Best Soiree Poems

  "Sunset Soiree"

Sunset sleeps gently
embracing creamsicle clouds
golden eyes weave dreams.

Yellow horizon
Heaven's shadowed silhouette
twilight canopy.

Potpourri of light
Earthly umbrella sundown
magical painting.

Sheer magnificence
silky cornucopia
flame glows God's sweet breath.

Crisp leaves gaily dance
As red and gold parchment gowns
Swirl on Autumn winds

Going to see the beloved Nutcracker Ballet
Tchaikovsky's music, has enchanted us to this day
So familiar to all
Both big and small
A masterpiece for the ages, a magical soiree

Sparks of golden quarks
Amazing particles of heart
Pyrotechnic shower
Too fine 
Almost from cloud nine
Rise from the articulation-flood
In the fulfilled flow of fascinated blood
As effusive praise in Aha and Wows
The moment a poet finished an Urdu shayari in a mood of sunset
Like in the couplet:
“If someone were...

Soiree

We
Are “odd.”
Invite        us,
And  we  will  come
To    your   grand   soiree
And mingle with your friends,
Speaking  our  uncensored   minds
The  nicey-nice  types  always  frown
Oh...

Hip hip hurray it’s our Christmas soirée
With Georgia and Mark and Hugh and Ray
This is the only time we meet
To kiss and hug and meet and greet

There’s Sam and Maureen and Fred and Doreen
And not forgetting our Great Aunt Flora
She’s unattached and lives alone
A favourite...

in the early month of May
sunsets pink & orange in Santa Fe
in a top down purple Chevrolet
radio rhythm songs do play

Impalas, Novas, Chevys on display
route 66 rockin' in the U.S.A.

The Seagull Soiree
Is underway
At least a thousand of them
Fill the sky
In seemingly haphazard
Flight
Stopping and starting
As they’re darting in the air

But perhaps they are really doing
Their farewell dance to summer
Swirling whirling
Laughing and squawking
Their avian talking
As they head off 
To parts unknown

So long, Summer Seagulls
Until we meet...

Lifted lightly from familiarity
Sleep's gesture caresses cells
Taken to nearby bewilderment
Where stagnancy busily dwells

Liquid lambent shooting star forms fragment
Vapid vexations vanquished in fantasy's fire
Mist masked span transcends measurement
Vision's fusion surpasses language quagmire 

Imprisoned waking cognition 
held in category's secure structure 
Dispelled impediments crash cascade
preceding sleep's redeeming...

Merciless in your rebukes you walked up to me,
subtle, substantial, sophisticated & sarcastic & I liked
every minute of it, I liked the shame & humiliation
you put me through, the crystal chandelier
that was the highlight of my disgrace
the way our lips almost touched, but not quite
for...

My writings
Are nothing more than an excuse
To fill a heart by your beats
...
My writings
Are still in its infancy
To understand where is your seat
...
My writings
Are keen walkers, but sometimes paralyzed
To give a reflection of your being
...
My writings
Are far from paper, in a lineup
To arrange our nightly...

The sunset's autumnal grace of gold,
in the October gloaming,
a brisk breeze with wending fingers of
mist encircling the cold gray tombstones cracked.
Of a peaceful atmosphere,
some leafy graves decorated with orange and
yellow mums.

As the crows make their last caws of the day,
a spirit soiree begins.
They no longer...

Sorry this party must end in such a grizzly way.
Next time maybe keep your hands off someones fiancé.
No I cannot let you go, you caused her such dismay.
Now a pleasant bit of vivisection, where's that tourniquet?
I hope you're ready for some fun because it's time...
