Long Roundtable Poems

Should we shed the boy and be a man?
Shoot of spirit wild -to be tamed in the tamed land.
Where is the proof that this cynical evolution;
this cyclical passthrough is a strengthened constitution.
A blur and a...

Alfredo always abhorred angry approaches
After an amigo accosted after an argument
And, afterward, Alfredo abstained arguing,

Because blackening bruises betrayed blather
Berniccio blindly behaved better, bravely
Becoming brotherly before blasting bullies!

Carefully commandeering calmer Carlos,
Claiming cool comradeship courageously
Communicated clever candid...

Look at the baseball field.
The poet’s words, a sword to wield.
To these pleasures I consistently yield.
But heavenly joys I often neglect.

Where are the heavenly spires?
The bosom that protects against the eternal fires.
Where in worship no...

For Spitfire, the Wolf

The pack breathes forth
crystal- mists, 
ghosting the landscape 
like wraiths leaving the abyss.
In sarcophogy-effigyy.
A Eulogy in cacophony 
Serving their own.Stead.
 Fates in cognition. 
Roundtable and Moordread.
Satelliting their own volition.
By the knight in...

Transcendence

Into the dawn, one yearns to be normal,
A delicate breath of precious life gifts,
Self-assesses to be supernormal,

Advantageous climbing in phasing...

Unnoticed florals;
Unspoken splendour

Crowded impasse
Wordless faces;
Feisty fest

Day hurls light
Sparkling tell;
Sleepy commotion

~~~~~~~~~


Forty winks
Sleepy delights;
Late morning sojourn

~~~~~~~~~


Dawn hurls sober
Dreams malinger;
Heavy eyes 

~~~~~~~~~


By this wayside
Miniature flowers preside;
Beauty camouflages

Floral bouquets
Sunny side up;
Dazzling sparkle

Joy intervenes
Love delights all;
Intuitive spread

Morning rain

Words straight out thought
Poets who you don’t know
As a Poet, we want the reader to know it
Alpha letter by Alpha letter fit
We are human just like anybody else
We share our feelings as emotions
It’s like riding...

Smiles now style
Family banquet;
Happy feast

~~~~~~~~~


Roundtable moments
Spring festival treats;
Family bonding sums

~~~~~~~~~


Red for good luck
Charming good times;
Springtime company

Red lanterns float
Breezy breeze blows;
Sway of good fortune

Nine course meal
Delight dances round;
Happy chit-chat punctuates

Food fortune toss
Myriad chopsticks work;
Faith works wonders

América's Roundtable,  
Kings and Knights of a fable,
Broadening the smorgasbord of a playing field,  

Swelling midriffs peak, 
they drool as they speak, 
for the empires for themselves that they build.

The fine lady now...

Autumn moon
Luna aura bright;
Wind-blown whispers

Dinner roundtable 
Mealtime conversations;
Family takeaway

Drizzle rain dance
Windy wetness spreads;
Pitch-black frozen touch

Chinese tea brew
Hot infusion warms;
Heart feels vigour spread

Movie treat
Blockbuster hit;
Marvel at Marvel

Road trip to wherever;
Apple orchards call

Flea market fringe

Pussy willows calm;
Pink and white unfurl

Chinese New Year
Family gatherings;
Auspicious red packets

Blessings of good cheer
Feasting with delight;
Springtime promises sparkle

Cheery spirits here
Kin and kind endear;
Roundtable revelry

Mandarin oranges
Happy greetings paired;
Auspicious vocal couplets

Farewell to the Goat...

Catatonic morning crawl
Saturday, suburban thrall
Car bomb kills 50 in Iraq
My kids live at the bloody mall

Stagnant showered stare
Crusted sandwich, TV glare
Tsunami swallows 10,000 cold
Jesus, I'm losing my hair

Middle-aged, brooding blog
Mow the lawn, walk the dog
Aids...

How was your year, folks out there
Feel thankful for what life bestows?
At dinner time say a prayer
For days of poetry and prose

Yam, turkey, cranberry and salad
Potatoes, cornbread, apple cake
The banquet worthy of a ballad
The smell...
