Behold the buckets
full of plump, golden peaches,
freshly picked from yonder tree,
succulent and sweet,
to blend in homemade ice cream
or bake in tasty cobblers.

CHEESE
Swiss, Blue,
Limburger

All curdled and aged
into aromatic
slabs of tasty nourishment.

“An Epicurean delight!”

Someone will notice I’m gone
if I don’t get back by dawn,
or at least that’s what I thought,
while struggling with bonds so taut
they were making my wrists bleed.

Next time, I’ll be taking heed
to warnings given about
dating such a perverse lout,
who loves inflicting great pains
with his heinous whips and chains.

Candy kisses
make Misses smile.

Grasshopper performs
romantic rhapsody on
sultry summer nights.

Just one more trip down Whiskey River
because the pleasure brings a quiver.
I do love me whiskey!
It makes me feel frisky,
until it rots me (BLEEP)in' liver.

Concrete and asphalt gobbled up the land,
like some PacMan monster's ravenous spree.
When mankind attempted to countermand
God's commandments with such audacity,
colossal structures were all you could see.

Behold! Dainty lilies of the valley
poke their heads up in a putrid alley.
In something akin to a Rugby scrum,
vibrant elements of Nature rally.
The power of God's grace will overcome.

TV commercials
imploring me to purchase
candy and jewels,

but she wants to buy
one-way ticket to Reno
for quickie divorce.

We danced lightly through time
in a tightly choreographed Utopia,
until it fell apart
in a heap of photographs and memories
of a life stained with lost love
and Mendocino wine.

I made her happy once,
but the sun went down on that romance
and left me wallowing
in the muck of deep despair.

Hoping for a change of luck
and some kind of distraction
to sooth my heart,
broken and wracked with pain,
I hopped in my royal blue El Camino
and headed east toward Reno
without taking a backward glance.

Amid the ruck of losers
at the glitzy Eldorado Casino,
I struck gold
when a lovely Angeleno lass
sat down beside me for a game of keno
and relief from the bruises of betrayal.

We hit it off right away
and went out for a cup of cappuccino,
before heading west
to celebrate a fresh start
with a bottle of Mendocino wine.

Majesty
evokes ooh’s and aah’s
from all who approach the scene.
Sprawling, curling limbs surround viewers.
Magnificent presence is
proof of God’s glory:
Angel Oak.
