A football player named Zay
Made an exceptional play.
The ref called it flaunting,
But I thought it quite daunting.
Can't a guy celebrate a great day?
waders flaunt in flock
loosely lingering, gossips --
with squawks and squabbles
I am dressed in fuchsia, lime green, vibrant yellow and turquoise today.
I feel like I just stepped off a Polynesian island as a butterfly.
I am almost too pleased with myself, flaunting my prettiness.
Marvelous start to a Monday that could have remained ordinary.
O blame it on cruciferous.
The playing most muciferous.
Those florets of broc
portend a great shock.
The flaunt of the toot odoriferous.

eveningtide dour
sarcastic squirrel does runs
beyond his own tree
~
twilight grounds runner
this young nutling squawks talking
he's above me hides

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2020
Oh! How he sauntered like a lord with his flaunt
The bluster and strut so nonchalant
The swank and sway blew me away
And swept me under the table like child's play!
My! His handsome style
His arrogant modesty was no denial
He beamed as he jilted so tauntingly
Every female around was flibberty-jibberty
Cursed! As he grabbed my eye balls out of their sockets
My heart in my throat-my stomach an empty pocket
While his prance in tight pants made me dance
Wishing for one real bona fide chance
So! Afraid of the outcome of dealing with this situation
Argh! "Get em up scout!" I'm cutting out
My courage is fading to total damnation
By this spellbound swagger sensational "knockout"!!
fly by skies;
summer radiant moon;
days dawning
aqua lakes;
~
ever taking beauty flaunting
sun rise parted;
new day started;
skies blaze twinkling, days dawning sunrise parted;
