Best Feast Poems

Passions burn in the depth of night,
Lovers yearning to be entwined,
Against the wind these birds own flight,
A trail hidden it's hard to find.

Emotions soar high out of sight,
As love explodes in hearts so warm,
They hold each other close and tight,
Embraced they lay in loving form.

The mean old housecat has bulgy eyes
when she looks at us in our fish bowl
Oh, how much we've come to despise
that big mouth of hers, the black hole

Poised to pounce with sharpened claws
She's taking jabs with hatred brimming
that ugly feline beast with drooling jaws
for us...

An oddly-shaped Thanksgiving bird:
   quirky 
   turkey

What we call Grandma's mashed potatoes:
   dreamy 
   creamy

How she adds volume to the main side dish:
   fluffing
   stuffing

What I always do first:
   eat Gram's...

I saw magical faeries. 
Tripping in and around
Sparkling wings shining 
In the dazzling sunbeams
That transversally filtered
Through the mighty beeches
Of a Bavarian forest.

A royal feast proclaimed.
The mighty Queen arrived.
And took her place on a throne
In a prominent part of the glen.
Sumptuous abundant delicacies 
Appeared out of...

Holiday dinners coming
Time to sit and feast
Moms afraid of infection
She worries about the yeast

Uncle Bobby wants some Turkey
He's picked out the wishing bone
If he is finally Lucky
He won't have to go home alone

Now the Turkey is boneless
The bread is not rising
The gravy is all lumpy

A hearty welcome to the feast.
I’m your host, the rhyming beast.
Great dishes I’ve prepared for you.
Please try each one on the menu.
Start out with the parodoxes
in these pizza looking boxes.

The more of them that you consume,
the more your stomach will have room
for all the other...

Many have abused and murdered using their religion to justify
Believing in a god will not save this writhing world
So what will?
God teaches us that only believing won’t cut it
There is something we must do
We must humble ourselves and strive to be holy
Because without submission to...

With night vision eyes
she held her supper in sight
as she stooped unheard...

Trash night
our street is lined with
overflowing garbage cans
because you have to pay x-tra
to have unlimited pick-up
the poorer class stack their trash to overflowing
the mouths of the cans propped wide open,
like a wino purging last nights glass-
     The raccoons will move in
toppling...

While taking a well-earned break
Enjoying the warmth of a sunny day
Feel the soft breeze brush against your face
Catch a glimpse of life renewing itself
Budding flowers, trees and the constant chirp
Of new born chicks tucked in their nests
I am grateful for all these simple things
Another day...

Lord
Your Word
Is manna
From heaven to 
My soul.  You have set
A banquet before me,
A feast of gourmet delights,
Waiting to be tasted, savored;
Spiritual nourishment for my soul:
Healthy and delicious, satisfying.

From the table of their heart
The poet lets the reader feast
Providing them a banquet of
Emotional delicacies

With humorous appetizers
And delicious uplifting desserts

The main course can be anything
The poet dares to serve

 It can come from the loft of happiness
Or the basement of despair
With tears of pain...

^she_  had a love/hate relationship with food
she only fed with her eyes,
i was a sparkless firecracker 
and spoke English like i hated it.

not the least bit compatible
in any department 
at any hour on any menu
she wouldn't even drink the water.

I would slip through the...

brothers and sisters
bow your heads
and lift your hearts

oh heavenly father
this morning we rise 
and step a bit closer to thee
the twilight, the eyes that see
we give thanks and praise for these

may the fruits of our labor be bountiful
and the nectarine oh so sweet
keep the door...
