You So Sweet

So yummy
I could just
eat you up

Not funny
Had enough
Bittersweet

Such dummies
Eat too much
Tastebuds change

Now honey
Wish I had
Ate you up

Yummier

Strawberry frozen yogurt
Yummier than ice-cream
Melts upon my tongue
as a sweet, cool dream.
Tastebuds do a little dance
For yoghurt is so fine and
Strawberries, strawberries yum oh yum
Totally divine!
Form: Verse


Chicken Soup

The     warm, frothy soup
feels good      my tastebuds,
one scoop
            after the other.

It goes well   with a good 
        company
around a        bonfire
gazing at the clear, night      sky...

Funny Fact

I always knew ladies have more taste than men...

                It is a scientific fact per National Geographic magazine!!
                  The female tongue has more tastebuds than male tongues.:-)

Sweet Amla

So bitter but oh so sweet
Enlivened tastebuds and tightened jaws
Better health I long to greet
Biding obedience to natural laws

Naturally cleansing and nurturing
Assimilation and digestion on high
Invaluable health I'm furthering
Toxicity and disease I bid a sweet good-bye

Premium Member At Full Price

Salty tastebuds are now aghast,
I am left with this stark contrast.
The coffee went cold way too fast,
a minute passed, a minute passed. 

Already chilled and filled with ice,
the temp couldn’t be more precise.
What it sorely lacked? A bit of spice.
Bland at full price, bland at full price.

Coriander isn't food

I appreciate that many love it
And want lashings on their meal
Scattered over soup or curry
(I can’t see the appeal)

It’s popular and I recognise
To you, it may taste fine
Peppery, on your tastebuds
‘Delicious’, ‘divine’

But for me, it’s bitter, nasty stuff
I’m sorry, I must conclude
(Because my own tastebuds insist):
Coriander isn’t food

Premium Member Embodying the Light

     Light withdrawn
     Expands again
       approaches dawn
       clucks the hen

    Constellations fade
    Skies o’erspread   
       glory arrayed
       chickens fed

    Rising sun
    Prayers bespake  
      omelets done
      tastebuds awake

Premium Member Delectable Pleasure

on a quiet 
Sunday 
afternoon
rain 
playfully 
danced
amidst the 
flourishing 
trees of 
Georgia.

memories 
tempt 
tastebuds
with a 
sweet juicy 
nectar
ripe with 
luscious 
desire.

sensually 
fragrant
arousing 
all senses
slowly, 
delicately, 
sensually.

peaches 
simply are..

the Fruit 
of the 
Gods..

one of 
life's 
delectable 
pleasures,
for the God 
& Goddess 
in all.

Premium Member From the Kitchen Window

The burst soapsuds dissipate. Six doves outside my window Enjoy their meal, congregate. Wings whirr, head to the gingko Baby phoebes see surroundings. With wide mouths expose tastebuds Hunger each day compounding! I look, then see burst soapsuds
So much happening outside my kitchen window view that I forget the dishwater is getting cold and chores going undone. June 20, 2023

Counting Sheep

We persist in running again.
Eyes widened by experience, open like wounds.
Heavy jaws of ruminated
Portions.
Hallucinations of wolves and foxes and mean people,
Ripped members and massacres could
Always and never happen. Our lives
Mean nothing while living in
Tastebuds of animals and those who profit
From our meat and coarse hair.
They fade in our mind, hitherto
We persist in running,
To fleetingly feel alive.

Premium Member An Ode to my Nose

An Ode to my Nose

Ah that sweet smell of freshly mown grass
I thank you for raising my senses
But laugh too hard, there's a risk of discharge
And to germs, you’re completely defenceless
You're short and stout, but far from a snout
You tempt and tease my tastebuds
Thank God you don't grow, like Pinocchio
You’d be big as the Ark in the great floods!
My love for you, it comes and goes
A rose reminds your importance though

Because

I will see this through
because the idea of you still shocks my spine
with electricity,
tempts my tastebuds with curiosity

In the end 
I'll either adore you fearlessly
and come to your arms with wild abandon,
or have sucked every pretty word
from our imagery,
dulled it to prose

I'll gently unfasten your roots
from my navel
and send you off
not with bite marks or bruises,
but with mercy

I will spare you from a dramatic
exit,
because I care for you

My Little Valentine

My fingers traced the lines on her face
as she slept; her beauty overwhelming.

The years had been touch and go, but
we made it somehow, and here we were,
still in love, my little Valentine.

That's what I called her all the time; 
sweet as sugar and oh so fine
gooey and passionate leaving my
tastebuds satisfied completely.

She filled my desires and expectations always
I had no complaints
I leaned over to kiss her lips
One last time
My little Valentine.

Premium Member Salt N' Pepper Dark Chocolate

Hot and smooth, sweet dark delight
                                                 Starless chocolate night
                                                Set my tastebuds all afire,
                                                   Feed their lone desire:
                                                   Dullness laid to waste,
                                                             Perfected

Premium Member CARROT CAKE

Crazy to think that insipid vegetable 
Aspires to be something more than rabbit food,
Rising to meet the challenge like an Olympian 
Running the triathlon,
Overcoming tremendous odds to become
The tasty goodness of Nirvana. 

Cupboards full of sugar and spice,
All things nice, as Grandmother chooses ingredients 
Knowingly, as if choosing gems from a treasure box, then
Encoding tastebuds with the flavor of love.
