Premium Member Sweets

Our love was so tasty and sweet
now it's sour and inedible. 

I should have chosen another 
selection of sweets.

Instead I chose a mesmerizing 
unpredictable bit size.

A Bengal tiger has an uncanny hunch That he'll encounter a tasty beast to munch Finding an inedible Prey with fear he roars go away! Then runs to seek a more suitable lunch

Premium Member Lemons

The lemon tree is very pretty with a sweet flower. However, it has an inedible fruit that is very sour. The juice needs a lot of sugar to make it sweet. The unadulterated pulp is something we cannot eat.

Alchemy From Scribbles

My scribbles scrammbled on a tatty bit of paper
I vomit ideas
           Before they vapour 
They appear inedible mountains of mess
     I churn and turn the illegible scribbles to words that truly bless

Premium Member Incredible Inedible

Everybody poops
but mine don't stink
What the heck, am I supposed to do
they think I'm full of crap
but I have to swear it's true
'Cause when I'm on the potty
An arrangements on its way
Then I let lose some colon fruit  
and it smells like a bouquet

Premium Member Ugly Produce

Hold up your cup of cheer, my friend!
I’ll hold your hand, and squeeze. You wince.
Your life - it’s not to save, but spend.
Work hard, its yield! Spice up with quince!

Chastushka Poem

Quince – inedible raw but transforms into an aromatic and delicious treat, when cooked.

Sayyidina Ali

Mockery law spoofed boycott,
Survived the beast of a desert tooth.
Hunger answered by inedible dinner goth.
Skin and bones as the cloth.
 
Under sieged bloodthirsty pavement,
There are no rules, full bombardment.
Struggle means risking the beguilement.
Why be a slave when life is enfranchisement.

The Witches Grail

marred this mead of honeyed brew
yet flaxen still thy rotten spike
and spoil it so inedible
but haste unto her charge, she will

and grail be this austere cup
to carry off ignobleness 
and watch it drain through gullet of
a wrongsome hound, the cad, it must

and mete thy charm, ye witches grail

Premium Member Peanut Butter and Jellyfish

Jellyfish, Jellyfish
What are you good for?  
Not good for the belly, you litter the beach, ...your tentacles reach
right through sand and surf, to sting our bare feet!

Inedible you are
I'd rather by far
bring me a jar
of jam that is red
some good peanut spread
to smear on my bread
instead!

The Crush

Atop an inverted pyramid
A seismic shift in brain chemistry takes place
Channelling all mojo into a spiralling funnel
Bottom of it a mirage of an alluring treat
An inedible slice of chocolate cake
There a chocoholic dwells

This mid-crisis coping mechanism exits in vain
Worshipped till another fascinating self-revelation sets in

Premium Member I Made the Strangest Collage

I made the strangest, weirdest, most inedible collage
Out of sticks and pretzels and things from Uncle Petey’s garage
I glued on nails, screws, feathers, ribbons and fur.
The fur made a noise, much louder than a grrrrrrrrrr
It was still attached to an animal who now had my head
In a vice, between his teeth, there was a bear claw. I am dead.

Premium Member The Faerie Ring

In an Elysian wood, flitting faeries among the trees ponder their magical seeding, for a fairy ring they’ll build, within the greenwoods emerald sea. Moss-laden ferns feathery light, help feed faerie magic late at night growing fungi, puffballs round, a faerie ring, inedible magic.

                      How many layers should you peel off an onion?
                      I often stomp in the salad
                      yes, until it is inedible
                      In confidence _ to risk

                      Trust must always lie with the bottom up
                      The gears are spinning
                      Call me naive
                      I believe ... until proven otherwise

Me' Fury

Me’ Fury

Me’ fury, ensue, inasmuch of the bullies; my halo es leaning, me’ grimace is beaming, my hand on the hilt, mahound be at awe, es me’ duty

Sheathe the’ inedible reach, lid thy albinism duress, your forehead me’ claymore to rest, snipe fell manual take topheth, down to the cove shall descend 

Coffer, tricely  Mankind, pending another one come, donion debar de devil, Lord with the wade, or bis mein Woden o hoard

Sharks

My brook has grown 
into an ocean. 
Pearl-spot fish 
have disappeared.
Instead,
sharks skulk around. 
They see 
my pocket,
not my heart.
They’re 
democratically undemocratic.
Poetry is inedible.
Profit is 
the sole default
in their thought-mechanism.

Shark morphing
petrifies me.
I wake up 
from the dreamy life,
losing my serenity
in their serrated presence. 
I turn
a tiny sardine,
ready to be swallowed.
