Tanka About Corn On the Cob
succulent and sweet
kernels unattainable
stuck between my teeth
hastily reaching forward
A toothpick will do the trick...

wild eyed pancake

invented by grandma
two kernels of corn for eyes
delighting her grandchildren
sometimes a mistake makes the best memory...

Popcorn: My go - to Snack
Kernels popped in olive oil,
Butter-drizzled and
tossed with salt or Parmesan
or candied as balls!
Versatile delight
in puffs of
white!

Popped Out
Perry was a popcorn-popping pro
He himself announced it was so.
He dipped kernels in a potion
Which started stomachs in motion.
Now the whole town is on the go....

The Two Cobs
The two Cobs at the beach made a stop
Each then laid out their blanket to plop!
But they somehow forgot
That day's sun was too hot-
Quickly, Madam Cob's kernels did pop!

Popcorn Words
Corn couple lies in beach with bodies bare,
smooth skin soaks in midday sun’s scorching glare.
His lewd stare makes Miss Cob groan,
heat bakes anger in her bone,
kernels of sizzling words pop up in air.

Corny Valentine
corny valentine, you are my favorite said hawk.
lend me an ear, honey, but do not stalk
shuck on down to Iowegian town
give me a wave, a smile, not a frown
corny valentine, you are so neat
with your rounded kernels, ever so sweet....

Watermelon Ride
Juicy, plump rings of summer.
Spinning round and round -
While bedecked with kernels of dawn.
What luck I have found!
Unique in your venture-
Riding with the whirls of sweetness.
Please take me with you!
As we radiate in our greenness....

Servitude
Creep, oh centipede!
A malady to my cornea.
Like kernels a decoy
In my Eden realm.
I'm infuriate to civility
Just us serenity intervene.
Serendipity smock my bones
In solitude.
Here it is, your servitude
Of search....

Work
Work.
Toil.
The pain I put in the ground.
For such a precious thing.
Corn.
The family enjoys their meal.
They plant their leftover kernels.
And wait for me to tend to them.
Work.
An endless cycle in which happiness is born.

The Grind
Wanted from the world,
The debt of responsibility
Preys on her mind
And weighs down her soul,
Clinging sticky
Like a spot of amber tree sap,
Cavalierly touched,
And afterwards offensive.
The grinding stone of expectations
Moves stolidly round and
About the kernels of
Vanishing freedom,
Ground into the grit
Of everyday existence....

Nebraska Winter Is Anticipated
Nebraska has turned herself gray early this year
A desolate cornfield stands torn and disheveled
A cold front comes in from the north
She whips a few strands from the stalks
An anticipatory shiver goes through the field
An empty feeling of winter saturates the ground
Deer have decimated the last few corn kernels
Nebraska winters rival those in Michigan...

Hungry Hoodlums
Crumbling crinkly, cracker crumbs
into salty, seafood stew,
Mother made our midday meal.
Fast for favorite food we flew.
Gluttony Glenda gulped a glass
of Linda's lovely, lemon tea.
While Will wolfed down whole walnut meats,
carefully crunching kernels free.
"Savages", sister Susan said.
"Politeness, please," our papa pled.

Rubies and Pop Corn
They dipped our being in dirty grease
added a fist full of kernels.
Life turned up the heat
now-one by one we're popping out
little puffy hatchlings -
sweet songs in our beaks.
Growing feathers and talons
ready to fly now
on updrafts
of silent song.
Ready to ignite the world
that spit fire on our nest
one by one we'll pluck the rubies
from all of their bloated chests....

Words For Sale
Whom could it be, this professional Poet
selling his blood for a few kernels of grain
Whom could it be, this professional Poet
pandering to others in search of a name
Whom could it be, this professional Poet
drunken talk-show appearance, stumbling again
Whom could it be, this professional Poet
the strongest of liars—the weakest of men

Too Hot To Handle
Lounging on the beach supine
With Rayban sunglasses on.
At last, summertime is here;
A hot one at that!
The heat could roast a chicken;
A sun too hot to handle!
I am a corn on a cob;
My kernels popping!
Hey, friend, aren't you feeling this?
You're a corn on the cob, too.
I don't see you popping off!
What's going on here?
