling young peas 
Lightly dusting salt of the seas
Grindings of exotic teas
Marinades my taste buds tease...

Because I still wait... 
To grow from my hand, 
My chest, my eyes, 
Three poems,with long legs, 
To amaze the death, when
Comes as a divinely guest to picking me, 
I who do not hold but  a name splinter with sins. 
...
I tighten  my grip,on my heart forks....

hiking Penman's Pass
along the river Nith
the current strong

white water over shallows
along the river Nith
damp the air

chilling to the bone
hiking Penman's Pass
to the forks of the Grand

gypsum veins run deep
in Paris legacy
hiking Penman's Pass...

Some will find out who they are
then write of what they’ve found

And some will write to unmask
who they are as they expound

One spawns introspection
and a self-deliberate tone

The other births a magic ride
—whose terminus unknown

Earths red crust shudders
Skyline crackles purple forks
Famine feet flurry

My willow tree scorched
Lunar eclipse eternal
Barefoot beach walk dream

Volcanic ash views
A black season treelines crunch
Whimpered solo bark

Stagnant water tea
Pungent roots and herbs galore
Humanless abyss...

This is where the road forks,
our path long since ended. 

I’m stuck in place, 
caught up in the idea of moving forward.
Constantly muling over retracing my steps,
in hopes of joining you once more.

And I’m torn between wanting to wait for you,
and choosing a new path of travel.

There's a cute gentile pig lives in New York
Pleasingly plump, she's a fine piece of pork
   Shows a Rabbi her knuckles
   Rabbi's knees, they do buckle
Says, 'I'd eat you, but I've just kosher forks'

Bordeaux birds are forever bright
