Short Main Course Poems

deprived --
main course only!
no chocolate ice cream,
when you sup at the restaurant.
no treat....

Blood was toasted
  in a buffet of hate

A violent main course
  —whose dessert was death

The crazy turkey
Prancing through the open field
With no fear of death.
He knows the time of the year
Soon he'll be the main course....

The grand old king of Sweden's  
Appetite needed a lot of feedin,
Two cows and a horse
Were on his main course,
His appetite is no longer needin....

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....

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.
And I'll do the dishes.

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....

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

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.
Turkey, move over.
Side dishes
RULE!

And I am thankful for contests like this one
that lets me talk about food, wonderful, food!

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

(King Of Prussia Pennsylvania: January, 2020)...

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 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"...

your hand brushing mine

those long smoldering glances. . . . 

my appetizer


the taste of your mouth

a smorgasbord of kisses. . . . 

the scrumptious main course


the perfect climax

sweet like death by chocolate. . . . 

our luscious dessert

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!

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.

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....

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

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....

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...
