Best Conviviality Poems

On a fine April day, set out in the great cruise ship, Titanic,
Into the pelagic waters of Atlantic, with the weather alluringly sweet.
Plush it was with beaming fellow travelers and amenities astounding.
A journey of great excitement under a star-studded sky at night.

With the crew so...

A dapper morning awaits
         as I gaze out
        to an awakening
       steeped in conviviality
         so palpable...

Adoration grows tenfold, sublime serenity convenes
Above the starry skies I see legends meet
Cloaked in a whisper of a mist delighting the mind’s eye
Gently gliding towards my sight I draw a deep sigh
Contemplation of wispy memories long said
Succumbing to whimsical, perhaps unheeded shred
Great beauty insistent in...

                 All Clouds Lead to You 


       Imagine us, high above the earth,
       Laughing on a silver-lined cloud,
       Filled with sensuality and...

How Times Have Changed~

We ran so innocently in lush, soft, beautiful grass!
Dreamt of wonderful futures on the finest, fresh smelling sheets.
Mother treated each child as her very own angel creation.
When apart, we pigtailed beauties, actually called each other on real phones!

Sadly, the deliciuis times of...

The gray exhaust of  twelve warm hearths
Chased the clouds into the afternoon sky.
There stood the stalwart mansion
At peace with its surroundings
And steadfast with its environs.
Beckoning an affectionate greeting
Just beyond the bridge, it appears
To give light the sublime levity
Of being a nuance of darkness.
Its façade...

A deep, dark kindred spider looms to proffer the sentiment, 
That abuse just objectifies the long persistent winter:  
Scouring around playfully, but embedded in the night - 
Two way of seeing it but only one plight. 

That black body, its piercing eyes drive acutely,...

BEAUTY BLOSSOMS AT A BLESSING’S BEHEST

She was new to me on New Year’s Eve
Even when I felt my senses take their quickened and quiet leave
She had on high heeled purple patent leather shoes
And a patent pending on perfection
Until romance was reborn as rejection

Saliently I was...

Bursts of laughter and splashes of colour
Sounds of hilarity and tales of adventure
Sparkles of light and folklore dancing
Merriment dominates the order of things

Hark to the woeful, hear not sad cries
For tonight is the night the faeries unite
Capricious beings in evolving couture
Smiling and playing, the laughter...

That first non-rhythmical matter, 
Floated on the new dust of light, 
To whet the eleventh spark clatter, 
Such that its dividend split tight; 
A web, a sea of ringed atmosphere, 
Then a cob of meteoric compression, 
Hurling towards a black collapse here, 
To dent the...

Her fares
Feed my fainting frame.

Her genial gesture
Graces my gut.

Her beauty
Bands my body.

Her care
Clads my clay.

Her spirituality
Spurs my spirit.

Her tender talk
Tickles my thought.

Her conviviality
Is my compliment....

THE AL-ANDALUS QUARTET: PART TWO
CÓRDOBA / QURTUBAH   950 AD / 339 AH

From Madinat al-Zahra
and the City of Córdoba, the roads
to the Renaissance are renamed and
traveled, patrolled and protected, routed
and projected by the Umayyad Caliph 
and the frail conviviality of constituent 
cultures, which like...

(originally composed approximately a half 
dozen plus years since this revision now, 
September 13th 2018 ~ 12:48 ante meridiem, 
which missive, I came across scrolling down 
volatile Memory Lane.)

As my recent blank day of birth 
passed by unevent
     fully for this...

La Dolce Vita  Part One 

How sweet life is, indeed!
The air we breathe, our nightly rest.
Think back about your very first
steps.
You played games outdoors with
your nose not stuck to a screen.
You romped in the woods ever so
merrily.
Days of conviviality with no fear.
Just endless days and nights
with...

Avoirdupois

The endomorph enjoys our affection
as the comic figure of tradition.
Friar Tuck, Falstaff, and Old Toby
recall rotund revels and ribaldry.
Devils are always portrayed as thin.
the clown invariably has a double chin.
Unlike the hero, who's always victorious,
his wind and walk are somewhat laborious.
Though he's never very heroic,
who...
