Best Sumptuously Poems

Having lived with various cats as great pets
we praise* God for their calm presence, so warm
never giving harm, purring with sweet charm 
cheering, when from fear of mice, each heart frets.

For occasions we celebrate with bliss
our cats graciously welcome every guest
making them feel at home...

N ature calls and our attuned hearts gently quiver
E choes across the land harmonized so sweetly resonate 
W anderlust a scent we recognize akin to magic in the air

B eguiling youth of spring blessings revealed around each corner
E cologically mastering a symphony of jittery bumblebees...

ALL YOU CAN EAT

by

JOHN M. ARRIBAS


I never subscribed to an unusual idea
That aliens are among us and thriving here
I now question my stand on that theory
Cause I’ve noticed some bodies quite eerie
I see gigantic beings wherever I go
They start out big and continue to grow
The...

The Pope Benedict XVI chants, " Pater Noster " with a voice not so grand
while distracting himself by gazing at God's outstretched hand
that Michelangelo painted so well
on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.


This is a Gregorian chant with music sumptuously composed
by monastery monks whose life...

Ancient philosophies insist on Immortality,
Theologies hold of its unavoidability;
As many old religions, so thought Christianity:
That Immortality is God's gift to humanity.

Reincarnation - charmingly the Indology holds,
Life, death, and rebirth cycle of Samsara bold unfolds;
How happy I am to be born as a lotus or rose,
Yet,...

If I weren’t afraid, I’d…

… feast sumptuously, satiating my cravings midst well-being’s fullness

… feature myself along my twelve-month color scheme of saintly fashion

… fly over Mt. Everest, then trek at its pinnacle with my gratitude flag

… free all biblically righteous activists, accused as religious fugitives

Agony has vanquished amist the smoldering abyss of the sirens flame.
Peace rages within my soul as my heart clings to the cataclysm of freedoms 
whisper.
The flaws of the fiery furnace were expediently exposed by Elohim's Angel of 
ages.
My apparel omits neither fragrance nor ashen residue,...

SOUL FOOD RESTAURANT
 When you visit your favorite soul food spot,
 Along with your faithful friends,

 On your tastes it all depends.

 And the menu might read like this:
 For breakfast Country Ham and...

LET...  
Gratitude's embers saturate entirely    
as one is lifted high above…
the accumulated clamor of needs, wants,  
desires...for things...that laden and dim

Quintessentially phantasmagoric,
  her cobalt skies' chimerical fancy
     whores itself out for poetry, 
sumptuously cached 'tween 
    a revelation's optical illusion
enchanting white knights 
     and seducing dragons alike,
her flimflam elusively lofty
 & difficult to...

Love laps at the shore of my heart. 
Kinetically connected to kindness 
my soul basks sumptuously in the 
sunshine of creation. 

All thoughts of bitterness dissolved 
and washed away down the drainpipe 
of despondency, mingling with misery 
and disappearing from view. 

All is as new....

No funnier laughter
sounds like this laughter...
when its pitch vibrates as sound;
I may giggle at times, but I'm always kind!


Who will tackle me and make me laugh louder than clowns 
by telling me those jokes you heard somewhere?
Were they told by travelers roaming cities and towns,
or...

It’s hazy… opaque… clamour… and frizzy
My mind froze and clamours
It’s intense, grumpy, and rampant
Yet an image skewed, freckled and afar
 
Ding...Ding...ding…
Musical but torrent my head is screwed
Knocked up and nuts became loose
Thunderous and thumping bolt in my mind

A lament! A hymn... fading in the distance
Reverberated...

Great girdle! She cried. 
What happenstance have we happened upon?
Have the two nitwits knocked themselves silly with hammers?
What is the sensitivity they seek so?
She heaves humbly a sigh sumptuously,
As if the scene had the heavenly smells of Harvard halls, the musk of her haberdashery
And wondered...

Heavy purple plums glisten
sumptuously tempting 
the deep shade inviting
yet the viper wavers not...
 
Promise of wisdom her lure
she trails the serpents path
climbing and winding.. winded
His promise her greatest desire
 
figs.. rosy sweetness bursting forth
she ignores.. following mindlessly
jagged rocks and itching vines
surround her..  clinging.. ...
