Minced garlic with tomato,
onion and pepper,
thick, cylindrical pasta
Mozzarella topped--
seared until golden.
Robust yet
sweet!...

Boiled eggs with the centers mashed;
To yolk-dust add salt,
Mustard, mayo, minced pickle
Fill whites with mix and
Top with olive crowns;
Spice-sprinkle…
Joy....

Purring and Reoccurring

When my cat was purring
Seems to be reoccurring
With him words minced
Then me rubbed against.
That was so reassuring.

Jack and Henry never 
rub me the wrong way.

Steam just 'til leaves turn bright green.
Toss with minced garlic,
chopped olives (kalamata)
grapeseed oil, almonds
and fresh lemon juice.
Feta topped.
Yum!

Tell it like it is, man
     no holds barred, you know
   Don't beat around the bush now
     go where eagles go... 

   Take off your gloves, bare-knuckle it
      words not minced, nor wit
    Let all hell loose, come what may
      shrink not from death's ballet...

What will this world continue to make of me?
What will I continue to make of myself?
And the melding henceforth.
Minced meat, chopped liver.
Or a strand of grey pearls.
These days it's a new way of life.
A new way of living.
Oh, I just had a senior moment.
I need to dye my hair....

Minced memories come
   Fading, coming to... fading-
      I don't know what's real

   
   Dragon shadows dance
      In the graveyard of my mind-
         No longer lucid
          
   
       Tell me where to go
          Tell me what to do! I fear-
             My sanity lost...

JOEL

 I go through you
weaving 
strings of finely minced clippings

But, on the green Elysian 
I will devour you
I will show you mortal wings
cunning lips as sweet as money.

Through the eye of the needle,
trough the open lids of desire,
I will thread you poems of harvest....

Usually a pound of ground
with black beans abound
pintos are good for your heart
cannellini start
pepper, tomatoes
green chiles
mix!
      
Jalapeno, seeded, minced
chop one onion rinced
six cloves of garlic thrown in
use olive oil then
chili powder blend
spice a lot
HOT!...

I guess I'm not good enough for you now
so once again I fade into the dark unnoticed
and unwanted
I've grown used to it by now
being of the wim of others like some childs toy
only loved in fits and starts then abandoned till
the next time someone wants to play
and hope that it isn't minced with cruelty or worse.
It's hard to change from what you know...

The ABC’s of Grudges
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

Argument begets contentious disagreements.
Endlessness forever grinds.  Harrowing.
Illusion, joyfully keeps laughter minced.
Nonetheless, ominous paltry quarrels revile.
Scorn traverses unquenched.
Victory's wailing xenagogue- (guide)
Yesterday zaniness.


(Simple solutions:  Love one another and forgive as God will forgive us… or not.)...

Minced Words

Hello , what a nice day ,It seems perfect in every way.
          The clear blue sky with  those popcorn clouds is something to celebrate.

And the view of the valley is quite amazing really, the stream,the grass,and the trees.

And the air is so crisp and fresh ,it smells so good to me. 

 Being here makes me want to stay and take this all in.

Oh, I'm sorry, what's your name again?

empty stomach
eyes bagged from lunch
lingering taste 
of the hangover hunch
cotton chew 
of minced inner cheek
dead cigarette cloak
stains of the meek

dreams of a bedside fountain
flow through
the dry mouth dream
hopes for buildup to swallow
to flush the liquid unclean

ache of head
drool glued to the bed
a familiar vortex
spins out of control
sudden slip
of equilibrium
force dishonest tears to roll...

Comedians often make us laugh,
Oh! Some of the things they say.
Merry are their amusements,
In every sort of way.
Comediennes have that special appeal;
Of similar ilk to the comedian.
Much is of frivolity you know;
In 'turns' each others jokes they steal.
Charity of each is rarely seen,
Often as not on the television screen.
Minced words are their bread and butter.
It really doesn't matter for that
Comic Relief that splits the spleen....

The genesis of a hundred-mile odyssey
A happy little caravan of running crows
Everything is alive, sky wind, even the stones
Hearts taping time, glittering with hope 
Morning comes the murder has thinned
Smiles replaced by blood blister and grit
The flesh is battered, bitten and minced
The mind has played a million dirty tricks
The odyssey has demanded its toll once again

Finish line, just beyond the shimmering glade
where a jingle of tears and medals await....

No, don't give me Monday
it's worse than a screaming nightmare,
which cannot be rescued
by some lethargic motions---
Darn Monday is a curse I want 
to exorcise, even if it's stretched 
into miles of burnt out stress!
Just give me Wednesday,
the middle of humdrum's week--
by then the piles on my desk
can clear my reckless mind 
by pressing delete---
all corporate words snuffed
while I rock the good ole blues!

They do spill down,
that I can see,
but my dear honey bee,
are they tears for sure,
or is that mascara and rouge,
minced and churned,
by the teary like substance,
that came out of your eye,
when you did laugh your stomach out,
in a nasty snide on some poor bloke,
as suggested by your facal expressions,
that do not grieve of mourn,
I think you are more corn,
than forlorn,
so they are tears but not sad tears,
for a visage like yours,
they would come out in years....

No End
The roar of the rockets the scream of the shells
The blasting of the bombs a war orchestra
Only complete with the human side cost
Dead minced broken bodies once people
Now all thrown over the landscape
Like so many dead fish cast upon the sea
Little remaining except an example of war
The ultimate cost now of no names dead
Your friend was killed over there by a mortar
Your lover over here by a bullet all are the same
Dead in this war like the last and the next...

In our heads
Are graveyards
Many

Everyday we visit
Every night
We weep

We remember
The one that
Kept us up 
Pushing fluids

The other
The car crash
His entrails 
Hanging out

The young dad 
Bike vs curb
One early dawn
Liver minced

The pancreatic
With cancer
All yellow
All dead

The new baby
Floppy like slinky
No sound
No hope

The breast lady
Besmirched
Figuratively
We failed her

We stay up
Like tonight
Secretly
Crying

Why?
