Best Nuts Poems

"Nuts are in the soup!" 
That's what I've heard: not so absurd
Some add a pinch of spice now and then,
from wit and the sharpened nib of a pen.
Nutty little writers who like to fill
the soup with limericks about 'poop.'
But have other poetic skills.

Nutty as a fruitcake

No one wants to be; Nuts

Normally bring to mind

Nature's hard-shelled tree fruits,

Nutritious and yummy.

Naughtily I will add

Nude men are showing two!

Chewy chocolate chip bars
finger licking good
soft butter sugars oats stir
fold in flour mixture
add chips and walnuts
spoon spread and
bake !

In the dimmed theater, the stage is set
not for a play though, yet a performance 
one of baton, brass, notes, timpani 
the performance I have waited for has come

As the stage lights grow brighter like sunlight
the theater grows dimmer yet, almost dark
but for the brilliance...

Fell in love with a coconut
The tree stood tall outside my hut
Love sublime at first sight
I thought I‘d have a bite
Lost both front teeth right on the spot

When coco de mer trees were found
Their nuts had most people enthralled
They all thought they looked erotic
So "Love Nuts" is what they were called

Still unknown how they reproduce
Explained in some of the wild tales
On stormy nights, the female trees
Are approached by uprooted males!

Viewing this mating...

Thrown together
by circumstances
outside our realm
of control-
as in a bowl
our varied shells
create a still-life
a study in contrasts
of creative coverings
devised so well

Some like smooth pebbles
all polished and shiny
or rough and scarred
all coarse and craggy

Some barely masked like
peanuts, thin and papery
others heavily armored
walled off, impenetrable

Light and dark
bitter and...

I wrote these lines 7 years ago, slightly edited today. 
Perhaps they have more meaning now than they did then.

"There are so many nuts in the soup!" 
That's what I hear and see and it's not absurd.
Some poets add a pinch of spice now and...

Some think love and romance are sublime
Others feel they're a big waste of time
Both views maybe so
But there's one thing I know
Candy prices are surely a crime!

I'll buy her candies and flowers and charms
When we kiss I'll hear bells and alarms
But one thing can't compare
Is...

Everyone has to stand
Either side of the belt
In two big lines.
Line managers fill
Reserve boxes full of nuts.
Then comes the chocolate.
A column of chocolate.
We have to stand and
Watch out for the frays in the belt.
We must stay in our lines
And trust the boxes have been refilled
With...

 Poetic Crimes 

On and on
they go
the vaccine makes three heads
and sixteen toes

An elephant trunk
and five giraffe necks
not to mention a terrible
desire for Bill Gates micro softy

The 1600's sure had a basket
of stupid apples
how they bred them youngins
into 2021 is scary

Fools existed from the beginning

Life is like a nut,
Differs in shape, size, color or crust,
Life is like a nut.
For some, it’s like a coconut,
Beyond the reach, safe from gust
Very important, much privileged!
Whether unripen or matured.
For some it’s like a peanut,
Malleable, fit in budget 
Widely spread, versatile no doubt
However, down...

Split my banana and stuff it with cream
top with tantalizing treats to extreme
	nuts and silky sweetened balls
	gooey toppings form seawalls
nothing left out of a lover's wet dream...
