These Words Are Gold

Words march
To a kettle
Drum beat,
We are told

They bring
Clarity to
Thy soul

These words,
I cherish
More than gold

Tea kettle whistles;
As the life evaporates,
The brew soothes the soul.

Premium Member A Cup of Tea

After dinner I boil
A kettle of water
I choose the T
Pour the water
Then add teabag
Make my T strong
Putting honey and lemon
To enjoy my tea,

Weak Ego

A weak ego 
frequently goes ablaze
In the dark kettle of criticism, 
And becomes more cold.
Without its companion woes 
shrinks and breaks in silence.

A Watched Pot Never Boils

A watched pot never boils
But this pot’s callin the kettle black
Keep watchin and it’ll burn your eyes out
It's a good start
To something I could never finish

Hansel and Grettel

There’s a story bout Hansel and Grettel
And the last time that they tried to meddle
With a crafty old witch
That they couldn’t ditch
She cooked them up in a fine kettle

Pot and Kettle

Bernie Sanders should never assume
Donald Trump will not lower the boom
I have no wish to spoil it
But both squat on the toilet
Wondering why they came in the room . . . .

How To Make a Chocolate Kettle

Light the oven with a spark
Wearing paper gloves in the dark
Add water: a litre
From a distance of a metre
Add a rampant stinging nettle
Then its ready: a chocolate kettle

What An Adventure

“Wander Lust and The Need For Adventure”

Showered in soft kettle-drums
Music softly eddies
To purple robed hills
Melody wanders toward 
The streaming chant of 
Mediterranean Sea.

Yellow American Spirit

The smoke tasted similar to
tea-kettle steam, mixed with
the least cozy of rustic
woodland incenses, forming
a cruelly mellow and inconsequential
flavor, bland to mind, body, and spirit.

Fret Forever

 Placid pond I leave,
             now a fine kettle of fish
              Lake lacks Life I grieve.

Red

My heart fizzles; like hot kettle, 
glows red and burns hands 
trying to nestle.
Love is hard when life is heated,
 So stay clear,
that your mind won't  get fogged
 with this heated steam.

Trump Will Meddle

Trump May Meddle

In many lives Trump may meddle
Won't wait until smoke does settle
More time is beginning to bide
After he has lied and lied
What next is cooking in his kettle.

Blowing a whistle out of nowhere,
a warning at the witching hour.
It’s meant for a rooster’s crow,
not a moonlit silence.
Tea kettle alarms
start an upsurge.
Shift your eyes 
to the
void.

Premium Member FLY OFF THE HANDLE-Cliche Poetry Contest

When the kettle screams,
I become the steam~
a ghost unspooling
from its copper ribs.

Bones click like stove dials,
skin hums with the hiss
of a pressure gauge
punctured by a hit and a miss.

Kismet

Kettle of destiny
Kite that pervades the sky
King of nature’s highway
Kills the lesser lamp's light
Kiln that forges the seen
Kindles the dying glow
Kind and unkind to us

Vultures roam about a hundred miles a day In search of carrion, survival's at play Not the thrill of the kill But for tummies to fill Their kids called kettle, quickly gobble the prey

Premium Member A Fine Kettle

Grasping a plot 
from my store of meddles
I spread, 
near the sink, 
verbs and nouns
I've found.
Cleaving each 
to a size
then heated derive
a fragrant misty theme.

Premium Member Birds Baked In Pies

Birds baked in pies, babies rocked out of trees
Kids all falling down from some dreadful disease
Young Hansel and Gretel
May wind up in a kettle
What tormented minds write stories like these?

Premium Member Calling the Kettle Black

An Eagle whose name is Don Henley

To media isn’t so friendly

     He wrote “Dirty Laundry”

     Left press in a quandary

But sneers at the poor from his Bentley

  Our ex-Pres is now laying it all bare
  At Joe Biden, he wants to spit and swear
     Pot’s calling the kettle black
     Barack, take another tack
  You look like hell yourself with that gray hair

Warmth


A kettle whistles in the kitchen.
Sun warmed snowflakes pond
on the surface of a frozen lake.
