Not Invited

When it’s that time of year for beer and reunion
For high-jinks and thoughts and comradely communion
And having a party to be reunited
There’s one who won’t be there – who wasn’t invited.

I don’t like to dance or to wear fancy dress.
I don’t feel the need to get up and impress.
To watch drunken foolishness makes my

Premium MemberYou're Invited to Collaborate

I tried to ignore the buffoonery and the cartoonery of the last 3 weeks of "politics," but found it impossible to do when so much needs to be fixed. A collaboration is taking place... please join in if you'd like. It's all about having fun. If you think it's crass and rude... you've a right

Premium Memberinvited to casserole

Casserole was unpalatable
I did not ask for the recipe
Some of the ingredients I barely recognizing
Who puts mashed potatoes with green beans?

Would ketchup have added to it? Did it need onions?
Would Heinz 57 have saved it or at least made it better?
I smiled at my hostess, and pushed the slop around on my plate.
Noting the others

Premium MemberYou're Invited

You're all invited to my party.
No, not Jack or Jill or Marty. 
I'm inviting apple strudels,
pies and tarts, the whole caboodle, 
custards, puddings, buttered scones 
(with muffins and bagels, I'm not alone), 
cookies, croissants, an eclair,
and my lovely baklava, so dear.

The Self-Invited Guest

If the two of you agree
The self-invited guest is free
To enter into hearts
And a miracle starts!
Who is it; who is this One?
All strife and striving shun?
Our minds see the wisdom, truth and light
The request is made and it is right;
A deep desire and a plea
To forget the questions, the fear, to flee
Into the Eternal Arms
To

You’re Invited

Step into my hidden show,  
where shadows dance,  
secrets linger,  
colours spill 
like confessions.  
Each stroke 
a heartbeat,  
each shade a shadow 
of my mind,  
inviting you to witness  
the rawness 
beneath the surface.  

My mask is stripped away,  the downfall began  
before the spotlight ever shone.  
I've laid it all bare - no shame

Premium Memberglad she invited these three for tea

Three colorful birds were dressed in their Sunday best.
They came parading and primping, out of one nest.
Their benefactor thought they looked lovely, naturally.
Glad now that she had invited these three for tea.

Premium MemberInvited Puppies to Tea

I have invited puppies to tea with Earl Gray brew.
With canned beef, chopped liver and bits of chicken too.
They are coming in, frolicking with a twitch and a twee.
How much more delighted could this impromptu tea party be?

They do not like the cushy embroidered chairs, barking their disdain.
They have torn down some curtains, their energy

Premium MemberYou are invited

We dwell in and as the throb of renewal,
in space and time dissolved, self-existent light,
wherein feeling complete, love as our fuel,
singularity’s seen by spherical sight,
a wisdom we bring back to earth pulse dual,
wherein poised in the void, heightens heart’s delight.
Join us then dear soul, in the cave of the heart,
for that’s where we’ll both feel

Premium MemberTea the Old Lady Invited

tea? the older lady invited.
the old man declined.
He was not much of a tea drinker.
This happened daily for years.

One day it was colder than other days.
Tea?
The old man nodded.
She poured him a glass of whiskey.

So this is what he had been missing?
She gave him a twinkle eyed look.
He never refused tea again.
They became friends too.

Excited When Invited and Knighted

by queen he had been invited
when he was knighted

position he stole

Invitations have gone out to one and all,

Preparations were begun in mid-July.

You are invited to Cindy’s trailer for barbeque they said.
I did not know any Cindy, so begged off, saying I had an ache in my head.
They send me this photo about an hour ago. Lauper was there!
Now I wish my phone was not dead, so I could hot foot it there.

Premium MemberWhen She Invited Her Pets To Tea

(Picture no.4) 

She knelt down at the table
With a teapot full of milk.
She sat her teddy on the smallest chair.
He wore a neck ribbon of silk.

She summoned her polite pets.
She served her kittens first.
Her dog gazed at her, all dreamy eyed,
Longing to quench his thirst.

She chatted away quite happily,
Playing the lady of the house.
She imagined
