Best Banquet Poems

My eyes were sorely struck when once they perceived
verity in your insightful words. Oh, how they grieved
when you chose to kneel low enough to kiss the ring
of a cunning being, whose unmerited praises you sing

My ignorance would have been a cliched state of bliss
if I'd...

There is a special banquet
that shall be held for a King
Everyone shall receive an invitation
they are sent daily 
directly to you
not to look in your mailbox
for He shall invite all
even those without an address
He says come as you are
no need to go and buy outfits...

He gave me only crumbs to feed my soul
A famished heart in need, I asked for more
I could not please him for he was not whole
His heart was hers and he had locked that door

I longed to eat of banquet of his love
The night grew...

Some years from now
the Devil throws a banquet – 
In hell, of course – where he alone 
unquestionably rules:

A banquet table plated for 
greedy fools: to his right,

unable to tell where he is – 
so after a brief,...

Just as when I look for rain, my eyes look to the sky

There is one thing in this life, that I can clearly see
Just as the Lord made me for you, he made you...

Banquet At The Dark Knight's Castle

Your damned lies, 
      cast for fickle fame
Muffled cries
      'tis but a game...

Hold your false crown,
      bow at cloven feet
In glee you drown

Midst a banquet as life defined
Where careless pleasures are consumed
And at the table children dine

Midst a banquet as life defined
Where steps in muted servitude
Rush to aid a mirth refined

A famished cur desires crumbs!
And midst a banquet, as life defined
I grin, complacent, rendered dumb!...

The merry men and Robin Hood
Were drinking in the local wood
And roasting harts.*

The meat, they said, was very good;
They even ate, it’s understood,
The private parts.

A baked potato and a six-pack of beer!

I didn’t want to let her down. She was a fellow teacher in the language institute and a very dear friend. When my husband went on trips, which was often, she’d look out for me, so when she made the suggestion to go to the...

Yet, there at the table…I couldn't help but sway and dance in my seat. Yes, dance while throwing my black mane out behind me, my arms moving in sync with the beat.  My students looked at me and smiled, surprised to see this "crazy"...
