Lee Poems

Bruce Lee

(A Tribute in Dream and Shadow)

I was not there when death closed your eyes,
But I saw you on the great screen of the world.
In dreamland, twice you walked toward me—
your steps were not of flesh,
but of spirit dressed in fire.

The first time I beheld Enter the Dragon,
I knew you were not merely a man—
your body

Voice of Lee Kuan Yew

I took a trembling island by the hand—
Barefoot children, broken streets,
A people shamed by foreign tongues,
Their dignity pawned for crumbs of aid.

I did not wait for the West to love us.
They called me tyrant,
Because I silenced the noise
That kept my people in chains.

They praised democracy—
Yet their own hands were stained
With centuries of empire and greed.

The Fire Within - Abstract by Lee J Morgan

Determined energy encapsulates what smolders silently inside.
Quiet resilience produce a bold, inspiring presence that space opens wide.
With a colour gamut of profound earthy tone, 
Striking fiery reds and chilling white hot lashes stand alone. 
Morgan's painting suggests the perception of dancing flames to a beat,
Within the vision, to create a physical feeling of blistering heat.

Lee Watches Thrillers on TV

I rarely see a ghastly sight said Lee
Nothing grisly or gruesome except on TV
I watch homicides all day and night long
What murderers do to bodies, is usually wrong.

Why don’t you watch uplifting shows? Mama said
They don’t interest me or excite my head.
Liking the macabre seemed weird to her.
Especially since Lee used to be pacifist-pure.

I’m still

Lee Vilifies Her Husband

Lee vilifies Henry, her husband, a good man
Maligning him whenever and however she can
Most of us move out of her arrogant lying way
Not wanting to hear what she has to spout or say

Super Confident Carolyn Lee

Carolyn Lee, a quirky artist, befriended me
She did everything with a bucket of glee
Best of all, her friendship was free
I learned a lot from Carolyn Lee.

She played art well, with a tee hee hee
Always laughing and beautifully
Other people’s criticism she did not hear or see
She was super confident, Carolyn Lee.

Why don’t you come paint with

Lee the Fabulous Chili Maker

Lee considered himself the most famous chili maker in the west
Added tobacco, Heinz 57, cinnamon, gave it a big taste test
We had heard about his concoctions, and could not wait.
The first bite was terrible, second bitter, the third one a bad fate.

What about this stew had given him a glowing review?
We could not keep our

Serendipitous Lee Ann

LeeAnn never expected another bout of luck.
On Wednesday she discovered a new breed of duck.
On Thursday she stumbled upon another rare find.
She had a truly serendipitous engaging mind.

On Friday a country undiscovered is what she found.
She is the most fascinating adventurer around.
On Saturday we thought she might take a little rest.
That is the day she

Tale of Lee Ann

Lee Ann had never tried alcohol before
Had a little sip, then four bottles more
Her sense of humor seemed unusually high
Made friends with a stranger, a handsome young guy

Her judgement was now completely and deeply asleep
Pickled and pie-eyed, she got into the stranger’s jeep
I’ll take her home, he reassured her friend, Miss Kim.
Twenty-two years ago; and

CELEBRAING VETERANS- JOSEPH LEE HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY

I took a ride today
Stopped at the cemetery
And looked to the skies
Then lowering my head and hands
At the American Legion section
I saluted the remains of those soldiers
WW1 WW2 Korean Vietnam
All the vets!
Hallelujah thank you for your service
Salute
Praise God for you who now sleep
Ever present
 with the Lord Our God
You remains bones in the grave
Not your

To Lee: With Love, From Me

This one is going to hurt.

That is why it has taken me so long to write it,
Because a part of me still loves you
And thought you would call or write me.
I know you need your time;
You have your process, and I respect it.

But today, today, I was ready.
I opened the drawers.
I picked up your sweaters,
This

Cat Lady Be Mine

Reputation is what others say about us, character is what we know about ourselves.  Don’t be enslaved by what others say about you—Robert N Gorelick

Cat Lady Be Mine

Tall and svelte, kind and discrete
Lovely single cat lady strolls up my street
Some folks are just crabby
I love you and your tabby!
Cat lady be mine and life

mother preferred Lee

Sue outshone her brother Lee
He was a druggie, liar, thief, a never-do-well
Sue was an occupational therapist
a wife, a mother, an outstanding citizen

Their mother put Lee on the highest pedestal
making up fraudulent accomplishments for him
and excuses when he was popped into jail
it was always a misunderstanding

Sue kept her mouth shut at first
But when the lies and

Uncle Lee eats Pudding for Supper

chocolate pudding for supper? Sure why not?
Shhh.....Differing opinions are not sought
I like my sweet foods, and milk products too
Keep your ideas to yourself, nephew naysayer Stew
I was just going to ask if there was enough pudding for me.
Well that is different, yes, I will share, said my Uncle Lee.
