Silence,
mutely vibrant,
whispers over mossy
covered truffles and maneuvers
softly....

Cock-a-leckie soup
A vegetable 'haggis'
Drambuie truffles
Whiskey syllabub
One or two

Snuffling for truffles
Scenting morsels of delight
Delirious swine

Drowning in the oyster beds
Drunk on mysterious wine

It really was quite a kerfuffle
And a series of violent scuffles 
I kept wrestling a pig
But he grew much too big
So instead we went searching for truffles...

At dinner...naughty lips pout from tooth-ache!

SHORT-SIGHT   IS NOT LIMITED TO PIGS



Swine scorn a pearl, greedily grubbing for truffles.
Their ignorant grunts are taken for granted.
They can’t see very much at all  -
Pigs just can’t see beyond the next acorn....

Hearth shaped
Box with truffles
Saciate the craving for
A non-existent feeling that
Often is misknow and labeled as love

Listen carefully to your heart
Illusions cloud the mind
Deceiving you
Always

I once met a girl from Niagara   
who made a great pate de foi gras
with fatty goose liver
and truffles, a sliver; 
and a whole spoonful of Viagara.

All I want for Christmas this is year is your time 
no scarf, no hat, no sock, no diamond ring of shine  
I don't need chocolate truffles or  10 foot trees of tall 
just a quiet hour with you and a smile that says it all ...

fragrance of the gods

Airy cistern reserves now spent
Each billowing mast folds its tent
Helios hurls his flaming trident
Through singed porthole flittering glint
Fiery sparks stream through each stent
Refracted waves in mercurial columns bent
Misty water colors shroud each gilded vent
Burnt orange truffles, golden ridges resplendent...

Give me only chiffon memories
     Layered in clouds of satiny ruffles
Fill them with immortal confection
     Fashioned with cherry and chocolate truffles

Take away the memoirs of rain
     The shadows of pain and wire mesh veils
Exchange them for lyrical chords of reflection
     For resonant whitecaps and whispering sails...

There lives a hog called foggedy boggedy 
You'll see him rolling in the mud 
wearing his boggedy boots quelching his fairy suds.. 
His pal called Horace Hoggedy snuffles for his truffles,
blowing foggiest bubbles in the  glorious boggiest  tub 
Hoggedy foggedy boggedy
Foggedy boggedy the hog 
Takes an afternoon snooze
Under a  boggy log...

The chocolate mixes with the cream
Waiting for it to fill all of me
I pause, in hesitation,
for i know i am not clean
He ask if i am sure,
I say yes,fore i know
the good scrubbing I am
in for

The smell  is astounding
My heart is pounding
My self self esteem is drowning
I know i am worth more

but i cannot resist being your
truffle butter whore

The dark and milk and whites
I deal with everyday
To make tasty delights
Night and day

Truffles and candies and mints
Enriched with nuts
And strawberries that hints
Of jelly filled cuts

Flowers with Chocó centers
Are hard to make
A challenge for all bakers
They do so easily break

The rich creamy chocolate
Melt very fast
The clients do hate chocolates that don’t last....

Did you find that port
where the sea greets the land
with pearls and sparkling fishes?

Was the voyage you took to get here
full of storms or near misses?

In the autumn woods were there truffles
or sprained ankles?

Does your soul roam
though you stay at home?

When your ship arrived
did you sigh as if at journeys end,

or did you weigh anchor
for a new port, a new friend?...

wrap up some pairs to share with whom you care
apples would be fine,  tucked in corners of the basket
fill in some truffles and ruffles of ribbon to  adorn
giving and caring is a gift that one does not see.

those who receive  can partake of the fruit and give thanks
treasure the generosity and value of the giver
the one that gives from the heart and not the mind
and retains the value of caring  which nurtures both...

Sunshine smiling smarties on sugary snowy slopes
Eating éclair evenings where everyone elopes
Cotton Candy climbing with cascading caramel
Delicious dancing donuts devilishly desirable

Jumping jealous jellybeans jousting with the jujubes
And tasty toffee truffles taunting the tootsie roll tubes
What a Wonderful Wunderbar World of Mr. Willy Wonka
A virile victorious vision before we get to the Vodka.
