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
Shoo-fly
Shoofly Pie




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

            The bright red and dark
                 Molasses shining
           Against the sky and sand
        Fine art stroll along the beach....

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.

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.

Fresh bread,
sometimes called “fob”,
very bland by itself,
but with peanut butter and jam:
pure bliss.

Aunt Bert’s
fresh homemade bread:
Molasses and raisins
weren't the secret ingredients,
just love.

Raccoons are in the ceiling having a whale of a time
They raided the kitchen and stole molasses and thyme
We cannot get up there, it is an enormous climb
If they were glitzy-loving crows, we could coax them down with a dime....

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....

when I was a kid
molasses sweets or "bullseyes"
were a tasty treat...
you'd get two for a penny
and if you had a quarter...!

a short time ago
I had my first one in years...
just one simple taste
and my childhood rushed to mind...
ah, the sweetest memory...

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...

time is messy
gooey like molasses
sticky especially if you are a stickler for it
I choose to ignore it
pretending it is a fly caught on a glue strip
others race to please time
wanting it to rule them
I get a kick out of their frenzied belief in time
but do not buy into it
time is messy...

hampered by deep snow

progress slow as molasses

 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...
