Jollof rice is honey comb,
Green pea and  sweet corn ,
Eye appealing, wife of tongue;
Its roasted drumstick:
Lord of every plate;
Jolly rice,
Taste!...

A large green grootslang with giant tusks
shook down a bunch of red and yellow mollusks
hunted them down
Northeast of Gerogetown
Scaring sweet corn off of their stalks and husks...

July Fog

Fog
Slinks in,
Cloaks dawn’s smile
In July gloom
With platinum gauze ~
A foggy summer breath
Glistens on rows of sweet corn,
Kisses the vegetable garden,
As crickets chirp and bumblebees hum
In misty tunes of foghorn rhapsodies....

Meat,
Vegetables,
Sweet corn,
Onion,
Garlic,
Salt, 
Green peas and
Cabbage 
to make mixed rice.
Other ingredients would also add some spice.
What better way 
to portray
the history
of our ancestry?
This is the delicacy of US
We are SU....

he is packing food for winter
each kernel might make the difference
between surviving the Iowa winter and not
some say owls are wise
they have nothing on squirrels
he begins his climb to his nest
where he deposits his corn
wishing it was sweet corn
instead of field corn...

fresh Moonshine
hidden jars in barn
country road

~~~~~~~~~~~:::~~~~~~~~~~~

sweet corn from the field
natural grain distillation
liquid vapor flows

mountain still brewing
transforming barley and rye
Appalachian!

Generally you are like sweet corn soup,
But at times you are hot n sour soup,

Your cheeks are red as cherry tomato,
Your hands are soft as mashed potato,

You are spicy as chicken-fry,
You are sweet as apple-pie,

It seems you are my complete meal,
Which no one can dare to steal....

 The poet was young, just born -
her innocent words, forlorn.
Still, she was as euphoric as a pig in mud -
rolling around the sweet corn.

Her wit was swill, but she drilled.
Dictionary at her fingertips, she thrilled.
Playing, like a piglet with fodder,
one day, with practice, her verse killed.

coffee best describes
papa joe's essence for me
coffee kisses- YES

fertilizer stink
paternal grandaddy smell
famous tomatoes

noxzema only 
for miss toby before bed
shakey hands slicked up

but then grandmama
whew! peach cobbler first of all
sweet corn, pot roast, ham

oh man, those fried pies
blackberry and peach goodness
beautiful mem'ry...

Green leaves listless languor lushly suspended

Dew glistening on grassy fields in early morn

Breeze gathering, cumulous clouds upended

Sun's rays burning through atmosphere's haze, reborn

Sweet corn on the cob gracing street vendors' stalls

Ice cream creations on cones piled up so tall

Love's blossoms on flower petal arrangements

Bridal showers, joyous wedding engagements

Sitting here in rhythm’s rhyme
What bait to use to snare
What size hook will do the job
So many to compare
Fitting spaces into time
Or backhand cutting lob
Splitting places walls to climb
With faster graying hair
Harder now to weave and bob
Timing’s on a tear
Icy  teary blue eyes rime
Hang it all
The rig’s too small
For a longer
Stronger
Line 
One has to cut it fine
Like one sweet corn
Or two carbuncle
Slice it now and
Bob’s y’ r uncle...

Sweet peas,
Sweet corn,
Sweet the clue,
That does adorn,
The sweetest thing
I've ever seen,
Since I was born...

Like "Casablanca"
Embracing at an airport,
But not for "Goodbye"
But here to "court"

No way, but 
A short while ago,
Would I ever,
Dare to believe,
This could ever be so...

Life carries some surprises,
Some are awful sweet,
Not every one,
Ends in some 
horrible defeat...

I'll ask no more,
Of my God above,
Because he has returned
Your precious love....
