Succulently Poems | Examples

P R a W N S

People often call you shrimp.
Really enjoy devouring you salted and fried.
A taste I get nowhere else. Where is my sauce?
Wiping you down with butter makes me salivate.
Nefariously delicious my friend; I will even eat you raw.
Succulently delicious, you make me smile.

I Need the Whole Thing

Lusciously lemon-like, luxuriously lick able and lovely.
Flourishing flaky forever fantasized cool, crispy, crust.
Sitting succulently, sending salivating signs impossible to ignore.
I sliced you into six pieces this time, rather than eight.
I am too hungry to have just a tiny bit; I need the whole thing.
Uh-oh. The meringue stealer is coming. I thrust you into a cabinet.
When she goes back upstairs, we will have our time together.
Just you and me. I am grateful for your sacrifice, my love.
The she I am talking about is eight, and looking for something.
I thought we had pie, she says. We don’t, I lie.
I am not about to share you, my love. No worries.
Only my tongue and teeth will violate you tonight.

It's All Good

It’s All Good

Slobbering kisses ain't so bad
and slippery tongues are grand to be had.
Tender touches with back sliding hands
are caressingly shivering and sensually rad.

Warm oil rubbings from head to feet
leaves one wanting for something horney to eat.
Nibbling on nobs is nastily sweet
while rustling in bushes is a tasty treat.

Hot steamy showers with scented colored soaps
brings heated bed wrestling with dripping naked hopes.
Whips and straps, tassels and ropes
bind in ways of tangled frenzied gropes.

Tickling adds rolling giggling spice.
A form of foreplay to succulently entice.
Let’s not forget that vibrating device
which can be used in any orifice to suffice.

And in closing as you knew I would
let me add just one more thing if I could.
We are all human and sex is a likelihood
so loosen up a little cause it's all good.

W O R D S

Wildly wonderful whacky ideas
Oscillating ordinary objects
Recreating reinventing rejuvenating
Developing deliriously delightful dendrites
Striving for succulently sassy sentences.

Pen Sated

My auspicious Holiday Muse,
it has a hunger pang...
A pen which merrily sings of words,
joyously written in the heart
Honored friends and guests 
invited freely 
to a feast of thoughts

Etiquette tableware articulation
is succulently presented:

Romantic spooning
lovingly receives
a lip passion dipped
extra helping

Fork tongue behavior 
gracefully parse admonished ...
Moist apology napkins passed 
hand-to-hand, are sure to 
both give-and-take receive 
a double blessing portion

Rational wit is the knife
that cuts this well-deserved, 
bountiful ponder platter
Tasteful thoughts are worth
twice returning for

All are consumed by fiery debate:
Enlightened rumination slow roasting
on an elevated, rotating spit

The more flame exposed,
the more tender 
the meat of the conversation get

The hearth of the heart
warmly contemplate 
delectable morsels well reasoned

Toasts of love are ambrosia divine,
as is the 
meditative digestion silence time

Pen sated is about the gut gist of it

Just deserts for everyone, 
I do ink insist

True Autumn

a dance of seduction displayed
in painted passions
enveloped before these eyes

the burning of orange 
captured and teased
in an instance
then set on free

rich ruby reds
succulently dripping 
gleaming 
from its highest anchors 

resplendent she is
such form, such grace
exploding 
not waiting on time
nor space

imagination, true imagination
where green hints 
of winter moss move
reminding of a kiss
and of spring

rejuvenation renewed energy
sun re-awakens 
the dawn delivers 
planting seeds
bringing smiles
and semblance 
to the longing in my face





"Autumn reveals all her colours before Winter breezes in and tries to kiss you with her cold lips". Lady Labyrinth

For There Abide - An Ode To Bacon

For there abide beef, pork and chicken
and the greatest of these is bacon
hot sizzling crispy to the tongue
satiating succulently scrumptious bacon.

For bacon curries no favor
plays the field tempts the stoic and saintly
slides into gustatorial beds
romps with tomato and lettuce
hangs out with eggs, hard boiled and soft
mocks the ten condiments
bathes in the sinful seven
is prideful
lusts after
the last greed filled bite
of gluttony 
provokes the envy
of slothful
greasy lust.

Ah, bacon
you grease the skids
of dietary destruction
stalk the fat cells
of cellulitic cravings
tempt the tendrils of scent
with your aphrodisial aroma
inducing a pheromonal fling.

Oh bacon
you promiscuous panderer
curvaceous little porker
I believe
I trust
I lust
in and after your truth.

Under the Stars

This night, my sweetheart, is ours to savour
Take a luscious bite of eternity
Leave the world behind in a distant blur
Starry sprinklings endowed felicity
A luscious moon above our balcony
Whispering promises of ecstasy

Rules of seduction by which we abide
Lawless magnetism by own admission
To a temptress breeze our dreams we confide
Succulently guilty of volition
Under a slight veil of superstition
Orchestrated by some sweet magician

What spellbinding enchantment resonates
Just as two hearts solemnly acquiesce
A wave of elixir intoxicates
Fully entranced by the slightest caress
Rendering two mere mortals powerless
In love’s entangled web ageless timeless 

Together waltz amidst constellations
Exposing love’s sweetest revelations

Glory of Her Magnificence

Oceans apart
buried under sandy shores,
a rare pearl slept comfortably
behind her walls.

Fate must have been kind,
for a common man like me,
to stumble upon her shell.
As I brushed away her debris,
astonished - my eyes could not believe
this beauty, revealed before me.

Spellbound - I could not help but stare,
stunned by the glory of her magnificence.
As she took one step forward,
unutterable sensations,
took a hold of my emotions.
Yet I remained motionless,
overmastered by this
majestic heavenly vision.

And I could have sworn it was a dream,
until the softness of her fingertips,
graced the imperfections of my soul,
and for the first time it felt perfect.
All of a sudden it felt like we were floating,
ascending towards a myriad of stars,
with the moon guarding us silently.

Stardust sprinkled with the sight of her smile -
how fortunate was I, to celebrate this artistry.
Her lips blossomed like flowers
as they succulently caressed mine.
Breathless,
without saying a word her eyes acknowledged
my vow for eternal devotion with ever lasting love.

My Raspberry

Soft edible fruits,
My love,
Time to get you fit,
Juice your fruits,
My darling
Be healthy
Squeeze,
That’s the trick
Succulently tender,
Press firmly,
Ready!
In a shake,
Fill your glass,
Rich in red flavor,
Kissing your
Palate plate,
Tenderly 
Extracting,
Picking 
From the bush,
Raspberries
Seriously
Extremely,
Deliciously,
Good.

If I Could Change the World

Bugs, spiders and an insect-free world,
Dangerous animals were gone,
Snakes disappeared,
Crocodiles, alligators, and sharks,
No longer exist,
Children could swim happy and free,
Nothing was alive that could hurt people,
Viruses colds and flu evaporated,
Sickness illness departed,
People never got the taste for animals,
Vegetables filled the earth,
Growing without planting,
Reseed like grass,
Nuts and berries ever abundant,
Pollination just happened,
A generous rich evergreen coverage,
Ready ripe succulently beautiful,
Juicy fruits sprouting everywhere,
Hanging from our houses, walls and gates,
The earth would germinate and shoot buds,
Without any help from humans,
Life would be so easy,
Even children could feed them selfs,
People would be slim and healthy,
The waters pure for drinking,
No additives or preservatives,
Or factory produced foods,
No evil could exist in people,
Our brains could only feel love.
If only I could change the world.

Living In a Dream

There we are sleeping in bed
then we arrive in a dream
totally changed from our normality
nothing will be what'll seem
 
On one such occasion I dreamed
walking in midst of a wood
so beautiful in colours so green
it held me still aghast I stood
 
As I walked along what did I see
hundreds of stalls serving fruit
it looked so fresh and juicy
succulently tempting from head to foot
 
Along the way met many friends
I had known from the past
but also met new ones so unknown
this night was running real fast
 
How could all be there together?
all at same time all knowing each one
this is indeed a confusing mystery
but then I awake all's been done

Silent Streams

SILENT STREAMS

Silent streams resonate yesterdays
puddles
while we discount that our lives are
packed with lunatic
floods
let’s talk of strawberries that are
tasteful and succulently
arduous

We are as gentle as the storms
eye
as mild as a quiet hare-brained
crazy mad-capped
fire 
we whisper that our universe
and splendour can never
expire

Will the Rain Return To Make Us Fight the Stormy Weather

I found a kind moment lost  in your cloud tear

The heavenly water washed away our pain and fear

It drowned us both with love and took away the sin

The rain drops of hope began to cling to our skin

The torrent showers flowed through your heart and mine

Kisses followed succulently between the liquid sunshine

The storm continued while our love deluge grew

But all at once it turned from drenching to dew

The sun shower returned and warmed our souls forever

Will the rain return to make us fight the stormy weather

Succulently Sweet Pumpkin Pie (Epulaeryu)

“The finest poetry
     is the most feigning.”
           —William Shakespeare


Smelling scent soothe my soul
Sits in sleek oven
Simmering Jack-O-Lantern
Smile so nicely
Saliva pours for
Sweet pumpkin
Pie!
