It makes me want to wish I were your perfume, 
So you c...

Corn Pop

...Feeling corny
By the sea
Stretched out baby
Please look at me

I got on my shades
Do you think I’m hot
This yellow tan baby
It ain’t store bought

Rub in that butter
Slather me up
If you ...

my inner thoughts

...My inner thoughts are usually hidden
Belonging to no one else; they’re mine alone

...Students their little burning harmonies | you compos’d it 
One single gallery | public arras blasé debate re-placed
Sheets just- | cool on clothesline whiskered with wear.

Nuts Galore

...In Nutty Dreams, a world so grand,
A sweet escape, a nutty land.
Nuts Galore, a vision bright,
An ocean nutty, cool and light.

I long to plunge, with joyous cheer,
Into its depths, dispelling ...

Why is it unbalanced?
Do I no longer li...

a crutch for you
but you wear it like a Prada suit
matching handbag, of course, to keep
your toys in …

Red Velvet Lust

...A quarter cup of melted butter
Slips quietly into the bowl.
Minuscule amounts speckled my lips
As I scatter in a mouthful of sugar. 

Not the first or last time,
I will create this dish.

Aunties Colors

...Her colors are outrageous the grays and tans said.
I loved them myself, so thought they were off in their head.
The other kids loved Auntie’s slather of gorgeous hues too.
For blah beige-type colo...

What Dog

...Have all you can eat.
Get it while it's hot
South Korean Dog meat.
With mustard sauce.
Some claim it's sweet.
Others say it's not
Slather on the cheese.
Before they're all gone....

Paint By Numbers

...Attempted paint by numbers, but it cheats with letters
that mix in unexplainable hues, distorting, desecrating -
I’m complaining. Not at all lavender in the sky, but peach.
It bobs at eye-level. I...

Roadside Poetry

But I grew up when Burma Shave signs were all the rage!

As I soaked up a tad o...
