Short Peppered Poems

If we had black stars on a whitened day, we would have a peppered sky...

There once was a German Shepherd
Who liked to act like a leopard
He went to get a chicken, 
But it went a kickin’
And then they both got peppered....

the desert mountains
peppered with snow
winter comes
with its frosty glow
a beautiful photo
remains in my mind
of saguaro standing
their spines sparkle
with ice...

Every mind is painted on a separate canvas
Lines brushed to give edge to their scenes
With a multitude of colors peppered around
Bordered by abstruse and diverted memories...

Fresh fish garnished with pepper,
Pepper and spices,
Smeared with brush strokes on the fish,
It can be foil-wrapped, 
Or placed directly
Over heat,
Plunge!

It runs gracefully across the sand 
Feet leaving prints as it passes 
Gracefully moves its own way 
Delicacy for some 
It’s now on the run 
Dashing for hole 
Peppered spice 
It’s hot 
Crabs!...

They're quickly away from my side.
My sneezing they just can't abide.
I've blown my nose off.
Peppered them with my cough.
Now I'm here all alone on this ride!

life 
new forms 
flower seeds 
pressed inside earth 
peppered with color 
they blossom in full view 

fragrant tender petals 
bending in the wind 
white butterflies 
dance upon 
the mums 
life

Spicy sausage (food for thought!)

Carrots, onions, …chopped!

Tomatoes, bells,   add to stock....

Peppered spice….(a lot!)

Oops!.... Almost forgot....!

Burned tongue!!!....It's....

Pierce Brosnon is divine
Of male species so sublime
Sky blue eyes and peppered hair
Just make me want to bare

He and Russell Crow
Just make me go go go
Gladiator despite the gore
Just makes me want him more!

out
   of the
     ordinary
the
fantastic
    appears,
a vivid
    emblem
an image
    superimposed,
an amalgam
blossoming
    slowly
in
a
slant
   of
     light,
dappled
yet
   layered
in the
    dim light..
peppered
with rythm...

Lustrous waves of wheat, 
Peppered with blues and reds, 
Dancing in the wind, 
Slowly swaying, rippling, 
Flap and flutter, 
Tranquil, peaceful, 
Sundance of
Rising, dropping, 
Rows and rows, 
Of rich yellow, 
Golden sea.

There’s comfort in conformity,
The dry herd steps forward to give 
Filed sighs, an enormity
Of purpose, peppered like a sieve
With empty space, paraded fast
Through love and loss, to lie and live,
Splaying bones to yawn death at last,
Our time to pass, we won’t forgive....

Like a gentle caress 
Song and dance
smiles and clues

Or unnecessary chatter
Cracks on my brain
Blah is the banter 
unnerving refrain

like a dangerous dream
Rhythm and blues
peppered w/ distress

Hypnotic laughter 
Eyes on the soul 
memorable words
You can't release the Hook...

Gray lines become fragmented
twisted around each beat
that pings within this tinman
with stones upon my feet

washed white walls
plastic virgin talks
split tongue keeps waggling
while the Holy Ghosts walks

peppered in pretend
pin it to a shoe
the worth of three words
and your promises, not you...

The heavens examined my longing Willow
Epitome of Excellence and Beacon of Truth
Without Fault - Our Willow
Never the Time Fighter
Peppered in change - Blossoming in continuity
My Willow
Striving for her - everything for Willow
A song of young elegance
The beaming sun rose just for Willow...

Coming Home


My life has been generously peppered with love.
Like a glorious, Midwest snowstorm, sprinkled by God, above.

I have no idea, why, on this earth, I was so richly blessed.
But, I’d like to return to my heavenly home now,  for eternal rest.

Rosemary Thyme fell in love with
a spicy character who was Sweet Basil.
Her parents didn't Extractly like him, 
because he Peppered them with Salty 
words. So they would meet secretly.
One day however, she Cinnamon Cumin.
Her Poppyseed her, Anise he mad!! 
To keep them apart, he put her on 
the overland Sage bound for Oregano....

I kissed a gravy 
it was smothered 
on hot mashed potatoes 
seasoned well butter sweet
So as place to fork of the cut steak 
between my teeth 
A half of cup of mix veggies
Salt and peppered
and as I ingest it
 the warm vegetables
solemnly tasty my Sunday dinner

The poesy of chef's soup du jour,
   peppered in a skillfully delectable
            pauperized simmer
       or sublimely enriched dish of
          ultimate truffle butter grandeur,
   either method is subtly rendered mid
      tastefully tendered aromatic
              proffers of broken bread,  
          farther delectable poetry's bouquet...

an old photograph
uncovered from a cedar chest
peppered with dust
and frayed at its edges

how its subjects
smile with quiet pride
asking not to be pitied
that their time is spent

all of this family
elder and infant
bride and groom
are long since departed

fingerprints shimmer on its surface
traces of the hands that held it
laughing, crying, remembering
and I add mine...

Salt the earth,
only shaking out love
or
Pepper the place
with capsicum of hate

Salt preserves the peace,
pepper disturbs the harmony

Salted love is always hate-free
Peppered hate dilutes love distastefully

Give me love to salt all my senses down:
Make me immune to the peppery,
pungent aroma hate spreads around
When death comes,
which one will you put in the ground?...
