left to their own devices...
just kids being kids

a man with legs of a tree

galloped like nonsense set free

with a flip and flop

he skipped over top

a barn full of revelry.

back-lit birch and pine
pierced with autumn's red and gold
tremble beneath clouds 
my broken heart weeps like rain
a lone loon calls revelry...

My castle fortress
Amber’s sweet revelry
Revealing the price of freedom
How I long to be a kid again

What's the truth
     Carnival?
     general revelry, or
     Bal masqué...?
     tumultuous joy  ? 
     Masquerade Ball ...!
     Fake wellfare... !?...

The year had ended and we are a year older.
Based on the past, we've grown bolder.

Heart's new joys reflect the old ones,
Amidst cheers and firing of guns!...

There’s a ripe, young sun
Swinging the gardens today.

There is a sprightly, young sun
Touring the faces of revelry.

There’s a sheepish, young moon
Carrying the smirk of a virgin
Awaiting her Paul Revere....

Seaside
speaks harmonies
turquoise-emerald hues
blissful coral passions emerge
to kiss 
the heavenly cotton nimbus
that sails in bluest skies
light revelry
in bloom.

Like
rockets
in the sky-
delphiniums

their

revelry-
spires of colour,
sleek

it's the golden hour
young duck swimming afternoon
hard rain patters down

the sun yet shines on
duck revelry in late bath
green river frolic

drought endured so long
but blooms and smiles are coming
I've had days like this...

down in wild jade fields
beams orange sun revelry
scents in laughing wind

birds raise the gold roof
wildflowers trumpet colors
in mint fresh meadows

wide eyed awaking
and all dressed up for soon dance
as rose shadows flee...

joy 
               cheerful, happy 
     dancing, expressing, jumping 
exhilaration, revelry, anguish, misery 
   radiating, inflicting, experiencing 
              awful, emotional 
                       pain

kids making snowman
                  sheer revelry in the air
                                school's out on snow day

their seasonal fling
leaves little imagining ~
passion's bits abound
naked, shamed, consigned to wait,
redeeming spring, yet far off…

in the mellow morn
a revelry of roses
pervasive heat, grapes

glossy trees tremble
day's marching into the gold
butterfly frenzy

the day star twinkles
entering doors and windows
housewarming party

a straw hat parade
in many styles and colors
boulevard boogie...

the noise is so distracting,
i can't focus on the
few words wanting out.
thoughts would whisper now,
can't hear them with a shout.
beat by the droning turbine,
exhausted by the bus' grunt.
who i am, who i will be,
lost somewhere in this din,
strung to this revelry....

every morning
now it's a recording
of a trumpet that takes 
away the silence
for the already
risen to salute
the stripes and stars

even though to this
day another army
base is just a bit
away but even further
childhood memories
still remain but
now in

revelry...

Love is not a joke
It’s not a game to me
It’s not a funny riddle
That I would like to sing

Love is not a joke
And I’m tired of this ride
This up and down frenzy
Should not be in my mind

Love is not a joke
But one to you, I see
Fun and games, to you
Goodbye to revelry...

Do, a high and low note
Re, your second note
Mi, the third note

Do, Re, Mi... first three notes
Fa... to fave one song to sing
So... to soften your heart that votes
La... lasting revelry in your soul that bring
Ti... till the end of time you sing
Do... do it again and again...

Sun has set now.
Under full moon
Many excited fairies
Marching together
Encircle fairy tree.
Revelry begins.

Solstice night.
Offering thanks.
Leprechauns join in.
Song and dance.
The fiddlers prance
In and out among
Caotic scenes of
Energetic shenanigans.

The skimming winter day 
Becomes flushed angrily
Pushing with licentious revelry
And scowling delicately astray 

The day vanishes into the night eye
And dread ascents with a feeling scream
The night flickers in cherishing gleam
As life proceeds--a brilliant dusk settles over sky...

Breathless she whispered her promise
   over the ocean's whippoorwill wave
Eager for word did he hearken
   suppressed beneath work-a-day's grave

Closer she drew to strained earlobes
   alluring, affection's tone's shape
Ecstatic their impassioned revelry
   in dawn's light arm-in-arm draped...
