Best Lemon Poems

I know the land where the lemon-trees flower.
My love met me near them, to linger an hour.
I kissed him, I hugged him and smelled the sweet scent,
And prayed it stayed with him, wherever he went.
The day was so perfect, the skies were so blue.
The fragrance...

The incendiary wick
of a lemon afternoon
flickers in the lime lagoon
as sunset breathes fire,
tangerine scorching
lilting melon waters
until incandescence
drowns in dusk's indigo 
and coconut hills rise
to cerulean shadows,
when night whispers 
in plantain lanterns
swaying in the slender trees....

The Land Where the Lemon-Trees Flower

I know the land where the lemon-trees flower,
where citrus fragrance lingers after a summer shower.
In sun-sweetened India, lemon-trees radiantly bloom,
flourishing unfazed by tropical monsoon’s gloom. 

Glistening with dew drops, greeting each sunrise,
lemon-trees thrive beneath heaven's azure skies.

Exquisite five-petaled flowers of...

When I grow old
My body not yet cold
But the brown of my eyes
Turns to gray

I will wear a large hat
When I patrol through
My garden and keep the 
Weeds at bay

I’ll have big pots of this
And of course lots of that
On the stove for when

I’d been bitten by a mosquito she was such a hungry beast
She landed on my arm, and on my blood she had a feast
My arm got red and itchy as she’d taken a tasty bite
Two red bumps appeared, my poor arm it looked a sight!

I know the land where the lemon trees flower,
where we made love not war, we had flower power,
casual clothes, had an occasional shower
we loved nature,  youth of the human race
old generations thought we were a big disgrace,

was our generation, our time to live
a time...

When then sun sets east on a western shore
as the clouds laugh in the sky 
I will call your name as I close door
taking time to wonder why

In the second chance that I come to find
when the moon sings on the sea
I will thank the...

I savor the creamy batter.
Divining of lemony cast.
Layer cake that’s sure to flatter.
This sumptuous treat will not last.
The melt of his eyes, when he asked.
I squeeze, like a sponge, yellow fruit.
Up and down zest the bodysuit.
Ring’d finger frosted quick submit.
Temptation of icing acute.
Chocolate, curled white,...

Suspended like a lemon drop
 on the tongue of night
the moon melts 
on the clarinets keys

Haze, ever present,
 on this humid September eve,
blurs the edges of reality
calling forth images 
	of sweet beginning
the howls of wolf..
as the sax soars
and the warmth of blood.


A firecracker night
sparks
	spinning in...

"Lemon Drops"
 


a spoonful of sugar
makes it 
all go down

lemon drops 
medicine; monks -
zero ground

I know a land where the lemon trees bloom,
Where blossom exudes its delicate perfume.
Hummingbirds and bees live in perfect harmony
For nectar flows there abundantly.

Come then, my dear child, come, let’s take our ease
Under the shade of the lemon myrtle trees.
Close weary eyes, let soothing, restful...

During this unsettling time 
I find much relief walking 
beside the lemon grove.
I take my time on the 
same route every day. 

How the lemons 
and my life has changed. 

The trees have already flowered 
and small green lemons appeared. 
Soon they grew larger and...

Oh, the of zest in days of summer
take a bite 
these bright lemon bars

Preserved in amber, memories
of moon and stars
yours

Please pass your plate to me
I'll fill it with tastes
you almost forgot

Hear the song of that sweet voice?
music so rich 
all ours! 

Don't you do it..
don't...
