WEDDING RECEPTION

ALfresco buffet
candlelight dinner
evening finale;
guests' hunger intensify
just kebab lamb
musical notes overcome pangs
quell rumbling stomachs
temper unheard voices
wine xcites
yawning zlubs

-------------------------------  
PRACTISING ZEN

Awakening bliss creates
divine euphoria, forges
grace, healing, inner joy;
kindles light, merges
nirvana, order, perfection;
quiets restless soul
transforms unknown visions within
xpels yelling zealots

Liked both poems, but loved PRACTISING ZEN . . . Such a conglomeration of line after line leading up to the cool last line . . . Loved  it

Thanks Jerry, it's always good to read your responses. Can't take off today on any writing, so thought of just having fun at word play

I rather like both. Alfresco dining under candles with some wine is just my cup of tea. And I'll keep my intuition and meditation for 'us'...I worship no gods.
