the kiss of light, a trick
a mask, a banquet
a spell, a curse
a blessing

       no need to remove them

Is for real the poignant due hit.

Finding a date,
Is the most horrible fate.
I think I should just go alone.
I stand there in fear,
Wondering how to ask my peer.
I think I'm just not gonna go....

Web wet with dew sparkles in morning light
The spider toiling all night
Hoping for a banquet


Working all night to support family
Caught up in a web of debt
Hopes for a miracle

Inside the hatch 
your demons will remain awake;
Inside the hatch 
they open you and take their catch;
Rich banquet the Beast will partake 
waiting for your control to break,
inside the hatch....

A tongue, so bold, ventured too near, 
Where the teeth held a banquet, my dear. 
With a snap and a crunch, 
It met a hard bunch, 
And cried, "Ouch! This pain's quite severe!"

The merry men and Robin Hood
Were drinking in the local wood
And roasting harts.*

The meat, they said, was very good;
They even ate, it’s understood,
The private parts.

Dear girl friend, 
 don't be so selfish...
 life is a full table,
 a lavish banquet, do not
 eat all alone...
 Offer me some of that
 food... of this life...
 Share a little of yourself... !
 With me... !...

A banquet was arranged by a king
but the guests wouldn't come to the wedding.
     One and all they refused,
     so the king feeling bruised
welcomed all who could be found to join in.

leaves no room for joy's desserts

terra cotta earth 
baking in sun's open kiln 
large empty table 

drops of kindness fall 
nourishing new sprouts with hope 
earthen mother heals 

lively greens abound 
nature's plentiful banquet 
offers of herself...

A bigger bite of life
for a hunger meant to last
Insatiable inherence
starvation my repast

Partaking of tomorrow
in dreams of future feasts
Anticipations banquet
—where ravenous I eat

Poison- Majele

Behold a festering feast 
underneath the sumptuous banquet
waking the dreary aura 
as we waft in 
ethereal flavor 
served in golden platter
matched with forks and daggers
luring each man 
down his pit

Cold
weather
will not kill
the queen- yellow
lion feed the bee.
Survival rides upon
the wind, the child's breath scatters
seed.  Gold finch come, a banquet set
feast before summer 's demise.  Love the
lion and her seed, love the yellow weed....

One droplet 
following another
on windowpane
crying
anemic light
ushering in
fall’s open door
to wonder
vermillion of swords
in triumph
splendor of life
in cycle
morsels on pits
to winter on
mind’s teeth
at the classroom
banquet....
