Best Zest Poems

He toddles toward the pebbles, tumbling the smooth stones over
in his four year old palms, rubbing them like Aladdin’s lamp, tossing
them back into the mix, impishly shining with the zest of a boy.

He sees the overflow of snowy petals, finds the lowest hanging
stem, the gardenia...

Darling, you are my gift, my treasured gold.
        I braved pain once that our joy might reach crest, 
            So, now for said joy’s passion, answer bold

I live where
lime trees bloom
before spring has come,
where early unattended fruit
drop from the trees...
I gather some
in a silver metal bowl
and place them on a table.
These green and yellow limes
are round, redolent, with a clean
citrus flavor.  I squeeze one,
release its oils, and rub my hands
with...

Laptop at hand buried in my cozy bed

- Distraction -
raining outside but words stuck in my head
- Focus -
is needed to clarify my thoughts, get them out
- Teasing -
messages from him to my inbox right now
- Consuming -
driving me crazy with emotions all intense
- Insanity...

Be here now
For time moves fast
Leave the past
Love endows


Zest for life
Starts where you are
Dear bright star
Purge all strife


Look and see
Live well your truth
Show wise proof
Forge beauty


Stretch your goals
Purpose knows quest
Live fun fest
Joy takes hold


Think good cheer
Feel passion spring
Dare each fling
Live love dear


Love each face
Style happy...

God created the Earth
And stood back to see.
What more did it need-
Maybe some green trees?

It needed more color
To make it look its best,
So he created all the flowers
Just to add a little zest.

Roses, violets, and lilies of the valley,
Snapdragons, azaleas, poinsettias, and dahlias,
Chrysanthemums, marigolds, zinnias...

Zest for life 

Zest of living one discovers
Inspired by life’s demonstrations

Beyond the desolated wastelands
within wintered caverns frozen 
oppressed body of its mind
outside prisoned visions
where gleams of hope are found

thresholds on new foundations 
spark of life’s creations
sunshine in the distance appearing
peace and understanding bestowed
comes from knowing...

Winsome boy looks
Styles a quick peek;
Then goes to school

~~~~~~~~~


In still moments
A touch of joy;
Another year succeeds

~~~~~~~~~


Zest in a fest
Breeze sure ease;
Wake joy profound

~~~~~~~~~


Brisk as s breeze
Easy strides here;
Active walking moments

~~~~~~~~~


Seek to find
What seems lost;
Realise the truth

~~~~~~~~~


Sly smile curls
Drool of crafty eyes;
Await menu strange

~~~~~~~~~


January wet spread
Monsoon...

Even though my precious life
          is askew and imperfect, it is rife
   with beauty, love, never-say-die optimism,
       and it still shines as bright as a prism.

I find myself wishing for a portal
entering a far off fairy tale land;
To begin a wild adventure unplanned,
I follow a Sun not gold but purple;  
High in the sky an amethyst circle 
shines a fetching glow on emerald sand;
Limits on possibility are banned,
eyes open...

Passion for life is exhilarating.
Climbing to heights of reward.

Achieving a top overrating.
Amazing a great afterward.

ZeAL its synonym and enthusiasm I think,
Earnest I'll pursue around every wave and kink
Still aware of the goal to excel,
Till it ceases the chiming of the beckoning knell!...
