Best Balcony Poems

This old oak-tree smiling through my balcony
Sways and swings cheerily, a happy emissary,
Budding new vigor upon tiny greenish leaves
Adorning exuberance of idyllic new morning, 
Quivering golden-beams on dawning of spring.

When the sun rises, blushing mauve feelings,
Its gentle oscillations fetch tender sensibilities
Inviting sparrows to grace the...

Take Me to the Balcony, Romeo!

On this joyful warm Spring Day, 
Let's hide in our private balcony and play!
This is all, your sweetest Juliet asks.
In your young, most passionate arms to bask.

You, like a god of a scented,sensual Spring, 
On my unblemished lips, please do implant,
Sensual seeds of...

Roses spread with lace garter;
Boutonnière and charter.
Green meadow eyes clung to lass.
Juliet was upper class.
A shepherd was he, with crook.
All gentle men, she forsook.
Under the willow, the wind
Warmed petals with no rescind.
Tempo was slow with his bride
Deep smile, a groom could not hide.
Underneath his ruddy...

There’s a balcony over Venice
Somewhere outside Dallas, Texas
Through a sliding glass door

A couple sits toasting to the croons of Elvis
With paper cup chalice
Upon their European back porch

Making conversation language love
Beneath candle moon blue August
The symphony inside plays, dog barks, six children snore

“May I have this...

On opening eyes
Looking, balcony I glimpse
Inverted by sight
Viewing naked silhouette
Emerge do I, excited

Le Balcon (The Balcony)
Charles Baudelaire
trans. Michael R. Burch

Paramour of memory, ultimate mistress,
source of all pleasure, my only desire;
how can I forget your ecstatic caresses,
the warmth of your breasts by the roaring fire,
paramour of memory, ultimate mistress?

Each night illumined by the burning coals
we lay together where...

The balcony bows like a bridge unmaintained.
Song birds are silent, their hearts uninspired.
Grape vines hunker down as if never trained.
Scarlet petals fall, their fragrance expired.

Shattered is the night sky like sharp glass shards.
Sparks, once in our eyes, liquify the ground.
Minstrels are mute in abandoned courtyards.
Pitter-patter...

It's full of my childhood memories
And those adolescent years...
The Poinciana tree,
All my sorrows and all my fears.
It's the place to be
For long waiting hours,
Those winters with bare branches,
And springs of vermilion flowers......

Balcony Room New Orleans

Headed to New Orleans to have some fun
Excitement is felt all over the place
Knowing that there is a balcony room awaiting
Didn't forget to pack the mardi gras beads
Throw open the french doors out to the balcony
Crouds of people walking up and down
Smiles...

The King stares out, beyond the white balcony
While he sits in his golden throne
Looking over all that he owns and controls; which in the King's power-driven mind includes
the stars and galaxy

The King peers out, over the white balcony;
Hoping the: rustic, simple, plain folk do not...

You’re lucky in the city
If a balcony is yours.
How nice, with just a step, to feel
The air and be outdoors.

And so, to share a drink or two,
A woman on a date,
Suggested that they sit outside,
Where atmosphere’d await.

She hopped up on the rail to sit.
Her date...

Sitting on the balcony of the modern world,
I wait for destruction to unravel itself.

As the golden sunshine greets a new morning,
I rise from bed refreshed and still yawning.
I cross the room lured through french doors,
By balcony blooms, green lake, and sycamores!

I delight in fragrance and in blissful views,
As I search eagerly for the golden day news.
Then barefoot I...
