covering rice cake
steamed to puffy kernals
with a broccoli

I love shrimp
Oh how I love shrimp
Whether it be breaded
And deep fried
Or steamed
With melted butter
On the side
I love shrimp...

Racing Proud Mammoth
                         once steamed across wild prairie
                            stopped dead in his tracks...

He is so hot -- and
when he is steamed ~
I desire a sweet taste of him
Was it your beloved?
No my dear it was my teapot!...

with some salted fish,
Steamed down with coconut milk
onions, chives, and thyme,
it's a sight to see
but the taste!
Yum!...

Dried currants dot this steamed pudding.
“Spotted Dick” is this dessert’s name.
So few Yanks have heard of this thing....

vaguely viewed through morning fog…

Equations on the back of my hand
Science on steamed windows
Dirty love letters on white vans
Sparklers spell your name out...

near fence post low to ground —
maddening hornets
            drive by shooting of spray can
            the window of victim’s steamed

MORNING CLEANSING

Nightmares portend calamitous outcome
Masks of doom pretend to breathe
Nettles hang on morning shower rods
Nightmares dissipate behind steamed doors

A train steamed away tonight
Taking you away from me

I arrive at the station too late
To find you gone with the wind's tale

With your forgotten scarf in my hand
I tried to fly to your new land...

The scent of the sea steamed off your skin, I felt vulnerable.
You peeked through a wisp of hair and beckoned - stars shot and scrambled.
Memories of years gone now float with your ashes in the air......

The old man is steamed with a pot on his head
Ice tea has no dibs on this tea cozy aptly fed.
We don’t know his name, thinks his dog calls him Fred.
Don’t get close to the steam, it will burn your hand red....

Life is so cool
On seas and oceans
Best steamed, served over a pool
Sweet and sour delicacy of paeans
Throat where its brain rests
Engulfed head where stomach and kidney nests
Ripping teeth in stomach feasts...

Past fifty,
my eyesight is bad,
can't find my glasses,
then I get mad.
Where can they be,
has anyone seen,
not a trace,
now I'm steamed.
Up on my head,
is where they sit,
grandkids laughing,
how silly can one get....

A slow cooked roast with baked potato
Soft spread butter and sliced sourdough
Steamed baby carrots with peas
A-1 Steak Sauce and jellies
Apple pie, cooling by the window

Her way of letting me know, there was a sale at Macy's.
It always worked!...

I
am the
short, scrawny
girl who hides out
on the cliff looking
back with envy at World
who always delicately
fed themselves with golden spoons with
serving processed foods- steamed and fatty.
They don't know I'm like rat stealing their trash....

Beads of water on the door
Rendered garments on the floor
Steamed up mirrors on the wall
Clouds of mist inside the stall
In the space the air is thick
Replete with moisture, heat, and slick
With passion, ardor, joy, desire
Despite the flood the room's on fire...

Life blooms us flowers
Unlike thorns that leaves us scarred
Inhale each fragrance

What observation
And choices screened clean and bright
Quenching thirsty souls

Each moment steamed fresh
We shall savor obedience
And rely on Source.

Salt a mess of fresh blue crabs
Steamed in a beer broth,
with onions and Old Bay spice. 
Mix vinegar with
Worcestershire sauce.
Pick, dip, eat.
Treat!


note: Have plenty of cold beer and paper towels on hand!

Beware the Bomber - Epulaeryu

They call them “Belly Bombers”
Onion steamed burgers,
They say to, “Take home a sack”,
Square, holey patties.
I ate too many,
And I got,
Sick!
