Short Pretzel Poems

marshmallows, toothpicks,
m&m’s and pretzel sticks —
snowmen on the fly

Porridge with maple syrup
Smoked salmon pretzel
Bacon & eggs sunnyside up
Nice tasty white rolls
With petit swiss cheese
Coffee and
Cream!...

Rock bird
Paper nose
Cricket rose
Coconut ring
Pretzel watch
Olive wrench
Pillow oil
Car cloud
Strange occurrences
Happen at strange times
Creating strange things
All unusable

Yoga positions
pretzel launching pad, painful
crowd wilts from fitness

senior endurance
festiness charges living
folks uncurl, relieved

Was just my luck to grab pretzel and beer,
rush to nosebleed seats to watch ball with fear.
An usher was glaring at me,
pointing at a sign I would see.
No alcohol, in this seating — oh dear!

Feet propped up, reclining on the sofa inside the den,
watching a hot movie showing a wild and sexy scene,
in his excitement he swallowed his can of Diet Coke 
and with his mouth full of pretzel he almost choked....

Your bedtime prayers
Coupled with the right Scriptures
Yield "pretiolas"

To tie the knot with...
Thick, soft "bretzels" are folded
Like arm over arm.

Hard, brown pretzel twists
Are more than little rewards-
Sweet licks, salty bites......

Caught in lust's whirlpool -
pretzel entwined limbs
edge me into your
carnal cavity
whilst you taste thine's flesh.

Nail-induced scars
tattoo my back
as wanton yips
pervade night air.

Erotic
stimuli
mingle and

sculpt our
torso's

whole!...

You melt my butter.
You sop my gravy.
There is no other
like my redneck baby.

You're the frost on my mug;
the salt on my pretzel.
You really squish my mud.
You're the one I want to wrestle.

But if faithful, you're not,
or you be loose and fast;
not Cupid's arrow shot,
but mine, in your ass!

Love, Arlene...

Broken strings

A thoughtless crime
Someone has committed
To my violin.

String curled,
Bow bent like a pretzel,
The neck is in two.

Grief struck me
To find something so amazing
Destroyed from anger,
Surely someone must pay 
For damaging my instrument.

I thought about it for a second...
I don't recall even owning a violin....

See:
plot line one was all fiction
Baptized by fire 
was not playing
by my rules.
 He was lying.
I had to put him in his place.
And make him realize 
that a big brother
 at work would twist him
into a pretzel 
until he was pieces
of crumbs 
left at the bottom
of the bag 
if he messed with 
his prize possession...

Oktoberfest
Pretzel and beer
Wisconsin’s finest celebration
Bringing all Germans into town
To raise their frothy glasses to each other
The prettiest girls wear the sweet dresses
With suspenders and colors of their ancestors
Salt on the pretzels as large as dinner plates
Mugs large enough to sit in
Octoberfest in Wisconsin...

I got bit
Three times.
By what?
I do not know.

Up the leg,
Past the knee.
Itch
Unmistakable.

Beforehand,
I spied
An ugly spider,
With a white dot.

After Brunswick stew
And my husband’s wings,
Pretzel sticks with mustard
And onion rings.

Yummy in the tummy —
but
what
bit
me?

I do not know!
will
i
go
back?

The food was great
but so’s the itch.

~~~Who's the Pretzel ?~~~


Off to  my first yoga class I went
After much money on outfit spent.
  Twisted into pretzel form.
  These positions not the norm.
I was designed for straight world, not bent.

Looked around to watch rest of the class.
Only view was of my own wide ass.
   All of my joints were popping
   So I think I'll be stopping.
Safer to just give yoga a pass.

                       Your destiny is...
             As malleable as a wet clay. 
     With the palm of your hand, you can...
Sculpt, shape or mold it however you wish.
  You can have fun with a wet clay. Give it 
       A stretch, shape it like a diamond
        Guess what else? You can even 
            Flatten it like a pancake, or 
              Twist it like a pretzel. So 
                Malleable is a wet clay.

Today is Pretzel Day – hooray!
So when it’s time for snacks,
Indulge in salty twists or sticks
To help your mood relax.

Or maybe try some pretzel rods
Or ones with honey wheat
Or peanut butter stuffed inside,
A high caloric treat.

You might opt for the soft-baked type
With sprinkled salt or seeds.
A squirt of mustard on the top’s
All anybody needs.

Though chips or popcorn top my list
When salty snacks I crave,
Today, because it’s Pretzel Day,
My preferences I’ll waive....
