Best Joie Poems

Paris then was a place
Where new ideas were
Brewing in the intellectual 
And art communities
And new ones were
Emerging everyday
Some brilliant some not 
Time will make it clear 
What is what
But then it was an exciting
Paris of the time of Artaud

Andre Breton the leader of surrealist
The movement...

joie de vivre for no reason at all 
engulfs us like a mist, from head to toe
rapture unbound throbbing in this bliss squall
heart feels within, moment to moment grow

myriad thought spirals orbit our form
eye of a hurricane is always still
cascading bliss currents, both cool and...

Joie de Vivre - isn’t life sweet,
especially when you add a treat
like a delicious patisserie,
crème glacée, éclairs, le pan de mie,
chocolat, and le tarte aux fruits?

Eat not just fiber, cheese and meat!
Though you should eat these happily,
eat also sweetly, mon petit!
Joie de vivre.

Just one more...

He remembered the day 
Before he was exhausted 
And his soul was very sick
He was suicidal that night
But when he woke up
From his nightmarish dream 
His soul was not hurting
Anymore and felt clean

He came back to Paris thinking 
He was healed and free of pain
His...

Joie de Vivre*  (Shakespearean Sonnet)

We watched her birth in awe of God's sweet eye
as she burst forth through pain at time's behest.
The sun rose full, a rainbow traced the sky,
when God saw fit to grant our one request.
We checked for toes and fingers set...

He was sitting alone in the corner 
In a little cafe at the painting of Monet
And was talking to imaginary friend
About thinness opaqueness fear
Sensation of heat cold anger despair
Cruelty he claimed is the language of reality
Not the barren lame poetry with vulgar
Metaphors hiding behind empty...

'Tis said that the young girls of France
At the age of twelve lose their pants
To an handsome young knight
Well equipped for the fight
With a strong but flexible lance

Les Françaises are known to cavort
For sex is their national sport
That thing between thighs
Is the Font of Sighs
Though...

Upon a whim arising on this sunny springtime morn
hearing birds perform their songs at the crack of dawn
my knapsack packed already with a tasty picnic lunch
bread with cheese and wine
oh such a scrumptious tasty brunch
so full of joie de vivre am I for the day...

Spectacular sphere
that glows my night,
bleed me to space,
I feel no fright

Smiling your face
looks down on me,
gazing to sky,
I’m smiling in glee

This madness hits
strikes me in love,
floats to celestial
on songs of the dove

A Serenade De joie
caste into dark light,
dimpled in sprinkles
stars blazing bright

A man on the...

The time is here for me to take my journey to the sun
For spring will soon arrive and full of life my time has come
Winter months spent all alone, whilst bubble wrapped inside my home
Away from freezing frost and ice and winters gleaming snow
Sleep restored...

Inspired by the painting La Joie de Vivre by Pablo Picasso 

Spontaneity and synchronicity 
Tacit simplicity 
No such thing as a bystander here
Amazed at my capacity to switch gear
Here, to be, is to be complete
Tantalisingly aware of each heartbeat 
There I was, aged, thinking 
My...
