lizards are here
lizard's take a look out
lizard's in your ear
never heard them probably never will
Reasons why I stay in my mind and write poetry
Is because of doors that keep opening and locking
As I deal with all these notions
I make all the words
And turn them into potions
Pouring out parts of my soul
As my mind holds them in like a deep ocean
I don't know where il be tomorrow or what holds them
All I know is my will is the key that keeps me going
And it's only I that reaps and sows them
fathom rider;
I'd rather;
Be covered in lather;
Than become displaced;
Challenge fighter;
Surfing waters;
Been blown in the winds;
Coarse confusion;
Mass delusions;
Help me back in my skin;
Burn impressions;
Mass detection;
Of the gatherings;
When it's all said and done;
Mankind reaps what it sows;

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr.2019©
"When leaves start to grow, stronger would turn bough.
He conjures for cultivar to hold strength- ephemeral it won't be."
He waters and let roots inhale life-
Banyan tree older than any lore,
Would stand there in years and for a time-immemorial
Buds and flowers would bow,
he dreams of daffodils to blossom on its bosom
With the leaves turning yellow, brown and red
he fancies to see roses in its arms
aroma of jasmine would cover his farm,
mango will be brought by last sprouts
'once reapen may they taste- exactly like grapes'
and once it fills his appetite
he wants it to bring merry to him
Laws are made by Congress for public
Public suffer by virtue of its click
Law maker keep loopholes
As they don’t have souls
Claim to be more than equal to check.
No lack of *Napoleon or *Snowball
Workhorses like *Boxer at their call
To use and abuse *Windmill
They choose their own deal
People left pauper after their fall.

Contest: Double Limerick by JOhn Freeman & Carolyn Devonshire
Inspired Linda-marie"s Limerick "Zip It"
U.S.A. Congress imposes the LAW,
"Do as I say, but not do" hence the flaw,
While we earn large salary,
You struggle in poverty,
An amendment will just stick in our craw.
================================================
** Napoleon and Snowball are the leaders in Animal Farm fighting for the power.
Boxer is a character who looks on which side of the bread is buttered.
Windmill just a symbol of a project thro' which the politicians grind their axe.
