Lonely

Lonely Lenny lizard was as sad as sad can be He lived in the rain forest in a leafy green tree Prayed his dreams for a lady lizard would finally come true But he was so quiet and shy what could poor Lenny do Wandering around so sadly with his head held low He had problems with his long tongue so he’d tied it in a bow Lenny crawled slowly and found a craggy rock Climbed up onto it and oh boy he got a shock A stunning lady lizard was basking in the shade Lenny blushed bashfully; should her privacy he invade She flicked her tongue towards him and caught a tasty fly Lenny was delighted that he'd caught this beauty’s eye He went and sidled next to her, she did undo his bow Now no longer tongue tied Lenny’s words began to flow That day they found true love on that mossy green stone Lenny is thrilled with his life and no longer lives alone 2nd June 2014 Submitted to Carol Eastmans contest 'Favourite Poem I've ever written' Achieved No 1 position along with all the other poems entered :-) Submitted to L poetry Contest Sponsored by Constance La France This poem was inspired by just three little words from Darren Watson and my dream now is to turn it into an illustrated children's book.
