What beautiful blue eyes you got
Wish I could take it out the sack
Put it to boil like an egg
smash it like a nutmeg
Then you could forever take a nap

Apples from the backyard tree
Sliced thin and sugared
Cinnamon, nutmeg, butter
Pile in tender crust
Bake 'till golden brown
A la mode
Mom!

Soft and sweet tapioca pudding
With bubbling, steamy milk
Sprinkled with sugar, nuts and raisins
Flavored with nutmeg spice
Creamy, toasty mixture
Cozy treat
Smash!

Barn-ward we heard the reindeer's sneeze.
Smells of nutmeg and clove in the breeze.
With Santa stuck in the John,
From dusk till about dawn,
Looks like we gave Big Red too much cheese.

As They are Falling To The Ground

I do not know?
Sometime apple pies
Run and Hide
You don't want to be eaten
Peeled apples roll around
Once a seedling
In planted in the ground
Flour, cinnamon, nutmeg other ingredients...
Mixed and placed in the oven

let
your mind
be free
with
the
scent of
gingerbread,
pumpernickel,
nutmeg,
banana bread,
spring rain,
vanilla extract
and
sweetgrass
to be exact
is the
scent of the moon
at last
I
am sure
then
let your
mind be free

"Good apple pies are a considerable part of our domestic happiness." ~ Jane Austin
Granny Smiths, apple cobbler
Fit for a gobbler
Cinnamon and nutmeg too
Joy for me and you
Walnuts, wine, why not?
Steaming hot -
eat!

Grandpa Punjab was in quite a hurry
He'd run out of cardamom and curry --
Poor guy tried every place
Found only nutmeg and lace --
Told his wife that his memory was blurry

I can smell
The scented leaves
It reminds me of
A sweet potato pie
Baking in the oven
The rich smell of vanilla
Cinnamon and nutmeg
Floating through the air
Giving you the feeling
Of warmth and love

Home of the jack'o lantern
can be filled with spices---
cinnamon, nutmeg, and more,
to fill our stomachs
on a cool fall night.
Warm pumpkin

No better gift have I from heaven
than a grandchild, now turn'd seven.
of east and west a wondrous blend
she took the best that these could lend:
from Eden's banks her nutmeg hue
her amber eyes from northern dew
and add to this yet greater pleasure,
a dash of Irish for good measure.

Pumpkin Pie
Warm fresh, aromatic…
nutmeg, cinnamon, clove(s)…ssss….
Butter crust,
hand mixed,
hand rolled,
by a 100 year old pin.
Loved on,
by the cook.
Flakes of heaven,
peeled away from
the perfection found
only at Grandma’s house.
Grandpa smiles,
and we all laugh.
Tradition!

When the warm nutmeg spirit of generosity
moves you year round,
a Mrs. Claus heart fills your smile.
It's a Christmas kind of love on
any given day,
it has you singing, "Joy to the World,"
with your Yuletide soul soaring
pool side in the middle of July.
It's a Christmas kind of love
throughout your life. ~

nutmeg subheading
pheasant takes shield from the sun
first trip there this year
crow stares from a branch
listen to steady rain scarce

Aunt Kate's Wine Cake---
A dash of nutmeg in the batter,
takes the cake and makes it better.
But the splash of wine that she adds later,
and another cube of butter
makes us all a little fatter !

Verse
Beyond the measure and mead
of circadian rhythm and habitual rhyme
beyond the frequencies and amplitudes
of perambulating waves and recalcitrant lines
Beyond the clamor and din of nutmeg and time
cleavers and butchers and earthmen who climb
Atop the weathered brow of
life's grand conflagration
an old man disembarked at the final destination

Apples hang upon the trees in orchard
Just reach up and pick of nature's bounty
Months of waiting now great flavor's award
Fried apples for lunch drenched in butter aplenty
Cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg plenty
Aromas float on the air alluring
Scents that draw and are so reassuring

delicate faerie heroes with your nutmeg wings
dazzling me with your filigree onyx lacings
you flutter and tease before alighting together
ah, yes, I think. You are heading toward the lilac
you fool me and land on the magnolia blossoms
their vanilla centers seem to be of special interest
two matching monarchs, conversing with my blooms
I smile as a scent of spearmint wafts toward me

work with sun, moon
earth, the good long days
peel, pull seeds
hum quietly
a nameless melody
drawn through half forgotten
memories
as is this recipe.
cinnamon red, sharp
nutmeg brown, sultry
sugar white
as snows to come
eggs golden globes
milk splashing
creamy sounds.
day light slants
across the table
it warms my hands
as they shape dough
for pumpkin pie.

Love Poem #9
This lavender sky
should smell of its colour,
or lilac,
or rose,
not of this rotten fish
stale beer and human piss.
This drawing dusk
should smell of spice,
nutmeg and clove,
and fill me,
sated;
not this emptiness,
longing for the scent of you.
I exaggerate.
You are within me, your
self
exuding from my pores.
I taste you on my skin,
as I dream
of just your tender kiss.

My god, I love coffee!
I love it black
with sugar or cream
and sometimes
chocolate or caramel.
With cinnamon and nutmeg;
coconut oil or vanilla bean.
With amaretto or bourbon,
which enhance my dreams.
The flavor of coffee
Is a wonderful treat;
At times, I’d prefer to drink coffee,
rather than eat.
Addicted to caffeine,
addicted to flavor;
each moment with coffee,
I really savor.
