Best Frivolity Poems

Temporal Dilettante Journalist 
David J Walker

no-thing need not name the nameless 
breaks the morning in disguise 
shakes the shame and wakes the shameless 
quench tormented turbid eyes 
the bootless errand realized 

who shakes the hand but shuns the banquet 
a polymath of nullity
a picnic spread on follies blanket 
the argot of a fervent plea
omnifarious frivolity

Life's Frivolity !!

I have walked the tight rope of chance.
I have trod the razor’s edge of risk.
I have flown through many thoughts of. 
I have taken wing passed all that could have been. 
I have, with much of life, the world of humanity – seen.

There’s an air of excitement
Amongst most cultured of Spain
Centred around a little hamlet
On the Andalusian Plain.
They are arriving by the plane load,
Helicopter,  and even limousine 
For the opening performance of
An event never ever before seen.
It’d the Ballerina, late of Barnsley
And her dance partner the Toreador
Who, after months of rehearsal
Are now ready to take the...

Finally leaving the stage after
Twenty  seven encore calls
A huge sense of elation as 
The last curtain finally falls.
There’s all the media interviews 
That she has yet to face
Then perhaps she can retreat
For a while to her private space.

Treated like minor Royalty 
When she visited her mum 
Back home in Barnsley after
She’d danced the Sugar...

FRIVOLITY

pleasure
 of  people-watching
 witnessing
ruses
 subtle
  or blunt

 the prospect
of spectacle
so
 diverting d
&
amusing
 scrutiny
at a glance
 ostensibly
a
light-hearted
 ticklea


an
 unsuspecting
 cascade
 of
the
 bright
&
hyperactive
bubble
of
the
simultaneous
prompted
by
 pretensions
in
a decorated
  gleaming view


NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE   using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable....

She wore a singlet and a tutu,
Ballet pumps and slide in hair
And she practiced rigorously
With concentrated care;
But frankly her dancing skill 
Was rather one of dross,
Her Dying Swan resembling
More of a drunken Albatross.

Then she met a Bull Fighter
Standing in the Barnsley rain
Cursing under his breath
That ever he left Spain.
Now they thrill discerning
 Audiences every single...

Mere faith in oneself
is not enough to build strength,
confidence makes one thrive;
leave all failures on the shelf!
Fear makes a liar shrive,
he's afraid of a wavelength!

Survival is not frivolity,
rather a required amenity
to instill confidence in us;
take grit and defy doubts!

Plan ahead your long-dreamed journey, 
either in outer space or on high seas;
captains are never afraid of...

The awful insignificance of history
is laid bare by the titillating lightness
and frivolous form of our real lives....
