EVERYWHERE, EVERWHERE, TIS PUMPKIN SPICE
EVERYWHERE, EVERYWHERE, ‘TIS PUMPKIN SPICE!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The leaves haven't even thought about turning,
still stubbornly clinging to summer's green,
but the grocery store screams orange.
You see them, the usual suspects, transformed.
Twinkies, once golden vanilla sponge cakes,
now a suspiciously orange hue,
promising pumpkin spice bliss.
Hostess Cupcakes, frosted swirls of autumnal delight,
their chocolate depths now haunted
by the ghost of gourd.
Oreos,

Spice
They took my money again!
When will it end?
Lunch money is gone.
Even the milk money,
Not very funny.
Left my bus token,
To get home.
Now I'm hungry,
And all alone.
I'm

Sanga Banga
Who is the greatest from the land of the other hand…
The pure top draw..southpaw....
Lara or Spice Isle style.. guile and
Wiles of Kumar Sangakarra..
Who wouldn’t hanker in their seats
Various vicarious treats..Sri Lanka’s number one ranker..
Fancy dan talisman.. Tamil Totem of elan..
Run spanker & banker.
His unctuous umami like a sumptuous curry
Even at the end…flurry

The Spice Of Life
Mystique mist shrouds the penultimate path
to the future, fading away in obscurity.
In twilight hour the sunset swansong resonates
the echoless tune of forlorn somber life,
silhouetted against the faint skyline of longing.
The threads of turmoil weave
the blue motif with sadness mold
in craving satiation, riding the sensuous storm
to the blank mindscape of frustrated

Peppermint
Peppering the season
Praising God, the reason
Prayers for hearts and souls
Peace that always consoles
Preparing us for One
Prince of Peace, He will stun
Pure love has just begun

Sugar and Snowflakes
There is magic in ...
Sugar and snowflakes,
When wonder does begin
As December awakes
Where this magic comes from
Do we really need to know ...
From first bite to last crumb
O, how we enjoy it, though
These simple, pleasurable things
Dance and mix and melt ...
Upon imaginary wings ...
And with our feelings felt
Comes to us like a dream
These

SEPTEMBER FALLS
Silhouette of golden sun rays
Embraced by melodic moon
Pulling off this dance by day
Till seducing nights like groom
Elegant draft spilling colorful leaf
Mahogany trees bend in wind
Bathing in daily blue breeze
Eve chills that seem not to end
Ready for your pumpkin spice
Fast from summer’s abuse
Alluring amber hearts that fly
Love is a hot call for a truce
Lullaby of leaves

Autumn Spice
It’s the sound of wind, breathless, softly playing
Rustling through leaves with songs in richest essence
Collecting dreams despite quiet senescence
Gentling, lasting impressions grown through praying.
While the nights grow bitter, the trees keep swaying
Reaching for the moon in her adolescence
Lush splash of song with tones of fluorescence
‘tis the season of grace is all I’m saying
Dazzling colors,

Hot Apple Spice
I'm thinking thoughts of you right now
Of what, I'll say if you'll allow
They're not the kind that I can write
But what they are I'll tell some night
Or maybe not, and that's okay
I'll save them for another day
I won't forget, I'll tell you then
All you have to say is when

Spice of Life
Eat and enjoy life more
Eat and don't forget spice
Spice makes many things nice
Spice is great on vegetables
Vegetables with nutrients
Vegetables you can savor
Savor salads with leafy greens
Savor buttered corn or potatoes
Potatoes stuffed with chili
Potatoes in casseroles
Casseroles are numerous in type
Casseroles are yummy
Yummy are delicious sweets
Yummy are cheeses and meat
Meat that is roasted or fried
Meat such as
