Astray mind
Doer blind
RUIN its call
on fire's jowl

A starlet who once thrilled the cops
Developed some droopy jowl chops
A Facebook beauty
She's still a cutie
Thanks to software filters and crops...

With your mouth to stop my sleep
I be as silent as the grave
Cheek by jowl
I hunger for the truth
unlike this silent appareil
that devoids the last  spiders return...

dawn’s
cheery
red cherries
by the bagful
cheek by jowl they munch
dangling the stem, spitting
out crunchy seeds (tooth breakers)
channelling the healing power
chalking up juicy rufescent bites
at dusk, couple’s cheering cerise cabernet

GOOD LUCK MEAL

Hog jowl fried so crispy brown
Black eyed peas abound
Collard greens from the truck patch
Sweet tea down the hatch
Candied yams as well
My, do tell
YUM!!

Limerick : Once a rich Janitress rode on a broom

Once a rich Janitress rode on a broom
From cheek to jowl her looks spelt dire doom
She thought she owned the world
And the world owed her gold
So she chewed gold and lost gums and bloom.

.

       The silhouette

           her brow

           her nose

            her lips

           her jowl
          that neck
     those shoulders

  what peeked out of
         the covers

     what I watched 
        as she slept
  in the pitch of night...

We are the withdrawal
on  a dappled day
White Vultures Swarm
bone dry is the day,
Now our lives are hasten
We are cheek by Jowl
Giant lies interlude
Secret tunes of cabbages and Kings 
burgled routes to strawn away
In the last peek of love
A giant hope glistens to espy...

she waits
patiently for the ones sheee
loves but CAN NOT touch

once they were
small with mittens red and boots
rubber that waddled through the snow

now
older - with life’s
crest on each jowl

she stitches her ghostly fingers that shall catch no more tears
watching
their every bow...

TEENAGE GIRLS


In the noisy café giggling
In their seats opposite me wriggling
Teen-age girls lean cheek-by-jowl.
Quiet as a cat’s footstep on a mouse prowl,
Their whispers to one another
With cupped hand-to-mouth to smother
Are so silent you don’t hear anything.
How do they speak so softly anyway?
Who would want to  listen anyhow?...

ravenous vultures roam
cheek by jowl
battle lanes prolonged
Wrestle the weasel
in the tall grass
Laura dances
her hips throng
Lost paradise where did it go ?

We are born through golden forests
I will be as silent as a grave
The Son of Pan
appears in heavy guise,
beneath the pond
 he hears foremost of our melancholy
at a white aspen we chant...

They could slaughter you like a fowl
For their women you gave a scowl
Hurt parents met with priests to how!
"Vicar, in football, it's pure foul?"

Don't end up in their stew a fowl,
Your scowls yield the face of an owl;
It's your death with you cheek and jowl,
For your own mum was spared lewd scowl...

Yes, please, leave their women alone;
It has kept hurting every bone....

Slugs and snails line the highway,
Munching, crunching, drinking fumes;
Early in the morning, late at day.

A tunnel of black ahead looms,
Feasting on diesel, ready to growl;
Into the maw a lucky one zooms.

Compacted inside the giant jowl,
Hooter poised, horsepower stalls;
Bodies meet with metallic howl.

“Fetch my skimmer, freedom calls,
Flying, leaping o’er all that appalls.”...

What social distance, at sunrise?
Cheek by jowl,no surprise
No greedy cops yet on patrol
Throwing awry, infection control

Elsewhere the experts crunch the numbers
As the hungry nation slumbers
A hundred  deaths amid too many feelings
Negative test results for three thousand shillings

What is true, what is false, we know not
Which book have we sought?
Wisdom, the beginning of all understanding, real
Makes conventional thinking surreal...

Dribble down our chins
Flee now our present sorrows 
Scribble down our  sins
We may resent our tomorrows 

Wish the alarm would snooze itself
Yet wish we were counting ewes
Wish our charm would excuse wealth
Net fish with thieving crews

Spend us sweat, spend us time
Cheek by jowl, nose to the grind
Make us debt, make us dime
Shriek and howl, clock rewind!

So we have lost
All of yesterday's joys
At our great cost
Chronos makes us his toy...

Tho join holly the sample is data
Diurnal, in cheek by jowl site
Intimacy is over deeds by, in bliss
Gloss your eyes of tender 
Special in upon pulling out love

In sharp finding of a sett
Than winds not mussing yours hear 
As mailing from the heart
Known than you’re sensed, a site
Where to chair of peace

Up bliss carry in your soul
Known than galloping for 
Thy site own tho “by foresees ”
Endo vowed soul: in heaven
From the soil tho’ free swing!...

The great dog down the street,
Hellhound I would hate to meet,
With its coat of brown and black,
Huge teeth and big clawed feet.

Dark growl devilishly deep,
Makes my skin shiver and creep,
Eyes alight with evil glow,
Body crouched ready to leap.

It escaped its yard one day,
Lurked baleful in my driveway,
Stood and would not go home,
So inside I had to pray.

Now I think I hear the howl,
Of the Hellhound so foul,
Over the air every night, 
He raises his mighty jowl....

What does the sp stand for in Spam
Wonder how many and what words start with sp
Bought a can of Lite Spam
Sliced thinly floured and fried in hot vegetable oil
Cheap meat but what is this in this can
Hummmmm! Pork with ham and chicken
Ah! Chicken that is what is the sp..Shhhh! Don't tell
It isn't ham at all chicken and pig ear, nose, jowl
Well maybe not even chicken__ maybe its the feet like I had to eat as a child
If you have never eaten boiled chicken feet, your life is kinda dull...
