Annual reunions,
he keeps coming back
to this school campus

like a restless dog
haunted by a place
where it vaguely recalls

having buried long ago
something truly
precious!...

Birthdays, reunions, vacations and hikes.

Weddings, divorces and photos of tykes.

Vids of grandkids on their skateboards and bikes.

These are the things every cyber Friend 'Likes'!...

Summer air ; summer breeze.
Beginning, never ending.

Warming trend, might swim.
Tan on the beach, reach for more.

Family reunions and picnics too.
Photos to remember, memories.

Return to summer fun....

Of silent souls that rest so deep,
They hold the secrets that we all seek
Of heavenly reunions of God’s grace
As we reach the end of our life’s race.
Do we protect or watch over all we love?
And reap the rewards below or above?...

Funerals and Reunions,
I’ve no fondness for either,
But similar to magnets,
They attract. 

People come together
For a transience of time,
And then withdraw,
To meditate;

I
In South Africa, one can avoid Online poetry
But I did not as easily in America (USA)
I couldn't believe I could stay away months
But some of you have, or longer still
The reunions are delicious, contagious, to relish

Planes landing,
planes taking off...
people leaving,
people who stay...
  greetings,
nods,
goodbyes!
Hugs, smiles,
contentment,
reunions...!
I, poet bird,
absorbed look,
in space,
I just think about the time
to fly, be
totally bird...
instead of staying
seeing life
flying high... !...

She tried to outguess me. Thought she knew me.
She was an irritant like a tsetse fly.
I ran from her.
Glad I only see her every five years.
Finally realized I am not obligated to attend class reunions.
With a roomful of people I do not recognize
And have nothing in common with except for former locale....

With flowing robes,
pungent herbs,
arching doors,
organic walls, 
and eerie lights,
you take on trappings
of one thought evil.
Yet in you beats
an open heart—
one always skirting
curdled customs,
sterile allegiances,
trivial tyrannies—
one ever seeking
reunions with roots,
transforming spaces,
raw possibilities....

Welcome to our “familyfest”
Gatherings with fun-filled zest…
Grand reunions, sweetly warm
Team buildings boost bonding charm.

Dining sprees are everywhere
Loved ones mingle here and there…
Yes, I praise God* for friendships
Kindling caring partnerships.

 
*Psalm 150:1 … Praise God … in the firmament of his power.

Members no longer with us
But still in our hearts
Here amidst reunions
A few less place settings
And empty chairs
Ghosts quietly mingle
Stealth and incognito
Among all the hugs
Smiles chatter laughter and stories
Barely noticed yet included
Far from forgotten

Someday I'm going to
leave this old world,
going to leave it behind.

I'm going to fly away
to that golden shore,
beyound the blue.

Leaving my cares behind
no more pain or heart ache,
only content and peace,

will follow me there,
for all eternity, seeing
my departed love ones,

once again in a fleeful
reunions filled with much bliss,
and seeing the face of my Saviour.

Scars left behind Imprints ,
Memories I held, 
A cosmic tale
Where art thou
Whirling black empty space 
Nothing to replace
Masks to wear
No joy to retain
Dreams of repetitive endless spinning reunions
Mirrored by cracks that bear your name
No shame in love 
Trapped in your smile 
Eyes that burned souls 
Entranced and captured 
Demonized your name
No shame in love
I bled for it
I have its Tattoos...

Value placed on the happenings
Posting the treasure in you
Calls in the night 
Spare moment chats
Out on a limb for the right thing
Long awaited scant memory 
Knowing of what was meant to be
Events causing stumbling blocks
Both been to the school of hard knocks
Time for reunions chart
Years passed 
Doubt surfaced
Chiming in the new year
Making all things clear
Games in the rear
Positive actions intercede...

When I have slipped beyond
the surly bonds of Earth,
And put on Immortality,
exuberant joy, I will put on like a robe,
When the blessed Saviour I shall see.

Unspeakable joy, peace, and love
will be seen on every face.
Oh, the happy reunions that will abound
In this lovely, Holy place!

Jesus the author of our salvation
and creator of all mankind,
will receive me into a more abundant life
than any on Earth I could find....

Many a fond memory my heart does hold
Precious time spent with family
Always feeling loved and being told

The smell of freshly baked bread lingering in the morning air
Missing my Mom's cooking
Wishing I could still be there

Always feeling welcome and never out of place
Enjoying our family reunions
And the occasional three-legged race

My Mother and Father have since passed on
I'm now but an orphan
Since they are both now gone...

Love
Music
Great movies
Chatting with friends
Food, glorious food!
Family reunions
Alone time to read and write
Wonderful days when all goes right
Lovely beach days with long summer nights
Feeling secure and stress-free and healthy

(I saw some others using etheree for this contest
and thought that was great how they did theirs. 
I love the etheree; it's the perfect form for ten lines
of poetry, so I'm using it too!)
