Best Beribboned Poems

Boughs of evergreens grace mantles above fireplaces.
Children await Santa Claus with smiles on their faces.
Beribboned wreaths are hung on many a front door,
but to me the spirit of Christmas means so much more.

The greatest gift was not found beneath a tinseled tree.
It was Jesus Christ,...

As the sun shone in southern skies, I was finally on my vacation,
And I turned the pages of a magazine, with new fashion creations.

I lounged beside the resort pool, in a straw hat and sunglasses,
Sipping an exotic cold drink, as clouds drifted by in puffy...

A full heart chokes
too full to feel
anything but broken.
Seems all is lost
and only phantoms linger
must I remain?

A hollow husk, a remnant
yet, engorged and choking 
on maudlin memories lingering
I cannot stop the feelings
the haunted thoughts of loss
surrounded by what’s broken.

Rise up, wrap, beribboned breaks 
yes, I...

Reflected in a silvered mirror lies a lustrous crystal bauble
         Beguiling bribe veiled to eyes adrift in denial
           Atonement for his guilty heart,  a souvenir

Our garden's masterpiece,
Fairies in each fleur-de-lis,
Blossoms of gauzy glory,
Perennial veils of fairy stories,
Beribboned spangle treasury,
Fairies flitting so flowery,
Our queen of ruby roses,
Posies for all, one supposes,
Flowerets the best cuddle,
Essence of Spring, residual,
There are fairies in the flowers in our garden,
One ruby rose--then a garland!!...

(For a contest). Word Group 3.
Oh, a plane ticket to meet my one true love,
Plus a secret box, on the lid a dove,
Inlaid a jewelled masterpiece,
Fairies in each fleur-de-lis,
Blossoms of gauzy glory,
Perennial veils of fairy stories,
Beribboned spangled treasury,
Fairies flitting so flowery,
Our queen of favourite ruby...

Beyond the veil where daylight fears to go
Behind a swathe of heavy silken mist
The heady scents of smoke and roses blow

Along the paths that secret lovers know
Are wood and blossom tangled in a tryst
Beyond the veil where daylight fears to go

Within the subtle stream’s beribboned...

In Devizes, during Carnival, we have a Confetti Battle...

We dance in town, as bright confetti falls
Upon our hallowed ground, we move as one
The old and young among the market stalls
All blessed by Ceres and the setting sun
We move as one, we laugh, we catch the...

At 76 I’m walking a shorter path and I’m not sure how I feel
However, I think an additional 100 years of life would be ideal
It would give me time and chances to take a shot at everything;
Run the Boston marathon or on a gymnastic bar...

Good cheer, my love, as we venture forth

Over land and sea without recourse

Banished to rove us we three

No matter the tempest, remember me

As I was in our former life

In love promoting,you formed your wife

No trickery connived to gain my trust

In wooing me you contained your...

In cities of affluent urbanity,
why are kids so rare in the vicinity?

In backseats of their glitzy cars,
no tots there licking choco bars.
Instead they have beribboned cats
or manicured dogs wearing hats
going to sauna-spas for pets,
some to clinics of doting vets,
others to lawyers for insurance
or pet's fabulous...

"It's in the bean"
He told me

A very ornate display it was
Almost baroque in decoration
Each beribboned box    by itself
Important!

"The bean is grown in just the right climate"

(Only accessible by donkey)
I thought
(A horse    lacking perfect balance
might fall off the mountain
those steep...

On the night we first met, stars were shining bright
Somehow, I knew we'd become more than friends
I offered you a yellow rose in the glow of moonlight 
while I was thinking, "I hope this feeling never ends."

Six months later we tallked about hopes and dreams
I...

They had kept me imprisoned there for three full days,
In that sparse, solitary room, of scarce sunshine rays.

Having good food to eat, had never been a problem; 
They brought hot meals, but the problem was boredom!

At least, they had the good grace to let me...
