SOUL SNATCHING JOBS

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...

When forks appear and choices weigh,
And doubts arise to lead astray,
The inner wisdom lights the way,
On the right path where peace will stay.

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....

Everyone enjoying
Beers moving
Wines moving
Forks jazzing with plates
Music in the air
Dancing all over
Eating to the fullest
Boozing beers
Slow music in air
That is party time.

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.

Poison- Majele

Behold a festering feast 
underneath the sumptuous banquet
waking the dreary aura 
as we waft in 
ethereal flavor 
served in golden platter
matched with forks and daggers
luring each man 
down his pit

Choirs For Tomorrow

I must feed
tough as tough semiprecious form of 
quartz with banded colouring to 
the backyard fungi with gills on 
the bottom of 
their cap, and then
mark history by 
planting pitch forks around the 
front lawn.

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...

crane flows over the water
ripples with forks upriver,
a kiss of a daffodil mirage
the flower's fleeting visage.

in the gust of a hurricane,
a pumpkin ornamentation
batters a door of a stranger,
they answer, but no one is there.

it did happen....

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...
