Now, wasn't it sad about Snyder,
The light hearted, fun loving spider?
He got a gnat in his eye,
While pursuing a fly,
And fell into a barrel of cider....

Due to the diligence he did,
he avoided the usual pitfalls
and wrong ways.
Yet to the end of his days
he leaned nothing
of that light-hearted travelling
into the yet unknown....

Light-hearted, humorous, a five line delight

Sadness they cure
I may be prolific but I'm still a neophyte...

To explain in detail, is to take away,

away from the feelings I wan to convey

My heart is inspired for a short burst of time,

so I must find the words quick, and make them rhyme....

In a smile it started
In a second it grew
In a minute we were light-hearted
In an hour we knew
In a day we tried
In a week it came true
In a month it died
In that moment, I lost you....

Expands, rises; to gleam
A bubbly thing.
Which then, breaking apart, does leave
A blob of wet.

Type of life, once had we
Floated off in.
Light hearted, smiley. Til left as
Sadly upset ....

even then,

still feels like

a vacuum there

that does not yet exist

in a light-hearted heart,

but which an occasional

hurt feeling fills, if only

to give it existence,

as space worthy

to just be there,

in her heart...

I am a silly caterpillar 
Intoxicated 
By the fumes of Grace. 

Look my way 
My wings are blue  
I am a light hearted butterfly sailing on the drafts of love.

I am a laughing baby your serious faces 
So funny to me 
I am an attitude of gratitude...

Leaving behind the swords of doubt
Removing uncertainties cloud
Increasing Joy's sound
Let the heart be found 
which was once wrapped in the shroud
Let's become stout-hearted 
And click a picture with a pout
This is what this year is all about

impromptu
    light-hearted,
      in vogue:
a genteel
   virtue
      devoid 
      of
      the vernacular..
..yet
     straight-laced,
fastidious
       maybe:
the
    essentials
    of life
in
summoned
semantics
of an
illusory
    vacuum...

Limerick humorous
Lively and sometimes rude 
Lack  of  person's concern 
Lines with a strict rhyme scheme 
Laid out    AABBA pattern
Length traditionally 10-10-7-7-10
Light-hearted levity

late at night
 a shepherd
 woke his wife

 I saw...heard
 angels sing
 in the sky!

 it’s the wine
 she mumbled
 or UFOs!

I danced,
Made happy chatter
And
Like a bird on wing
Nestling her young
I sang a light hearted melody
Thinking I was happy...
Now I am as silent as the dark of night
My feet are molded in clay.
I close my windows to the chirping
Of foolish birds
Cold reality
Stole my heart's song!

The grace he once showed,
Have's gone away,
The smile he had can light up the room,
It's gone forever and a day his light-hearted spirt,
Is now  heavy with despair?
He's dying, for someone to notice him,
But he just pretends it's fine
He looks up once agin now,
come on eagle; take me home,
I'm ready to go......

I probed her pretense. 
Joyfully. 
Her face is attractive. 
Her passion shines through. 
Her elegance and jubilation appeal. 
Her eyes, purity, delight. 
I need precise fiction. 
My poetry will love her. 
She thudded. 
How should I describe her? 
Her face. 
O light-hearted,
 see your devotion
 in the mirror....

As they talked,
Emitting rambling laughter
Of subjects unknown
Silly
Light hearted actions
In forums
Of fun-filled and hearty
Leisurely chuckling
In the middle of the coffee shop
In a town not so unknown
A nonchalant indifference
To ones surroundings
A welcome,
To others in the coffee shop
To join in the mirth....

Creative Christmas Candy Canes 
Crunch cinnamon crusts 
Chasing and carousing, 
Curious cousins with cruising curiosity

Searching for Spend-thrift Santa 
Singing Silver Bells, 
Sugar Plum Sensitivity
Sashaying and swishing across stage

Lots of lively laughter
Luxurious lighting
Light hearted loveliness 
Looking toward next year’s Christmas...

Feelings are not for the true
Those who lie do dare to feel? 
Speak of feelings?...
Indifference is no shield for feelings
Indifference is - iron
Feelings of hate, from love? - 
Ha! lust!
Feelings are for the vacant hearted to take and break because they have none of 
their own...
Humour and jest are for the light hearted but yours is full my friend?...
