Short Leisure Time Poems

Happy as a dream
Blues skies perfect picnic smiles
Leisure stay teasing...

Long long ago,
when the world was good,
David the prince,
he used to amuse himself
by using his guitor.

He used to sit alone,
under the tree,
enjoying good music
in his leisure time.

It was a sign of peace,
freedom and joy,
unlike today....

A Covenant of Peace

Inside a forest snow globe
This thought resides
A reminder
Of innocent wonder

Of a quiet day
Side by side
Crisp sips on cool white wine
Gentle leisure time

Gentle children sleeping
In the cradle of the world
Free to dream and meander through sunshine
Drowsy smiles of play time...

A leisure time consumes my mind,
Such benevolence, quite as kind
My coloured friends; comrades to find
Chemicals in my brain to bind
Cease, desist- I can't resist!
Please, give them all to me!
Without their Peace, I can't exist-
Thank you God; they set me free

Beauty fills the meadows,  
Hope no longer lingers in the shadows,
Every day feels like a fresh start,  
As budding flowers greet the sun's warm heart,  
There’s a lavish display of colours.

The fragrance of spring’s blossoms fills Mama’s room, 
Gone is the gloom of yesterday’s doom,
She spends her leisure time in the garden,  
Saying it helps her exhale and unburden,  
The glory of spring brings so many blessings....

Clocks tick bells chime
willingly to tell the time

Seconds minutes hours days
Turn into weeks months then decades

Take time make time to look this way
in the middle of your busy day

I dont have time i hear you say 
my time our time gone astray

Im tied to time is another cliche you say
when you just want to get away

Playtime leisure time daytime nightime 
all this time that you are mine

As sure as nightime follows day
time is always ticking away...

Ere the death blows off the flame
Let's immortalizze the joy of life
Storing in memory cosy moments of
togetherness,
Recallexcursions on sany beaches
In moonlit nights,
Fill the mind with fragrance of flowers
We watered together in home garden
Feel the breath of 
Blossoming trees in spring,
Your hand in mine sit near Taj
Endlessly talking love,
And in leisure time turn pages of
Family Album remembering friends
parties and dinners shared with people 
we love...

The sweetness of doing nothing in a day
On umber earth and mid birds singing in spring.

Spending leisure time in a suspended
Bed hung up by each end between two trees.

We sit gazing at the heavens in the clear night sky,
A theater of dancing stars flitting with the moon.

Hymn lull of tickling leaves as the breeze blows
Through; its slender tendrils raking  through.

Soft glow; against the wakeful night darkness
As the moon dappled light pirouette on our face....

I took my KAYAK to the river for a magic glide 
to see a red breast robin soar ALULA stride 

He owned REVIVER eyes of sprite that shout     
and ebon wings of blue that LEVEL out 

He sang a MINIM throated song of chirp  
with  PULLUP lifted moves I couldn't crop 

One glide across the river, oh what joy  
to live in leisure time without decoy;

The prompt :
A picture showing two old men laughing together sitting on a park bench.
 


smiles furrowing wrinkles on face  
noisy young days, slowed in pace
all leisure time, no bustle of race
surreal past, memory can't  erase.
toothless bites, no one looks after
two old friends, we share a laughter.

main course dinner, it's all over
'dessert' let's enjoy, sweet forever.
