With no fear of death.

Soon he'll be the main course.

Santa's Discovery

This year dear old Santa Claus
says his sleigh will be drawn by a horse,
for when the crafty old denizen
discovered deer can be venison
he planned to use it as his main course.

Supper Inside a Boot

I jumped from the plane with a great big smile
But reaching the ground would be such a trial
A hole in my parachute
Meant supper inside a boot
The main course for some hungry crocodile

To the cook: 
Thank you for the main course at our beautiful Christmas dinner ...... 
now you can rest, dessert is on the table.

Red Rum Roses

They thought that I was a damsel in distress
Tied unto their railroad tracks, until I took a bite..
This main course a franchise her vanilla cream skies ?
Tipping a martini two cherries virgin hues; the grateful dead.

No Longer Served

Dinner almost over,
Dessert 
Becomes a sweet
Memory
When no longer served

Time …

Main course of those
Not famished 
By tomorrow,
Abundantly served
To those already full

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2015)

Premium Member Homemade Dressing

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

Buttery mashed potatoes
and home-style stuffing
which cradle creamy gravy.

Behind the Veil

Much of the time we’re faking it,
the airs we put on most false

Impressions made and set in jade,
green onions the main course

Our friends change out with stature,
as silver turns to gold

An alchemist’s dream, the grandest scheme
—our hearts once warm left cold

Premium Member Delicous Soup

Everything one says,
everything one writes
is a declaration of who
one is.  I put as much
effort into my comments
as I do into my poetry -- 
they also transverse the
electron world.  Missed
opportunity – Main-course
or a quick warmer-upper,
Soup is precious to my
table of wholesome Etiquette
and expression.

Tobie and Zombie

Tobie was lost in the desert of Gorse
                                 He found Zombie a smiling handsome corpse
                                             They hugged, made friends
                                                  On the warm sands
                        Zombie said,, " hey pal , you are my main course"

Premium Member Turkey Angst

There was a young turkey named Sam Whose favorite food was sweet ham. Though kept as a pet He could not forget Thanksgiving Day might be a scam! Though liked by the folks on the farm He still felt they might do some harm- Like, choose him to eat As their main course treat! Roast piggy would ease his alarm!

Shard

I am a shard,
Remnant of a broken family portrait.
Jagged and rough,
But oddly complete


I am a shard,
Shattered platter at supper.
Lamb is the main course,
A sacrificial offering to mend what was


I am a shard,
No longer complete.
My jagged edges
Sever all mutual emotion


I am a shard, 
Translucent and brittle.
My hard exterior is see-through
And I break easily.

YUMMY 


           Pickle 
           tickles
          Eager tongue tempted to taste.
          Can’t resist, but I make haste.

             So satisfaction.
            Need not to mention.
            After main course to relish.
             Hence in hurry to finish.

            Sweet Sour Spicy! 
             Oh,Yummy! I see.

Premium Member All the Rage

Touch, taste, feel, devour,
let sweat and tears couple;
Setting off a new sound
essential to your life,
my body’s your playground;

Touch, taste, feel, devour;
It’s overpowering,
flavor so aggressive;
Both the side and main course,
I’m cool with excessive;

Touch, taste, feel, devour 
bold bite marks build bruises;
A chromatic fraction 
violent plum surface,
all the rage distraction.

Caremal Appitizer --> Oreo Cookie Main Course --> Milk and Cream Dessert

CHOCOLATE hands slide over IVORY skin
making her quiver with his built up anticipation
His mouth blends to her
Like melting CARAMEL
His hands provide a corset of feeling
Sending Across Her Spine
A Squadren Of Shivers
He croons to her
Let me make love to you
as the moonlight shines in
over their bare skin
CHOCOLATE Dipping MILK 
Inside The VANILLA ICEING
Creating OREOS and CREAM

Premium Member Relaxing On the Beach

Oh, the taste of sweet mangoes 
While relaxing on a Caribbean beach.
Such a refreshing way to watch the sun 
Setting on the blue and calm horizon.

This sweet mango is such an appetizer 
Preparing the pallet for the main course.
Stimulating one’s stomach for a feast 
With visions of the coming dish, 
The main flavor of the day.

Oh, I like tasty mangoes 
The setting sun, and 
Caribbean beaches.

Full Plate of What

I fear still far worse is yet to come

As if this was to be compared to
something as trivial as eating
out 

Whilst persusing the multitude
of courses upon the menu

So pardon me my ignorance
or french whence i say

This to me is neither not the
dessert or main course

But rather what proceeds the
starter or horderves

Barely a teaser or taste
of what awaits

In ever increasingly amounts

Premium Member Happy Resurrection Sunday

I wish you and your family a blessed holiday as you enjoy all the good things on the menu. Let's see: help yourself to patience (the appetizer), a hefty portion of love
(the main course), good health (the carb), joy and unity (the green and yellow veggies), kindness rolls, peace (the dessert), and plenty of humility (the beverage). If you practice self-control you should be fully satisfied at the end of the day.
