Wheel Challenge: Pie

pie-ous

it is said...
the meek shall inherit the earth
but the pious
oh, how they pray
the same god that they
confess to each saturday
before partaking of symbols
body and blood on a sunday
fails to notice how wafer-thin
their mask of humility
and how he'll not notice
in genuflection's stoop
the indecent caress of their piece
carried secretly, without proper permit
the turgid little hope
that burns just below their heart
that he'll allow just one screamer
allahu akbar!!
to rise up in passion
prime target
for a sweaty-pawed patriot
hot to trot
 
pie-ratical acts

errol flynn sure knew how to buckle his swash, swinging from the riggings
 
pie-bald

his hair has grown thin
forehead elongated
age taken a hand
to quantity and shade
still he smiles
no desperation to his name
dismissing shenanigans
claims piebald is in!
 
pi-ne nuts

it's not alllll about pesto, though i am a fan, verse-atility!

salad nuts, delicate, buttery, will elevate listless mixed leaves
 
Pyrotechnics explode in my head every time he says baby doll, I love you too.

PIn-ak-o-saurus

millions upon millions upon millions of years
before ghengis was a glint in yesugei's eye
on a cool night when luck rolled his dice,
motley bands of pinacosaur-juveniles roved;
grazed as they trolled 'cross mongolian sands,
wielding clubs on their tail-ends as heavy as stone;
sporting custom-fit armour on each of their heads
that the latter-day general might swiftly have said
to adopt удахгүй (pronto) to shield his own dome,
had his armies uncovered some long-buried bones
that made sense of an ankylosaur less immense.







pinacosaurus - 80-75 million years ago, a genus of ankylosaurus but a smaller, lighter build

yesugei = ghenghis khan's father, his name translating to the number 9, considered a very lucky number

O-pi-nes

The opines of Agrobacterium
aren't opinions like you might think,
but rather explicit criterium,
with the gall to make them drink!
 
I think a carrot pie might be worth a try,
sweet or savory? No clue says I.
 
Py-rotechnics

New year’s eve kisses at midnight
lit by the exploding Needle
Reflected in Lake Union
Sparkling colors in the sky
Green and blue and red and yellow
Until smoke obscures

We whisper
Promises of adventure
Eager for what’s next
Heat thrumming through
the January cold

Spring turns to summer
Hot sunny days in July
Cicadas whine
Bikes and trikes festooned
Red white and blue
Patriotic strains
And bar-b-que
Kids frolic in the grass

As darkness falls bright lights explode
Starbursts, hearts, shimmering cascades
Thigh to thigh,
Arms wrapped ‘round
Your body cradles mine
Staring into the night sky
Pyrotechnics galore
Ohhs, ahhs and sighs
For this Chinese gift
On a summer’s night
 
Bad Pie

Dear Cousin Daisy. hi :)
It's been ages since we've seen you.
we're all fine except little Bri,
she'd a mishap in the kitchen,
baking for the reunion next weekend
poor thing, her toe is black and blue.
Love to see you there.

Bye,
Mazzie

P.S. If you come, bring a pie.
 
(Pi)nnacle

Sweep the portals, smile,
think about this wonderful slice of life.
Enjoying each forkful.
Lean against a porch post,
set the broom aside,
open up the windows,
tie the curtains wide.
Breathe.

road trip south
stop in at Spiffy's
just for the pie
and oh what pies
the case spins
bumbleberry
lemon meringue
strawberry rhubarb
deep dish apple
peach pie
chocolate cream
blueberry
key lime piled high
fresh strawberries
with whipped cream
pumpkin, rich and smooth
pecan, sticky and sweet
crusts flaky, latticed
and pierced prettily.
A single piece
served hot or cold
with icecream if you want
or...
buy a whole pie
deposit five bucks
for the pyrex dish
take it to the family
gathered in Portland
the only trouble,
which kind this time?
mouth watering
the pie still hot
the scent
filling the car.
 
Pi-neapple

mouth watering
golden flesh inside
spiky outside
bought fresh
card table in the yard
palm trees sway
in the salt air
already ripe
sliced for breakfast
mouth full of the island
a taste of pure love
tart and sweet
blushing as each bite
explodes in my mouth
fresh juice runs
down my chin
pineapple deliciousness

A Vernal zephyr through the window
Hear the new green rustle in the trees
Refreshing and cool in the large bathroom
I sit in my chair as the steam rises again
From the titanium white porcelain tub
She bathes among mountains of bubbles
Lavender whispers drift lazily in the wind
A gesture and she rises looking towards me
A slight nod of my head is all she needs
The razor glides smoothly across her skin
A swollen pink hue framed by bubbly lace
Smooth and clean to my satisfaction
Her delicious hairpie trimmed just how I love
Holding her towel and helping her dry
I look towards the soft candlelit bedroom
The covers turned down inviting us in
She slowly walks in and rests her head
On soft pillows and extends her arms wide
First one loop then another she is safe and secure
Closes her eyes and I am ready to feast
To taste her, touch, consume her utterly
With my love and lust deep into the night
