Best Hosting Poems

Errant clusters germinating tightly,
        I invite them in. 
        I welcome them.

Fighting infection is far from the possible.

        Didn’t you know that laughter is...

Everything seemed secure 
Inside the crystal palace safe and pure 
Welcoming the claret wine 
For a taste testing and dine 
This evening’s match 
Featuring best grapes from Burnley’s vineyard patch 
Such a glorious exhibition 
Sit back, watch and listen 
Deciding seating places at the table...

Jeopardy fans are asking, “What the heck?”
While the producers try to replace Trebek.
I understand they are working harder still,
But, so far, no one has appeared to fit the bill.
How can it be so hard to find a candidate
Who has a modicum of ability to moderate?
When...

The planning, the cleaning, the shopping and then
The cooking and making things pretty.
The digging up toys for the grandkids for when
They (at last!) visit you in the city.

The setting the table and heating up food,
The waiting and counting each minute.

When the guests all arrive
And the food tastes okay
And the grown-ups watch football
While kids get to play…

It’s a magical day,
Calm replacing all stress
Though the clean-up awaits

Cling to every pore
And as minutes tick by
I wish there could be...

And set the table up ahead
(That mostly hides...

They all belong to hungry hate;

Whose fire of hell is losing,

Its fuel going to the tank

*Hollow Hosting Feelings - Day 4*

face like pages
seeped'n smirking ink
fostering felon flips
delicate chapters drip
font feigning feasts
meager metamorphosis creep

smiles like ointment:
sturdy substance rent
saucy stench's spell

porous sequoia posture
whooshing fashion bolster
fiery limbs features

delicate gaze digs
hollow hosting feelings.
