Short Inedible Poems

Naked pink American hotdogs, inedible

    Their popularity, barely regrettable...

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....

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.

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

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

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!

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

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....

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!

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...

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....

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.

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.
