A mouthful of amusement
Tantalize taste buds...

shouted orders to workers
caused fear,  panic and hatred

Ethnography...
Linguistic contour...
Versus a mouthful innocence
Of roaring words full of empty sounds....

                           a chipmunk with a mouthful

Praise costs us nothing,
It’s free, so have a mouthful.
Then give to someone!

So sticky, I can't help but stutter
With a mouthful ,of fresh peanut butter
Two slices of bread
No Jelly, instead
Some marshmallow Fluffernutter...

On the internet I am a rookie,
But the web site said they would book me
A tele-health call
And my Doc's on the ball
But I had a mouthful of cookie!...

she smiles and gives the thumbs-up sign,

     bites off a mouthful, gives me mine,

          oh, sweetest fruit ever tasted

               of the tree one never planted !...

A squirrel in a house he'd not been in before
Grabbed a mouthful of peanuts and ran for the door
He tripped on a mat
And then he fell flat
And his nuts rolled across the floor!...

Did you know lemon sharks love lemon tarts
Swim a million miles for a mouthful for starts
Then “dive” in and munch
On this yummy quick lunch
Tarts are their favs, but expel big fish farts...

have a mouthful of sharp teeth
have lures on their heads.

(We shared a cup of coffee 
over the demise of our relationship
in an orange vinyl cafe)
As we drank to the bottom of the cup
I came to realize
I am the bitter mouthful left behind
and you, you are the grinds...

Toast and jam
Sausage, ham

Cap mushrooms
Red legumes

Tomatoes
Potatoes 

Eggs to try
Poach or fry

Breakfast tea

Tummy full
Last mouthful 

Happy tum
Yum, yum, yum!

Day dismal
Pink bismol...

My coffee cup has butterflies and flowers thereon
Not masculine but welcome at the crack of dawn
At 6 o'clock on the dot
Me reaches for the pot
Slurp a joyous mouthful, even delay my tenth yawn

FOOD
GLORIOUS FOOD
Our eyes 
The size of saucers
Every time 
We look at your savory

Cherishing
Every mouthful
Whispers of 
Love
And 
Laughter

Thank you 
For having us
It was great 
To see you
Cherishing
Every moment...

First they’re sour then they’re sweet
Watermelon taste
They come in different colors
A chewy mouthful
I can eat them all
By myself
Mmm

I whisper with a force
Like a door ajar --
I got as far from you --Silence,
The Stone Watching --
And there is no mercy for my tears!

How can I have you
With the stem -- with force
Under the Steal's volcano, in lava --
Emily, in the Fall....

Life is for the living
giving it our best

and sometimes less is
better: a mouthful, a
tree not fell, an extra 
wife/husband

but hearts should give
their all, never doubting
tributaries of love

though often ponds on earth

are oceans up above...

Feelings fill the page
but can confound the sage
by the poem's mouthful

True, Good, Beautiful
transcending to the thoughtful
I find these engage

2-Pac kissed me tonight,
just before I swallowed my thoughts,
I think he could taste them,
bits of anger and self pity,
sharp and unforgiving,
my saliva, his blood, 
with an emotion too strong,
from my dripping red lips,
to a once warm puddle,
I doubt I'll see him again....

Ocean lights cigarette
Puffs mouthful smoke towards mountain
Tobacco clouds incarcerate the mountain
Later on....
Mountain coughs
Its skins are uprooted
Displaying crystal clear
Cancer-laminated
Black lungs of mountain
Dear buddy
I beg sorry
I don't wanna be another mountain...
