Tasty Poems

Pie-Faced

I've oft been offered but not tempted by
large helpings of pie in the sky
from too many crooks
who indeed the broth did spoil
and so as not to be sullied
by such greasy oil
I stay out of their kitchen
not because I can't stand the heat
but what's on their menu
ain't my cup of meat
apple or cherry by the slice

Premium MemberTasty Morsels

Tasty morsels may swim by 
I’ll just duck down and check it out 
Instead, a big fish I do spy 
Tasty morsels.

Although this looks like a brown trout 
Or maybe it is a walleye 
They’re far to big I have no doubt.

I’ll take a breath and then retry 
If nothing’s there, I’ll go without 
I

I munched on some brownies with cheer

But soon things became unclear

The world spun around

I fell to the ground

And laughter reduced me to tears

Premium MemberA Tasty Meal

A fisherman said as he cast his reel, 
"I have a delicious dish",
to a fish. 

who said,

"A fly is a tasty meal
for a trout,
no doubt, 

but for bass or eel, it's not ideal. 
Furthermore, this is no fly.
Goodbye.

Premium MemberChocolate And Vanilla Melt And Merge In To One

A hot sweltering sticky humid evening
Heat clings and hangs in the stagnant air
Almost too hot and stifling to bear
Floods of silver wet ovaline beads
Perspire and exude from every opened pore
Trickle and slide in small ravines
Skin soaked and shines and glistens
Under subdued ambient lamp light
Darker varied shades and tones
Paint and cast shadowy patches
Upon contours crevices and

Tea and Other Such Things

Have you ever had a Christmas Tea?
I used to say, "It's not for me"
'Til recently, I tried it, see
Turns out it's the best I've had

See, I never liked hot drinks at all
I much prefer cold, in the fall
I order iced, in sizes tall
But this one isn't bad

It smells like citrus in the house
While the radio

Premium MemberThe Best Soup

Start with potatoes, skinned and scoured
Add onion and cream that has soured
Season with pepper, stirring well
Sprinkle in some salt and just smell!

Potatoes should cook until done
This is tastiness that’s homespun!
Fill a bowl with soup, sit a spell
Sprinkle in some salt and just smell!

Couldn’t love this soup any better
Best in times we wear a sweater
Soup so

Premium MemberA Buck Dreams of Tasty Spring Treats

Oh, for the taste of a sweet, juicy berry,
some sweet rose petals would make me happy;
I'm so tired of woody browse and acorns,
my throat gets dry and my teeth are worn.
For an aging buck needs good sustenance;
I hate the browse cracking, such dissonance!

I long for tree buds, tender grass and shoots;
I'd kiss a squirrel for

Premium MemberOde To Tasty Tangy Marmalade

marmalade in my refrigerator
marmalade in my tea
marmalade in my dreams tonight
marmalade makes me feel free

I love her orange-y flavor
her taste makes me happy all day long

With this happy upbeat song

She makes me feel happy
I am smiling all the time
I love her on my toast
I love her sweet tangy tasty brime

Tasty Success Is Never Hasty

A goal may be damn tough
If efforts are wisely increased
You can put to the goal cuff
By wisdom, you will be eased,
To discouragement, turn deaf
Then to help you, God is pleased
Today start, before that, you pray
Say to yourself not to have dismay
Play by solving problems on your way
If success is by you very easily got
It will

Premium MemberThe Refrigerator

The refrigerator helps us 
To store food fresh 
And keep them longer 
We  don't have to go to market everyday
But finally we find that 
We store a lot of extra food 
We forget to use food in time
After long time of storage
The food may change its  best quality
And we are eating less tasty

Premium MemberThe Tasty Bits

Initially, I was convinced
that she barked madly at the moon,
enraged to find that tasty bit
of cheese was out of reach again,
diurnal pantomime played out,
quixotic tiltings of the mind,
quotidian, unfiltered thoughts
best left to unrecorded dreams.

But unbeknownst to me, there lay
hidden within those stranger lines,
contagion or a viral code,
a stowaway that slipped through the
defenses of my mind

Premium MemberTasty Democracy

Tasty democratic roots
are made of trusted vines

Healthy democracy
does not chronically debate
to derail indigenous theocracy
nor diminish pursuit of individual liberty
to co-invest in political
and religious
and sexual powers
of cooperatively focused light
bright polyphonic harmony

But does compassionately refine
individual human freedoms
to do whatever successful private investors
and elite asset owners 
can easily afford to self-define
as destiny anthro-divine

To monoculturally become
whomever the almighty 
supremely
