Drowning in whisky,
drunkard of time
Toasting the losers
—dying unrhymed

Turkey ready for roasting
Our mom ready for boasting
A power surge came
The oven in flame
No Thanksgiving for toasting...

chest
nuts
roasting
atop her open
fire toasting
my marshmallows
oozing
gooey
from her heat 
as thoughts
pop like
popcorn...

There was a girl on the Isle of Man
Freezing her buttocks off in the can
There was no one to care
If she let off hot air
So toasting toes are now, "Owed to Jan"!...

His drink the black beauty foaming and thick
toasting St Patrick until he gets sick
then off to the loo
he knows what to do
cuz ya can't teach an old dog a new trick

All emotions and hopes exchanging through a common fax
singing songs of victory and toasting a beer to relax
priding on a rich history
moving in one chemistry
mock us when we lose and face the inevitable axe....

Everyone is brave
inside the café
Tall glasses of courage,
fear toasting itself
The sound of the motors,
the drape of the muleta
A court full of jesters
—reliving the lie

STRAWBERRY HARVEST

Waking up early with coffee
Toasting some english muffins
Serving with butter and strawberry moon
Kissing my husband with very berry lips
On this 9th day of June

Marshmallows slowly melting, 
toasting against an open fire 
smashed against a piece of chocolate and
two individual pieces of graham cracker....

Crunchy, chewy, 
sweet, and salty....

Simply a barrage of flavor
exploding in your mouth.......

Awful

       Gob full...

                 Wrawful

                          Offal.
     
                       Haggis up for an awful gob full;

                  Toasting the bard with wrawful offal!

love of butter,
in pancake fashion,
frying,toasting,
cooking with passion,
better cooked,
then eaten raw,
impatiance is,
my only flaw,
the aroma,
calls my name,
growling stomaches,
are to blame,
for the mess,
i've created,
my hunger though,
has been sated.

spelling mistakes and love....

Positive freedom,
nose in the wind
Negative freedom,
refusing within

Shaking and straining,
the spirits set free 
To pour or leave empty,
 at times disagree

Positive, Negative,
the labels of truth
Distilled combination
—like gin and vermouth

Crossing plains
Dressing the part
All in white
Golden halo
Wings spread apart
Flying high now
High now
Flying high

Dressed in style
Ready for the party
Tonight 
Tonight’s toasting me
Resting in peace

Come fly high with me
Come fly high 
High with me

Rest in peace 
Rest in peace
Rest in peace...

The crab is drab and sitting on a grab
                             Toasting his brown bread in the monster's lab
                                                The sea is creasy
                                                The crab is greasy
                                    He is street easy on a hansom cab...

H ilariously overwhelmed with
A pprehension and angst
P erpetuating exuberant celebration
P urposely released at
Y ear’s end

N eighbors 
E nduring a night of
W orthlessness

Y elling and toasting
E nthusiasticly with hopes of
A twelve month reprieve from
R esolutions

Pitched voices reach high merriment
as booms of laughter whip a roll--
gleeful cheers float on lamplight’s scent
prompting a gig that can’t control
wine-toasting with dear friends--it's late!
But endless tales do celebrate --
sentiments racing more hours’ toll.

So there I am , in the kitchen
trying to make some toast,
stood ages and ages
I knew the cooker was on,
I could feel the heat
why the hells my bread not toasting ?
ahhh-no, you donkey !
I've turned the oven on , 
instead of the grill
having one of those days
oh-dear.

Quietly toasting my skin in early morning sun
Sounds of Malta ringing in my ears
Hearts beating rhythmically within
Like engines revving
Cranes swinging
And stones dropping into place
Six storeys high
Birds wings heard fluttering around, trilling quietly
As noon brings peace, and noise withdraws
And people rest in the siesta....

Today’s the anniversary 
Of when my parents wed,
Which they would likely celebrate 
If they were not both dead.

It was 1947
When they tied the marriage knot,
Never knowing then that 33
Were all the years they’d got.

So they never hit the big one,
Toasting number 7-5.
I will raise a glass to honor them,
Their spirits still alive....

puffy sticky lovely lusciousness
smoothness personified 
light in my hands 
gooey in my mouth

melting fast into fudge
or rice krispie bars
love eating you in S’mores
and toasting you over a fire

puffy sticky lovely lusciousness
you are my bestie today
I tear your bag open 
ready to stick you on a graham cracker
 in the microwave…....

I miss happy sounds of our summers like:
Firecrackers crackling over my head,
The crackling sounds of marshmallows toasting, 
My Daughters kite rippling in the lakeside breeze,
Fisherman’s stories that go on boasting,
The sound of sticky aloe vera peeling of my Hawaiian shirt,
I miss the steady clicking sound of my reel,
And the sound of the caryatids as barbecued chicken is roasting,...

Wishing You A Fantastic New Year !!!

As I sit here in my four cornered room,
in the cold.. gray.. wetness of B. C.s  gloom,
I feel an emptiness – my life is void of your presence
as you, elsewhere, ring in this New Year’s renascence.

So you lift your glasses high, in cheer
for the coming New Year 
and remember that I am always near,
to you, toasting in, this New Year .

Love Bill ....

Chardornay… life's  bubbles ;
Cups toasting new graces--

Cheers! Holiday wine flows!
