Short Soused Poems

A spiced vegtable stew
A soused mackerel
Mint lamb shanks with barley
A nice slowed cooked rice
Provolone cheese
Chardonnay
Port!...

through dawn fuzzy haze
 soused in sunrise cointreau rays
 sits the woozy moon

Twas the week before Christmas and all through the house
The smell of Jack Daniels has people quite soused 
Drink and seduce Mary
Or Elizabeth or Harry
Whatever you persuasion, time to act like a louse...

Gathering storm clouds
                                          A feeling of foreboding 
                                             Alien house soused.
                                     If it rains all through the night
                                    Cadavers swing through rafters.

tubers on the vine
flourishing in fertile soil
field of potatoes

I swilled vodka made of spuds ~ Absolut
Distilled veggies that were grown as a root
Drank another bottle
Hit the ground full throttle
Grossly soused but I didn't give a hoot

ingested as French fries, potatoes are better for human health

I know the land where the lemon-trees flower;
wild canarys of the teary beebrush drown.
Rest with me! O' darkened orchards of the hour.
Rest with me under the clutter of your swirling bones-
the earth is showing us how to make something round.

O' buxom flower, how your luster sways ones
eyes from the gurgling mud; I of withered breath
entreat your pretty nectar with my lips
that i may taste and reflect in death
my soused exterior enclosed in your hips....
