Short Spoonfuls Poems

Spoonfuls of your moon
From behind the silk cocoon
What a crimson boon

Sailing through airs of iridescent clouds
I collected spoonfuls of rainbow joy
To sweeten porridge included in my love's cuisine
Embellishing it with laughing almonds
Served it hot with fragrance escaping to heavens
Angels flew down to taste the delectable dish

(A Tribute to the Poetry Soup Staff)

A table
A soul
With cups of alphabet soup-
A ladle
A bowl
Is what's needed to scoop

Portions from the bottom,
The pot keeps getting better,
Sipping words and phrases
From spoonfuls of letters.

Super size your life
Live extra large
At love's drive-up window
Kisses no charge

Giggles on the side
With life's hot sauce
Squeezies to go
And huggles no cost

Big joyful shakes
How much do I owe
Two spoonfuls of love
And smiles to go

Fried morsels of bliss
Is this month's toy
You're next in line
For double size joy

Fast food for the soul
Is a happy refrain
So O.D. on good times
And come back again!...

Childhood Days

I’d heap spoonfuls of sugar in my tea
I wouldn’t drink it without it you see
That sweet syrupy drink
Wasn’t poured down the sink
Every single drop was supped up by me!


Adulthood

Dad’s diabetes made me think -
Did I need to sweeten my drink
So I cut sugar out
And I don’t have a doubt
I’m slimmer and I’m in the pink

Dreaming of creamsicle
vanilla and orange swirls
My tongue is swimming,
diving into the delectable
spoonfuls of tangoing 
flavors of joy-bursting “ahh.”
Better yet - creamsicle milkshake,
that goes straight to the mind
with “oohs” and “ahhs.”
It’s only a dream. A tribute.
Only one spoonful -
it, sits on my tongue,
cold and dangerous,
then the current takes it in
like a sin. Sinful not
to lavish one bite.

"Deliverance"

The Road 
leads us 
down 
cause ways 
in our worst dreams
we never dreamt

once the course set
there is no turning back
detours buy us some time
for a very short while 
the course for us
my dear, already set

hiccups conquered
over, like roadkill bumps
lessons spoken from lips
the motherload mind speaks
offering spoonfuls of sugar 
sincerely, we are driven 
to deliver

When crisis brings pain,
Everyone cries for spoonfuls.
Tears, complains and demands,
Expressions have only cry tools.

Everyone needs knowledge,
And experience by the lessons,
When they have selections,
And crying to keep handfuls.

A person understands a living,
When he dislikes fools,
When he likes to live on his own,
He hates all nasty creels.

Everyone has his meaning,
When they have cupfuls,
No tears, no complaints,
When they have basinfuls....

Thoughts arise..
Imagine what is there..
Imagine what isn't there..
Manifestations are born..
With..
Just a dash of intention..

A sprinkle of mysticism..
Spoonfuls of magical creativity..
In fruitation ..
Imagination has imploded to life..

Continue to imagine..
And..
Together we shall build bridges..
Explore the splendor of the world..
Sail the seven seas..
Climb the highest mountain....
Reach the highest peak possible..

Imagination ignites the fuel to reality.....
