Premium Member Love

Liquid kisses from licorice lips
Onyx lover with thick heavy hips
Vivid love language lavender whiffs
Ebony clouds of hair at finger tips

Happy pumpkins
Apple dumplings 
Licorice sticks
Lollipops to lick
Owls hooting
Witches looting
Emerald city dreams
Every Halloween 
Needling together fun things

Premium Member Sleet

Sliding down the sky a frosty scene 
Liquid ice frozen on licorice street
Every drop dancing falling so free
Engaging my tires as I’m driving 
Terror and delight as I’m sliding

Premium Member Licorice

Black licorice stick tastes very good.
Each day for three weeks ate all she could.
     How dumb could she be?
     Very dumb was she —
with its toxicity like wormwood.

Premium Member Waiting for the Ice-Cream Truck

A growing melody - the ice-cream truck beckons!
Russell's Bicycle Shop - a new bike, I reckon!
At Licorice Pizza - hit record on the shelf!
A stork on a mission - a grandchild, him/herself!

Premium Member Beautiful Day Dance

Confetti kisses parade happy face
Joyful tears baptizing licorice lips
Not only was a beautiful day made
But heart is doing butterfly flips
Grooms and bridesmaids chant
Newly wed husband and wife dance

Premium Member How Sweet It Is

Gumdrops and lollipops

Cotton candy and cakes

Creamy pudding and pies

Double malts and milk shakes

Taffy and licorice

And every ice cream too

Chocolate and caramel

Are half as sweet as you

Parade of ideas in word or phrase
Onyx thoughts like chocolate cake
Eager emerald ears listen to hear
Teal thrill words like happy new year
Riding licorice lips like kente kite
Yellow words finger painting life!

Orange Kraken Smile

oh ye
jack-o-lantern moon
with
your
jolly bloodshot eyes soon
time for treat-or-treat
with
your
wicked Kraken smile
thus
we meet again
to witness
the
black licorice
dripping from
your 
orange pumpkin mouth

Crystal Clear

She cajoles my soul without the need for a comfirming hold.

Our conversations are intelligently, respectfully, and seductively full of eloquence.

Her soul fits my mind's definition of sexy.

Her lips recite the language of sweet licorice.

(Senryus about crushes)

I'd never say to 
a guy "Oh, and by the way,
have a crush on you."

I'd never stalk my
crush on the Internet - that's
what our friends are for.

Never let a guy
treat you like licorice - you're
a red gummy bear.

Premium Member Halloween Treats

The highlight of the year for dear old Dad

     Was Halloween when treats were to be had

          His modus operandi

               Son you collect the candy

                    Snickers for me - licorice for you lad

Premium Member A Myth and Proverb United

A melt down occurred high outside
That ended a fabulous ride
Let's love licorice
But recall Icarus
Whose fall was preceded by pride


Author's note: Licorice is dark and an allegory for the bad things one needs in life.  We know that bad is stimulating, but too much of a good thing can have the opposite effect.

Premium Member Licorice

Labeled as a healthful 
Legume, this root is sweet
Like sugar, but with a 
Long-lasting, stronger taste!
Lollipop licks of it
Linger on my tongue. I
Love its unique flavor!

Premium Member Love Or Bust

Look in my eyes what do you see
Onyx skies or blue sea
Vision of love dipped in reality
Emerald touch that ravishes me

Orange sun that rolls downhill
Red moon that inspires me to feel

Bright optimism swallowed like pill
Universal love a licorice thrill
Satin sheets that feel like cloud
Tender touches making us shout

Licorice

There is no candy more lonely
Than a stick of licorice
It's a love hate affair where you do or don't care
That doesn't dare come with a makeup kiss

You can chew on that fact some think nasty at best
While some smile with blackened teeth
You either do or you don't, will or you won't
Think licorice is a scrumpdillyicious treat
fun

Premium Member Simplicity Sk

Satin sheets and pillowcases 
Indigo images in mind races
Made my blue bed so in it I lay
Pleased to be ahead of red rat race
Lullaby sweet like licorice stick
I’ll dream sweet of angelic kiss
Cinnamon scented candle soothes
I wear your shirt when I miss you
Though we’re apart I carry you within
You are my heart and best friend

Premium Member Loneliness

Licorice language lead the way
Onyx thoughts that go astray
Neon smells from melodic memories 
Emerald tales of what was meant to be
Lavender hankie folded so neat
Inside a pocket it smells so sweet
Never could use it for anything 
Except for fond memories it brings
Soft lips that sip kisses and cling
Suddenly looking back is to dream

Premium Member Every Day

Any night
I serve up my fat
Drunken weary soul
In sweaty verbs
To the gods
Not real. 
I sit ever fatter
Licking prayers
And books of prayers 
Pretending 
I am a genius. 
I deal cards
In a game I've not learned
And coat candy 
In licorice kisses,
To dance, for naught,
And spark no more
And leap so short,
For eternity and a day.

Premium Member Undeniably Blessed

she never ever disappeared
e'en in those lonely years
when childhood trauma spewed up fears
inheritedly ghastly.

she wrote notes gifted, answered phone
no matter what was goin' on
the night my mind was nearly blown
she lent licorice care.

Iridescent to the max
bffl and that's a fact
(remember sharing stolen snacks?)
my sister, Rach, I love you.

Premium Member Mental Health

Moth wings aren’t as bright
Even when against sunlight
No one fears the butterfly 
Tears smear the maddest cry
A man is scorned for life
Let him morn let him try

Holding on to tender insides
Energy driven by his pride
Amethyst pain from his brain
Licorice lies drive him insane 
Talk to him about mental health 
How to listen how to help

Premium Member Skeleton

Someone shadowy sleeps in my dread head
Killing creativity splashing toxic love red
Entertaining licorice demons with words said
Lurking even cursing cutting me as I bled
Engaging ebony eyes that want me dead
Thrilled by demise of dreams once spirit fed
Onyx paradise where hearts go to die instead 
No flesh no rest for the skeletons in black bed

Premium Member SUCCULENTS-

I've tasted her lips 
weave kissed
 her saliva was sweet 
sugary like licorice
 juicy plump
 like bubble gum
 like a butterfly sucking nectar 
Plum lips sulligan
 succulent
 skin soft warm vibrant 
the nectary sweet 
I receive her sugary liquid 
from after her lips
 my beloved kiss aah! Just so...
Succulent

Morbid Angel

Morbid angel
With that crooked gothic grin
Smearing licorice lipstick
On the licentious lips of sin
Morbid angel
Whimpering salacious sighs
Snagging the souls of men
In your fishnet thighs
Morbid angel
In sable studded noir
Matching spiked collars
With your high heel scars
Morbid angel
Black lace over ashen skin 
You’re late for school again
Much to your parent’s chagrin
