loving lasting laughter, leisurely learning lemonade lessons
lickety split, laundering little leagues of lithographs in lime

Like His Meat When Lean Horn Haiku

cat owned by Philistine
they both liked the same cuisine
which was meat when lean

Give till ye go lean

A rough stone when gives and gets of girth lean,
Grounded by a grindstone begets good sheen.

A warrior wrestles till gravely wounded,
Victorious, shines forth O bleeding red.

Take elephant in rut, gone lean and mean,
It stands out on giving and gone serene.

Glitters a river gone lean in autumn
From fully flooded in monsoon season.

No phase of moon seems so incandescent    
As one that hath gone leanest as crescent.

A young lass gone lean and pale post coitus,
A mother post birth, what a rare status!   

Who so that hath given to one in want,
Gleams having given till gone lean and gaunt.

In Love With the Meat

jagged edge blade, made me bleed and stabbed me deep, so far in, i have quite literally changed mentally and physically, i have become a lean ground beef pack, to be used after freezing and to be used once, please dont use me whole, i-i- l'll burn!

The Lean

Mostly people who are lean
Are the ones thought to be mean;
Don’t ask them “Where have you been?”
For being The Odd Human Being,
Who prefer to be not seen.

Mostly people who are lean
Would enact hair-raising scene,
As students challenge their Dean:
Rice prove inferior to Bean
For long weeks wear just a jean.

Mostly people who are lean
On Evaluation dead keen:
Laugh as one tries to self preen,
See beyond what people feign, 
Keep a memory evergreen.

 Mostly people who are lean
Their trait transfer via The Gene:
Watch babies their mothers wean
Age but still looking quite Green…

I Wish You Knew Me

I wish you knew me better 
You would be my best friend
I wish you knew me better 
You would treat me with respect 
I wish you knew me better 
You would confirm I am not evil
I wish you knew me better 
You would glorify my God
I wish you knew me better 
You would trust and cherish me
I wish you knew me better 
You would stand by me
Through tick and thin
I wish you knew me well enough 
You would let me
Lean on your shoulders 
I wish you knew me better 
You would appreciate 
What I stand for
I wish you knew me better 
Life would be more meaningful 
To you my compatriots 

Come closer to me my brothers
Do not stay far off my sisters
Judge me not from a far
Read me and be enlightened

                               Feline
                        Lean and furry
               Stalking sprinting panting
              The fastest cat in the forest
                             Cheetah

Lean

When you get old, you’d best get smart
And wise up really fast;
What you could do when you were young
Has slipped into the past.

No longer can you rush about
And, careless, seize the day.
Now, when you do too much, too quick,
Come morning, you will pay.

The thoughts of fading glory years
Can often bring despair;
The memories of brawn and strength
Can on the psyche wear.

But patience, not a gift that youth
Can readily receive,
Comes only with the pass of time;
First, arrogance must leave.

It’s hard to learn to ask for help,
Accept that you might fail.
Sometimes, it’s not the body, but
The ego that is frail.

So plan; don’t be impetuous.
Don’t act on every whim,
And things will go much better when
You learn to lean on Him.

Lean On Me

You can lean on me any time of day
I'm there for you, I won't run away.
I'm here to help so you don't fall
And improve your stature so you walk tall.

When on a hike, down a country lane
I'll support you there in sun or rain.
We can climb mountains with great pride
As long as we take it all in our stride.

When old and struggling to get out of your chair
Just reach for me, as I shall be there;
You can expect your helping aide
So you won't feel sad and so dismayed.

An old broken branch I was when found
And you raised me up off the dirty ground.
You fashioned me into a walking stick,
From that day on we truly did click.

So, I'm so grateful that you came my way
I will always support you, come what may.
In gratitude I will serve you happily,
All I ask is that you lean on me.

Lean Not On Gurus

Lean not on gurus, for God search
Why prop up middleman
Sitting on high and mighty perch
Our credit card they scan

God within intimate
Here now immediate
Go in now, do not wait

Power, they abuse
Lean not on gurus

Quietus

Forest Tall and Lean Hovering Over Me-

Forrest ever so;
Reigning O'er me;
Towering,
Spruce timbers be;
100 feet high and more;
While others you have just below, the skies;

Lean On One God

Happy birthday, Sister Mylene, 
Let these words in lines warm your heart; 
Your life always prefers to lean 
On one God's guidance at day's start. 

Topic: Birthday of Mylene Asuncion (March 14)

Lean On Me

Lean on me please if you want to.
And know I am here for you.
Whether I am here beside you 
Or a thousand miles away.

Lean on me please if you want to.
I've been where you are so I kmow.
We'll talk, I'll listen, we'll cry,
I'll understand.

Lean on me please if you want to.
I have enough strength to help you.
Your path is familiar to me,
I know where it's going.

Lean on me please if you want to.
We can share our pain and sorrow.
We can feed on each others love.
Gain strength in our friendship.

So...
Lean on me please, If you want to ?

Lean Jean

Once knew a gal named Lean Jean
The skinniest young chickie I've ever seen
When she turned to the side
Wondered where she did hide
Her shadow even disappeared from the scene

A Rock To Lean Against In the Hour of Need

Liberal and poetic translation of an extract from the verse portion of Lotus Sutra, Chapter 25 (Avalokitesvara Chapter).


Sentient Beings mired in myriad hardships, 
Who toss and turn and buckle under 
Relentless anxieties, the fog of uncertainty, 
Shall find relief in the miraculous wisdom of 
Avalokitesvara, whose name dissolves all difficulties! 
The wondrous sound of Avalokitesvara!
So pure like serene waves, peerless in this world, 
Who could afford to ignore it?
Cherishing each chant with true faith, the pure
And Sagely Avalokitesvara, the rock all may lean against 
In their hour of need and day of peril.
Replete with merit, and eyes of benevolence,
Blessings boundless like the ocean, worthy of reverence!
