Short Molasses Poems

coupled in a kiss
of molasses: tongue senseless
wedged on a piercing

if i drank coffee
i'd ask her to come
swim in my cup

she's better then cane
better then maple
she's brown

Chocolate melting moments
Coconut snowballs
Some semolina crunchies
Molasses cookies
A cherry whirl
Ginger nut
Break !...

A tomato & spelt soup
seasoned fresh herbs with
grated padano cheese
toasted sesame
muselli molasses
with skimmed milk
Slim!...

In one labor of Star-nosed Moles
Traveled a slower toothless cow
The last in line, all that she sees
Is sore gums and molasses now!...

Shoo-fly
Shoofly Pie




Shoe-fly pie is a southern favorite, 
made with molasses and named for its
tendency to draw flies....

Summertime coats your tongue like molasses
Lingering kiss of strawberry lasses
Sipping lemonade
Beneath pastel shade
Bare toes wriggle in beach-salty grasses

My Mind With God Up Will Marry

There are times that I do toil and tarry,
When up my mind with God will marry;
Like molasses,
In my classes;
His Bible would become my dictionary.

Freed from scorching Iraqi sands,
Healing was as painfully slow,
As watching cold molasses flow,
While remembering all I know.
But patience rewards its demands,
And I may ever hold your hands.

And the sky brightened and the moon sang songs.
The mood setting fraught with many more wrongs.
Anne wore dark sunglasses.
Music’s like molasses.
The full moon kept her up all night long.

On St. Patrick's Day raise a few glasses
To honor all Irish lads and lasses
Let's down a cold brew
My friends one or two
Come morning we'll be slow as molasses

This is start of my poem that over 8,000 other poets
have read.

Be A Better Putter

Was with naughty iron that is a nine,
Which some say has become benign,
That balls seemed slow as molasses;
Did need to take a few more classes....

Boston’s deadly awful Molasses Flood happened in 1919.
It caught people unaware, they were floating in a stream.
Houses were crashing down, it was a horrible terrible scene.
Hundreds lost their lives, so could no longer live their dream....

Open 
And all that entails
Is the world outside this box
Where opportunity knocks
Open is fear
Black molasses beer
Open is a crutch
When life is too much
Open is stale  
The rusty nail
On which we fall impale
Open is our falls
Having the balls
To rage against the bulls...

Collards cornbread piled
On pretty plastic plate
Red eye grits with cheese for taste
Nice slice of sweet potato cake
Black eyed peas good to me
Really did pass on the pigs feet
Entire brown biscuit with molasses 
All soul food fed the masses
Dig in enjoy with tea in glasses...

hampered by deep snow

progress slow as molasses

           in January

 wild and howling wind

opens the portal wide to

Blackstrap molasses I drink every day.
I've learned it holds anemia at bay.
One tablespoon quick stirred up
with almond milk (a scant cup)
makes my red blood cells cheer. Hip hip hooray!

The Time Matter continuum

The same edges of space 
Ebb the edgy ridges of time—
Like peaks of Everest the tops 
rising slowly like
reverse lightening
moves molasses-like punches up ward
blurring lines of compact matter into dry fluid matter
and what does it matter?
Where time ends 
Or commences....

Dark clouds and blizzards
Echoes of silence surrounds
Crystalline water hanging from branches 
Evanesce my breath into frozen still air
Memories thaw inside spreading like warm molasses 
Buried deep inside glazed eyes
Ever present for me to pull out and see
Reminisce I do now on what warmth used to be...

Mary skipped to a different beat
    You could see it in her funny feet
  One shoe off, the other on
    One sock green, the other brown... 

  She did her homework in the john
    TV, computer, and radio on
  Excelled in school at irrelevant classes ~
    Shining shoes of cloth and threshing molasses...

What we will possess
access to all assesses
about obsesses

what we have possessed
access to what is assessed
have often abscessed

by a thing passes
ate pancakes with much molasses
now passing gasses

It grows stronger
each moment that passes
It goes down easy
smoother than molasses.

It is much stronger
than iron or steel
Almost invincible
the way we feel.

You make me feel
deeper than I've done
There is no doubt
you are "the one".

You were made for me
in all that you do
Nothing can defeat
my love for you....

You are sweeter than honey
As fluffy as cotton
But, can be slow as molasses
Love like diamonds
Touch as delicate as a flower
Mind so inspiring
Talks with the quickness
Anger like the steam of an engine
Hugs so warm to the touch
Kisses as sweet as sugar
Compliments so smooth
Opinionated, yes you are
 You are my teddy bear!...
