Best Virelai Poems

I danced in the rain
Defiant chicane
Cloud nine
Some may fear insane
Relinquish the pain
Divine
Liberty does reign
I must break the chain
The sign

Better than sunshine
When I draw the line
Shed care
Peace finally mine
My calm I'll enshrine
Repair
I'm closer to fine
Time to realign 
Prepare

Cast off the nightmare
Lost self to nowhere
Again 
Repent for...

Spring winds blow their sound,
Winter now is bound.
Knees in,
Melted, sludgy-browned,
Green peaks through the ground.
These in,
Nature's own impound,
Exiled now, grave mound,
Squeeze in.

Snow tries to reason,
Get one last freeze in,
Surprise!
Vernal, yet weazen,
March smells a treason,
The lies!
Mad by degrees in,
Arrogant season,
Reign skies!

Hasten Cold's demise,
February spies,
Be drowned.
Viridescent eyes,
Vegetation rise,
Be...

Romeo Please Find Juliet-Virelai

I wish for a mate
That draws a line straight
One wish
A nice man sounds great
One that pulls his weight
Let's swish
Let's have a first date
See what's on our plate
And dish

If our moons shine bright
And our tides are right
See me
Basking in the light
Waiting for my...

Alone upon a foggy night, 
With waxing moon a ghostly light, 
Resounded wings.
My mind contrived a murders flight, 
While lack of cawing did rewrite, 
Infernal things.
Resigned to capture budding fright; 
I drew the curtains snugly tight; 
My nerves hairsprings.
And though a superstitious rite; 
I wore...

Felt under my heel
A banana peel
I slip
Loudly now I squeal
Like a clapping seal
I flip
A mid air cartwheel
Now terror I feel 
I yip!

Need to get a grip
Sweat beads off me drip
Oh boy.
I bend at the hip
My feet now I grip
No joy
I brace, bite my lip
And land...

Just a little tyke
When on the hearth~strike
Then blaze

Warmth flowed throughout like
Happiness 'pon trike
Young days

When you were godlike
I'd feel dreamlike
A phase

Let me paraphrase
It's not hollandaise
Just dreams

Down by waterways
Where God I could praise
Fish teem 

As 'pon stream I gaze
Large bream dreams always
Sea bream

No_ hatchlings that gleam
And bring...

Fasting, no caprice
Burning without cease
I kneeled
Under words of peace
God’s graced to release
Sins healed
I heard words to deice
I said words to unleash
Veil peeled 

Saints’ hands were a shield
“Praise the sun to wield
And kiss 
Light and flames to yield
To have your lost soul sealed
In this”
Sun welcomed and...

With gentle showers
He feeds the flowers
With grace
His spirit devours
Sorrows, dread cowers
We face
Darkness with powers
Found in His towers
His place

We cannot replace
His perfect embrace
We praise
Coming face to face
With love that’s the base
He weighs
Every last disgrace
So hearts can showcase
Always

Splendor to amaze
Spirits all ablaze
Unseen
He’s the One who pays
For our...

Wearing a gown of lily white
I made my way into the ball,
My Date looked like a shining knight
at my side standing straight and tall,
Together we were quite a sight
the looks I got, I loved them all
wearing a gown of lily white.


Sweet sounds of music filled...

Come friend, face-to-face
Partake and embrace
Welcome
To our neutral place
Beyond time and pace
We come
To regain lost grace
In unified space
Do come

Though our thoughts misled
Biased human dread
No hate
We will share our bread
Our poetries read
Relate
Debate common thread
Like water be spread
Translate

Agreement declares
Focus on repairs
With speed
We will share our wares
Use swords like...

Enjoy every day!
Life is meant that way,
rejoice!
Whatever they say,
Just work, rest or play-
our choice
Just take time to pray,
Let God’s Spirit stay,
no noise.

Listen to God’s voice,
Do His will; spread joys,
we should! 
Be calmed as turquoise 
Bright, nice thought employs
right mood;
Stay free from decoys,
Deal tough things with...

Let’s check what we missed 
in our to do list:
touch kind.
As a hedonist,
we merely exist,
confined.
Never by love kissed,
dark desires persist;
we’re blind.

Let us bear in mind,
it’s time we refined
our soul.
Lest we fall behind,
release thoughts unkind:
be whole.
Our form’s so designed,
God in heart’s enshrined;
our goal.

Playing our life role,
let...

George asked for a date,
supposing I’d wait
all day.
That morning at eight
I stood by my gate;
oy vey!
He called and said, “Mate.
I’ll be really late.
OK?”

His mate? I said, “Hey,
your style’s not the way
for me.
I’ll go to the bay
and find my friend Ray.
Then we
on jet skis will play.”
(Ray’s...

A large group in tow
big families show
some strain.
But music we know
everywhere we go
free rein.
We set the tempo,
sung a capello
right brain.

No tension, no pain
enjoyment we gain
we sing
of nothing profane
for who can complain
arms swing. 
Though the pitch may wane
volume we sustain
with zing.

Reunion’s the thing 
big family fling
why...
