A little levity
goes a long way
I always say
Though naught but play
oversalts the entree
spoils the day
Verses swirling in a rage
Rancor feasts on every page
Love, Light and Levity
~ Arrows toward Longevity
I stood
Defying gravity
Frowned
Denying levity
Wrote poems
Extolling brevity
Dodged much of life’s
Severity
Now wrestle with
Longevity
There was a young man named McAvity
Who resented that old Law of Gravity
He heeded a rumor
That values good humor
And now he is lifted by Levity.
moving in and out of sensations felt
defying lust borne force of gravity
we flow freely, mode embrace and release
breath by breath in light hearted levity
light and lively
ethereal and enthusiastic
valuable variables
intricate indicator of idealism
tantalizing tale of temperance and truth
youth utilizes levity gladly
Within the energies I borrow
radiates a kernel of gold
polished by the magnificence
I’ve been blessed to behold
at the crux of experience
once levity banishes sorrow.
He loved to flaunt his longevity
and wielded it with great levity
yet in the race
couldn't keep pace
and was known for the length of his brevity

We’ve lost the ability
to laugh at ourselves …
P.C. humor both lifeless
and dry
Our levity as tepid
as our character flawed
Fraying the tightrope
—awaiting a fall
(Dreamsleep: March, 2023)
Our spirit's levity
At liberty
In warmed up air, as real felt
As makes dizzy!
Now eye to eye can go
Each sigh to know
With whom, carefree and careless
Off them, astray
World of hardships spurn! Off, away.
Poor moth! Poor thou!
Levity of content
laced with rhythm and rhyme
label the limerick.
Lear waxed nonsensical
leaving lewdness aside;
Laughter through wit preferred.
Light entertainment verse.

Language of heart circuitous
Longing for cherished levity
Labyrinth walks ethereous
Leaden soul soothed of self pity
Listening to a chirping bird
Let the looping calm sink inward
Lightheartedness morphs luminous

impressed,
wave from trees.
father, mother,
siblings, pet - on high. the neighbors salute.
while, in a red bow, girl’s waiting, breathless.
does he want her…?
how heavy
is his
bag?

Nature compares but classes
Are imminent and permanent
In levity of stratified system.
Even when a cat kills and eats
A rat it can't be equal
To a lion in the jungle.
Hunting speedy antelope
They may both be carnivores
But one is king of the jungle.
Childlike levity, a bliss bath
Soul’s innate vibrancy
Each moment a holy sabbath
Free from delinquency
Give ego a wide berth
Revel in bubbling mirth
Beholding soul’s rebirth
Defy gravity
Childlike levity

O tell me about a snoddy gumboot
Of a soul; black as Guiness -
A drinker of dirty water; a wordsmith,
A conjurer and fumbler; bearer of
Levity and pork sausages, a stout
Fellow with the learning as big as
The Cork and Kerry Mountains;
You thrown-out words of Dublin...
fascinated by the backyard wagon —
it leans against the aged oak.
sloshed with water in Spring,
levity of leaves of Fall,
catching snowflakes in Winter —
on its red tongue.
the backyard wagon waits
for its mannah provision —
longsuffering in God-given faith.

Returns
Foreign and friendly reminders
Lost and found
Dated and dictated memories
Born and beckoning songs
Whispers and washed evenings
Soulful and cast in the finest armor
Deep, delicate dreams
Embraces from walks in thought
All the roads
All the paths
Returning
To the land of levity
The limerick enjoys longevity
Through wit, innuendo and brevity.
An Irish tradition,
A bawdy rendition,
Its length and girth engorged with levity.

No hymn is sung to praise
The beauty now undone by time;
Where once the lauds and gracious
Prose were flung out, as will be
These travesties of nature's levity.
Then does all beauty fade, thus
Frail her lovely moments pass away
And crumble like the broken vase
The withered rose upon the wilted stem.
Prosperity, prosperity
Prosperity to humanity
I brought to you love and solidarity
Peace and harmony
It is freedom and happiness
Love and kindness
Prosperity, prosperity
Prosperity to humanity
So why do you curse me
Instead of blessing me
It efficiency and a higher levity
Transparency and accountability
Poor old cooter
with a limp pee shooter
Feeling no levity
his battle versus gravity
Doc says if you will
just pop this little pill
Life has returned to great
now that things are back to straight.
I hope this is not offensive to anyone!
Certainly not my intention.
Seeking humor in a man's misery.
Forgive me
I have forgotten the fondness of a smiling heart,
or the levity of laughter's luxury.
I have lost the grail of passion,
and a passion for people.
Here I sit at time's old impasse
Huh
It seems I've never truly known faith
until I had no reason to believe.
Please Lord, help thou my unbelief.
cattails at the fishing pond
mark the hill the brownies live on
in the morning, they dance in the dew
there are many here, more than a few
macarena is danced by gnomes and faeries
elves brought back a tango from Buenos Aires
levity of morning lights mood for the afternoon
the bullfrogs are the only ones out of tune
