Best Jamboree Poems

Christopher Cricket
Lived out in a thicket
With his musical family

They slept by day
Each night they would play
At the Firefly Jamboree

A chorus of frogs
Encamped in the bogs
Would always accompany them

No need for a ticket
just come out and "kick it"
They will happily, welcome you in.

When panthers prowl and lions stalk,
the lone wolves howl and parrots talk.
The bee hives hum and wild boars snort;
the grouses drum; the deer cavort.
And as geese cackle, small hares peek.
They see a jackal, squeal and squeak!

Near streams are snipes where hoot owls hoot.
A nightingale pipes...

Was it his head tilt that stumped me—
Was it his keen variations of hilarity,
Was it his words—wild, strange, free,
Like a bird straight out of captivity? 

He had a frisky, playful tongue
That sounded like a friend
With no limitations save the time span 
Of sixty seconds—
There—none wasted—
No—a...

Cherry blossoms bloom;
the townspeople sing, laugh, dance:
hope springs eternal....

The world is corrupt, why can't we see
Our time here is limited, tolerance is the key
Too many have have died
Need to live side by side
Get together for a worldwide peace jamboree...

Railway bridges broken
Close to Kennesaw
Dreamin drivin alternating patterns of nightfall

Transcendental clothesline
Draw another frame
Elevatin transitory wielders of disdain

Washed beside the azure fabric
Of mystery melted and dry
Preservation ringing bells
To swallow your pride and
Try, magnificent, try

Telepathic skyways
Cloaked in jest unwound
Ruminating motionless, a coast without a sound

Intent on raising...

We could fly away to a whole new world
Like Jasmine and Aladdin 
Futuristic life like the Jetsons
Would you climb to the highest tower and
Rescue me, like Prince Charming
A hero is what I seek, kind and true
Show me how much I mean to you

Beauty and beast...

Elf awaits faerie’s invitation bright
Decorated with a darling cherry,
Faerie leaves an invite to elf at night.
She is fond of this fey named Harry.
Engage in festival, very merry.
Brownies, elves, and faeries, happily dance.
It’s the best jamboree in southern France....

8:45 am  in the Damian Domaine 
Some are sleeping some are peeping
What are we eating? Said Molly to
Dolly. "What ever we can?" She replied 
While still sleepy eyed checking
Supplies. So the crusade began 
Searching cabinets refrigerators
Freezers.  Amadeus was first...

Summer Jamboree

summer jubilee
 carnival spun in saffron ~
  long lemonade days

fields of sunflowers
glow like golden ocean waves ~
  summer fiesta

black-eyed susans spread
 into arid wilderness ~
  highway troubadours

drops of sunlight in 
 meadows of dandelions ~

Music of deception flows
Flipped faces metamorphose
In chameleon jamboree
I dance with me.

jaunty jack-o-lantern joined
jingly jangly janitors’ July jamboree

jaundiced Jasper, Jack’s jackhammer
juggled and jostled the journey in jovial jollity.

Jovial Jukebox Julep juxtaposed Jasper and Jack’s
jonquils, joining the July Jubilee

Javelin, a jazzy jaybird, jangled Judy’s jaguar,
who jabbered jokingly and jauntily....

Jamboree

Young catholic people from far-flung places are arriving 
in Lisbon, plain young boys and girls looking sober smiling
and waving to the camera.

Dressed in jeans and T. shirts that say something about peace
no hint of rebellion here, and no drugs needed as they are filled 
with...
