vertical in dangling pods
sea otters hold hands...

The skin breaks to flower pods,
And the willow weeps....

Bitter made sweet.

Packaged as treasures

For you, and for me....

of golden chain-
the living chandelier
dims as the poison in Fall pods

night blooming
hides noxious effect
sealed in pods

Art
Van Gogh
Parisian fields, starry nights
Sunflower seed pods droop
The darkness of a Dutch post impressionist mind
But to us, striking colors and contoured lines....

I search for the land of Aubergine
Where the Egg Plant is nurtured and raised
Pods of Byzantium Airships
Succulence with a Periwinkle glaze

So sick of the corn and pea pods.

As by which hand, in gusts
Heart to heart does flick.
As burs felt then stick.

Once there was a pea
two pods could not see
It was so lonely

The pea was all by itself,
You see
What could one pea hope to be?

Safe were the pods from the supper bell's toll
And that one single pea,
was not enough for me...

In
A bed
They grow tall
Golden yellow
Blossoms surround seed
Pods of dark brown beauty
Prickly, scratchy leaves upon
Strong, sturdy green stalks that reach high
Aiming for illuminating sun   ...

all life's beams are seeds,
in their baby pods of light

to outward see, there is a
mind that also dreams

seeking Insight's sovereignty –

Gloating monkey sat on palm tree 
plucked pods and broke them;
he drank and drank all the wine
in drunken mood he shouted;

Master of the jungles I am…!
Come, attack. I’ll show you
material I’m made of.”...
