The chimes reveling above,
  flush with high-spirits, considering

The dolorous toll of the bells
  below, met with knowing glances...

Christmas is the most joyous time of the year
We're all infected with love and good cheer
For a few days or so
In high spirits, we wallow
Then back to the same old world, we hold so dear...

Life is like the dance of a flame
Breathing out smoke as the moments change
Fleeing chaotically from your name
Knowing not where it goes or whence it came
Until the mind blows it out
And only the luminous darkness remains...

Malta puts me in high spirits,
always have me twisting at the first sip,
languishing its energetic erotic spike,
total elevation only can you see!
awe! alluring gestures floats off my tongue when I am on my Malta.

I pledge my love to no one 
But you and you only
For I will care and cherish you 
In sorrow and happiness
You will remain my shining VIP
A hub of sweet memories
Come rain or sun shine
I will fight to see you in high spirits
For that makes me complete...

Teachers foregather,
To learn forthcoming battle,
But fuming the day.

Down their heads  in books, 
With unreadable feelings,
Tea brings high spirits.

Checked their performance
was trainer of all of them,
Showed fury at them.

To fondle them lot,
Try to be amiable,
But of no avail....

Warmth and high spirits
Laughing voices, humble hearts
For my men, a beer

Slow down room! Slow down!
Spinning too fast! Hello Raaaaulgh!
No mas tequila!

Golden grace in age
Oak and sweet mash, tight refined
Good end to good day

Red bathtub brew
Hobo rot gut, da*n hard taste
Make a man of you...

So many come blossoming, 
verily so many merrily 
so many! under the high-
spirited sun, opening 
a host of yellow. Nine, 
ten, three dozen blooms, 
now hundreds casting off 
the old lapsed minutes 
the months of cold – 
joking high-spirits
so sinuous on thinnest 
green stems – this very
morning so many!...

By looking back it’s rather hard to tell,
Whether I had lived or lived through Hell.
What counts is - I joyfully survived
Life’s bumpy, dangling, and perilous ride.

And now at peace, I dare to reminisce
On every curve of fate I didn’t miss.
Filled up with joy and woe I raise my grail
To high spirits that conquer and prevail.

such a happy treat
an apple for special friend
equine contentment

warm winter stable
happy whinnies from within
affectionate nudge

spring will soon be here
uplifting sight horse grazing
high spirits prevail

Helping the warriors of the sport,
Gleaming in high spirits even when their team is down,
Their call and dance rallies the crowd.
They are the leaders of the fans,
But they are so much more.
Their agility and dancing bring hope to the worried team.
They train like warriors on the field,
They are athletes themselves,
They are the messengers of the fans to say,
"We believe in you."...

In the earth, I plant this weed
A magnificent plant indeed
Given refuge when in need
Taken away from the pain I bleed

In the earth, I plant this weed
High spirits for such a seed
Future well with Godspeed
Those who know, are those who read

In the earth, I plant this weed
An autumn moon takes the lead
Holding my breath I precede
Taking the chance, to succeed

Sanmati, my messenger, is no more a milksop.
Ardent though is she never will yawp.
Nagging sometimes though in some shop.
Merrily walks in crowd alone till atop.
Amends her needs; tackles one with strop-
Till he agrees with her, else does lop.
In always high spirits, ready to swop
Joy or sorrow equally treats like gumdrop.
Angry if treats us like a bellhop
In our home or out, but never plop
Nor cry in public to show us flop....

Several people never knew
that bunnies have an urge to chew
teeth that shine from dawn towards noon
then through out the glow of the moon
the reason that they like to chew
because their front teeth grew and grew
they'll grow and never stop growing
they'll chew unable to slowing
bunnies chew a bunch of carrots
that is why they have high spirits
a need to know about bunnies
this rhyme, their teeth, are not phonies....

Deep in to the woods by spring
my quest by daybreak for croaking, 
frog croaking, nature enthusiast‘s song,
hit upon by the fag end, a puddle,
frogs, a few in high spirits hopping,
something took the winds out of my sails!
whopping snake, old inactive by water,
these frogs take the snake a worm,
took me back to an old proverb:
when the snakes get old, 
the frogs get him by the balls!
laughing I too tried some croaking! 
great nap my song all around!...

Summer fun in the glorious sunshine,
high spirits and glowing smiles.
Everything seems worth while. With
warm embrace upon you're face.

Summer is in full bloom, mother nature
she is  exquisitely bliss in all colours of
flowers and upon butterflies wings and
many more marvellous things.

An uplifting feeling from an energising 
sun, luminous green hills and a stunning
blue sky. Every colour so bold and brilliant.
This wondrous world is  truly one in a million....
