In the wooden bowl
Persimmons on the table
Next to the fruit cake
Half eaten on a large plate
Leftover cheese and crackers

The waves
are packing
empty sea shells
with sound.
I listen
to what is leftover
which is loud enough
for me.

They burn lots of foods;
sells leftover at high rates.
Fear from mighty Lord.

A big bowl of treats by the door
Is impossible to ignore
When the kids have gone
I eat a bon bon
Which turns into maybe one more

Sequel in nature
Sowed in spring
Ripen with summer
And fall’s harvest
Eaten by winter
The leftover
Seeds
For the next sequel

bricks spent in Spring
a scant leftover

I throw my words free..
hope they land and find your eyes..
feelings leftover..
never spoil only missed..
must be used before there lost..

"dishwater soup"
before the soap
take the scraps
from the plate
place in a pot
fill with water
and bring to
a boil for
tomorrow's
leftover meal

Good to have morning-after greet ya
With gourmet coffee and cold pizza.
If leftover guests are crashed on floor,
Give 'em a slice, and show 'em the door.

As I walk
These winding roads
I look down
A leftover of
Childhood
When I stepped on a frog
Its guts came out
Ever since then
I watch out
Where I put my feet

Leftover dreams
aimless look for resolution;
Leftover dreams
flicker with technicolor streams;
Salvation perhaps destruction,
they beg now for absolution;
Leftover dreams.

Thank you, our noble turkey
Unselfishly nourishing
Reveling above tofurkey
Keening song full flourishing
Elevating meager meal
Yielding leftover appeal

Sip of my life from the brown paper bag.
Brown like down town, or clear
like tap water, it doesn't
f*ckIng matter, I'll drink it.
I'll drink the swill from leftover
cans at community college parties.

I lost a child
She was climbing trees
One blink
And my eyes open
To writing leftover love poems
Stolen from years I can't remember
And no one cares to read
Their true masterpiece
Lost in the trees
A young girl used to play in

no one may enter and
no one may leave but here
no one is a stranger
the leftover bread of feasts
tossed out onto the street
claimed by birds and beggars
a generous host should know
that any wall is only as tall
as its watchman

Do the best in all you do
With all your strenght and skill
Let your work be clean and true
Giving your heart and will
Using your time wisely too
With none leftover to kill
So at the end of your working day
Your work is worth your pay

Ottava rima
It seems at least one dorm room is the dwelling of a bum.
I visited my son and saw big piles of grungy clothes.
leftover fast food, open garbage--things a mother loathes!
Sloppy sons so seldom seek to scour sickening scum.

When eating leftover dressing
That was a good main course for lunch
Only compliment receiving
You could patent this honeybunch
He forgot potato salad
Left it out of his extra praise
What Rocky did say nots valid
For he was in a state of craze

You and me, we are energy;
The leftover remnants of stars
That helped create us and planets as Mars.
And when we die, no need to cry
For I think then we become ourselves again.
But if you want to fear some great ill
Be here for the "Great Crunch or Chill"

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.

Exorbitant-
extortionist,
self-orient-
red-royalties with,
oil based rents...
Ten-tentacle dresses,
head-level-leftover-ness.
"Instead of shedz we're getting into the mess,"
the fled are those who made precautions press,
loftily next.

The wind makes it snow
From leftover
In the trees
Pockets turned inside out
Emptied
Of confetti
More often, Lord, I pray
After the parade
Has passed
Born with envy
These days I sleep and sweep
The streets
With my own dreamy
Broom
And umbrella.

forgot to ask for honey
what's a chicken nugget to do?
maybe marshmallow creme
A-1 or ranch dressing
caramel or chocolate drizzle
leftover guacamole
cheese queso beats plain ketchup
just off the top of my head
on the tip of my tongue
