Premium Member Cotton Candy Grapes

It will remind you of alchemy 
how taste and image don’t align; 
Lypophrenia hits you,
best friends the county fair;
Memories play back 
while snacking on 
those cotton 
candy 
grapes.

Freshly roasted I, Enjoy the flavor of my Pumpkin seeds with salt And olive oil bath; A quite delicious snack that, Is very healthy. Sprinkled with pepper And some fresh sesame seeds; Savory wonder!

Premium Member Christmas Baking

In the kitchen, baking with mummy
Christmas goodies that so yummy
To wrap up for the tummy
For the snacking with my chummy

Later on we will party
Then eat the snacks that are so hardy
So I must be ready and not tardy
Or I may be outside in the yardie

Starving

I am starving.
Only snacking on soft words,
When I should be devouring whole poems.

I am starving.
Only sipping on small syllables,
When I should let the ink drip from my chin.


I am starving.
Only letting words dance over my tongue, 
When my mouth should be full.

I am starving.

Premium Member Two Wolves

Each of us have two wolves living inside us
One wants to eat burritos
and watch horror movies.

The other wants to walk about 
in its underpants all day 
snacking on cheetos between long naps. 

The wolf that thrives is the one 
who lives on with diabetes while the other
dies of a heart attack.

Premium Member Smiles and Frowns

Snow's whisper. Soft Slippers, Kittens playing. Husbands face when caught before meal snacking. Having a silent phone on my Birthday. Hurtful words said. Self disgust, Lost trust. Crime.

Turtle Gumbo

When you’re done packing, then you can begin snacking.
Turtle soup is never lacking, to leave your lips smacking.

Gathering turtles is a game, without any kind of shame.
No one will ever even blame, tastes like chicken the same.

Make a trip into the loop, then chase slowly from the coup.
Then cook me up, turtle soup, sharing consommé in a group.

Premium Member Smorgasbord


  Tried to prevent,
  Dogs from snacking on the cat litter smorgasbord.
  Bought a gate,
  But it's too late!
  Cats to old,
  Not very bold.
  Pees outside of gate,
  Oh, what to do,
  He's peed in my shoe!
  The gate works fine,
  For those dogs of mine.
  Now if I could just get my cat,
  To pee on the other side!
  While he's still alive!

Super Snacker

I'm the best snacker there ever 
was
My hands fit chip bags like my 
hands fit my gloves
I've got Chex Mix, Cheese-It's, 
Pork-Rinds, Cheetos
Pretzels, Gardettos, dip and 
Doritos
I shovel it in morning, noon, 
and night
I don't stop to breath, oh what 
a sight
If you need snacking done, 
remember what they say
Go grab that girl who can really
pack it away!

Hell Terrors Pt 2

It is raining
 Is a hurricane blowing 
No speck of light is showing 
The fear is now growing 
Demonic voices overflowing 
it's the ghastly reaper hacking 
All the demons are snacking
 hoping to cause some flacking
 The reaper wants to start some shacking
 danger danger...danger..
 Only feeling the ground spinning 
Who will it be to start winning...
 Or will it just be sinning...?

Food Shopping

When you go shopping, do you browse
And stroll up all the aisles,
Searching for surprising “Wows!”
That might elicit smiles?

Or do you clutch your list in hand
And check off every item
That’s always purchased as you planned
Each time, ad infinitum?

No matter how you shop, at least
When you’re back home, unpacking,
You’ll know that chances have increased
For some impromptu snacking.

Toss a Smidgen

Toss a smidgen
To a pigeon
And you know he’ll eat it,
Though once fed
A crumb of bread,
You can’t get him to beat it.

Still, what’s worse
And worth a curse
Are seagulls if you’re snacking,
For I’ve found
When food’s around,
They sometimes try attacking.

My advice –
You’ll pay the price
By tempting those with feathers,
For they know
Where humans go,
There’s food in any weathers.

Politician Captured and Released

A local politico dropped by today,
To spread his vision along his way.
His view, to me, seemed a bit lacking.
I’ve seen his kind and results of their snacking
On what I’ve earned through time and work.
I’ve met only one who wasn’t a jerk,
So I shot him (with camera) and bid him farewell;
Where I left him behind I never will tell,
He shall not again be smearing this pane,
Nor did he ever feel his or my pain.

Premium Member Road Trip

R olling down the freeway, for hours and hours on end
O n our much anticipated family vacation,
A ll us kids were joking, yakking, singing songs and snacking,
D azzled by scenic routes and filled with youthful elation.

T old by Dad to quiet down, we simply couldn’t do it.
R eally, what did he expect eight rowdy kids to do?
I nside that station wagon we were squeezed in like sardines.
P aradise at last arrived: to the restrooms we all flew!

Premium Member Safe Haven

Dark is home for this rogue Lioness,
still some monsters I can’t benchpress;
So I do whatever I can to survive;

The hunt can never really be over,
even while being courted by a lover;
Handsome he is at the foot of the bed;

Pretty words can persuade it’s true 
that when needed he will shelter you;
Until you’re a weapon too hard to wield;

Snacking on the crust of upper class
similar to a kill in Serengeti grass;
I always protect my safe haven.

Childhood Memories

adventurous days
running through wildflower fields
carefree memories
of playing with my siblings
birthday parties and skating

first day of grade school
a bit shy to make new friends
riding a school bus
Sesame Street with Big Bird
snacking on cookies and milk

waiting for Santa
holidays and Christmas trees
loving family
lots of giggles and laughter

Food-Chain

Cat in the tree, searching for a rat

Dog on the ground barking at a bat

Deer in the meadow watching the site

Hunter in the hills aiming his sights

The bear in the cave was woken and awaiting to strike

Hunter pulls the trigger, as the bear goes for the kill

The dog turns to see the headless shooter

And the cat wanders off

The rat in the tree scampers in the other direction

The deer is fast asleep 

While the bear is snacking 

Nobody hears a peep.

Premium Member The Pb and J

So quick ... so easy ... even
    Nutritious to those who know.
        A small child, in a few heartbeats,
            Can put one together to grow.

Its simplicity is utilitarian,
    Both in beauty and its form.
        As desire gains popularity, by
            Constant requests for the snacking norm.

With great taste nearly universal,
    It also quiets a hungry belly.
        And that's just part of the magic,
            Of the so-called, peanut butter & jelly.

Pistachios

When I was a kid, pistachios
Had shells they dyed bright red
And sure enough, that color
To your fingers quickly spread.

It didn’t wash off easily,
But left a tell-tale clue
About what you’d been snacking on,
That bright red proof on view.

Today, I cracked pistachios
And wondered, as I ate,
Why someone once decided
To disguise their natural state.

No matter why, that dye is gone – 
Red fingers not the answer.
For all we know, pistachios
With dye might have caused cancer.
