I am Hungry

I am hungry

Your jelly-black eyes stare at me with scorn

If only they gave me some corn!

Red velvet lips part in anger

Yet, are wished together by coriander

Apple pie high in the sky hopes 

Now that makes my tummy rumble!

Your flared nostrils

A nosey piece of frosting banished to the graveyard

Once called my stomach

Years do not add on to ears

Delicate, yet incredibly strong 

They can never go wrong!

I am hungry

And hungry poets make no sense

Or nonsense

Will it be weird if I told you

I see our tongues 

Wrapped within our lips

Dancing on a twilight night?

Tks, Wow, at first I thought you were about to divulge a secret family recipe for cornbread or Apple pie (Granny Smith apples only!) only to see the write develop into a sly tweak of a relationship, going sour? Or will that twilight night dance actually ripen and flourish? A very thought provoking piece very well written. take care...dan

Ahhh dan, we will have to wait and see which shall happen :) and goodness me, I would absolutely love me some cornbread or apple pie! Goodness, you've made me hungry again! aaarghhh!!

An excellent ditty Tks. I like the wit behind the message.
My favourite lines are:
"Red velvet lips part in anger
Yet are wished together by coriander" - superb poetry.
