Best Picnic Poems

Four legs quiver
like clumsy cabrioles
striking smooth gray rivers
of zig-zag sidewalk barrios
in rhythm with happy shivers
syncopated on a muffled drum
as we talk and stroll

On our way
hand-in-hand
we persuade and pretend
this day away
taunting and cajoling to demand
laughing “hide and seeking”
chasing and skedaddling
poking and peeking
like cuddly pandas
or canoodling otters
splashing...

[Written during a twelve hour power cut caused by
Storms this past winter]

The storm that arrived in the depth of the night
Got even worse with the new morning’s light
Although I presumed that they’d already know
I contacted the electricity co

I asked if they knew the whole town...

                 The skies filled bulbously with
                 gray-filled clouds.

In a secluded tidy sandy bay 
In the delightful month of May
My love and I spent a whole day.
I had to show without delay
And thus, my feelings would convey
That my love was not hearsay.

I gave her a lovely bouquet,
With a red rose, a fragrant spray,
Bubbly...

activities they held, especially the hayride picnic!
 
 
 
The teenage girls brought baskets filled with food
While the boys braced for a romantic mood
     I...

This Is No Picnic
 
We packed up the grill and my uncle took us to the lake
I was hoping for a burger, maybe even a juicy steak
Amazed was I to see the cooler packed with frozen shrimp
What kind of picnic is this?  My smiling...

As I was sitting on a bench and I was looking at this tree 
Down ran a chipmunk, who came to say hello to me
 
I reached inside my tote bag to see what I could find 
To give to Mr. Chipmunk while he sat...

"The Sleeping Man at the Picnic"



What dreams this man has
to escape a world 
where his humanity
is a contagion 
soldier ants swagger 
holding gangster guns
he’s counting numbers
to avoid the dream
of the one he 
shares with 
the innocence 
of children

Outside the turmoil
we are a pin prick 
of...

The picnic was set for today:
A cause for two hips and hooray.
With Split and Blueberry,
Their time would be merry
That’s if nothing got in their way… 

The deviled eggs had to come first,
‘Cause a picnic without them’s the worst.
They proceeded to beg
The hens for some eggs,
And...

I want to picnic at the shore and put my feet in the sand
And watch the restless waves give themselves to the land...

I need to feed the gulls and smell the bite of the sea
Watch the path of passing ships and dream of you and...

Picnic time Aussie style

Picnic time 12 noon, is dinner time
Was had beside the river
We would grill our lamb chops 
On pieces of fencing wire
Quartpot was all a quiver
 
Tea was cast into the old Quartpot
When the water almost boiled
And boiling tea still I can see
Tastes...

Life was never meant to be a fairytale
But rather a copulation of incidents
That improves our knowledge base
By creating experiences to learn from

Life is more like a picnic
Good food, entertaining company
A soft blanket, sunshine and a cool breeze
Making a perfectly planned day to enjoy

But with each...

Sure.
Ketchup.
Pickle
Horseradish too.

Mayo 
Lettuce?
That’s up to you.

Are your patties thin or thick?
Can I gobble one down right quick?

A touch of butter
A slab of bacon.

Please put them on 
If mine you’re making.

Are your patties thin or thick?
Can I gobble one down right quick?...
