Short Jujubes Poems

Is one of the many movies I've yet to see
Let's rent it and pop some popcorn.
And get some Cherry Pepsi and Jujubes
Or your favorite movie time snack...

Blueberry vanilla swirls,
slow-changing in the transient breeze
and tidal flow and ofttimes
capricious light. A citrus topping
sparkles after rain, with
jujubes of humanity clinging to their place
within a mesmerising kaleidoscope 
of sumptuous sweetest fantasy....

will he get there
can he get where
will he take the stairs
climb down the wall

beat on the sides
walk to the sore 
for a pack of jujubes
slap his knee
and guffaw

hold a harmony
in his jaw
crash the Queen's party
fly to Zanzibar
on a star
honor God from
way afar
I never know 
that's my secret

one two three
my all time favorite
fancy and bright
pretty to look at

delish on my tongue
sprinklings of sugar
squishy between my teeth
yummy on my lips

spearmint delights
refreshing jujubes
perfect molded leaves
three two one

~ sweet nostalgia

what in a nut makes it so attractive
to crush the velvet green under the shade of the tree
a stone in hand I go for it and produce the taste of milk

and run for the apricots on the next tree
the jujubes will wait as they are not ready
for the pilferage of a good child

sated I lay on the dunes and start digging the tunnel of my future
going nowhere but the abundance of china as I remove the tags 
from the porcelain in my life...

Sunshine smiling smarties on sugary snowy slopes
Eating éclair evenings where everyone elopes
Cotton Candy climbing with cascading caramel
Delicious dancing donuts devilishly desirable

Jumping jealous jellybeans jousting with the jujubes
And tasty toffee truffles taunting the tootsie roll tubes
What a Wonderful Wunderbar World of Mr. Willy Wonka
A virile victorious vision before we get to the Vodka.
