It was a big backyard, big enough to hold the imagination of a boy - trees to climb, sheds to explore, a large lawn to swing a bat or kick a ball and in a quiet corner, a sanctuary for prayer when my grandmother, bent over and groaning with angina, had me go there and ask God for help. There were...

Premium Member Lemon Tree Glee
Luxurious little lemon tree in the freshest garden next to a pea was heartily happy and wildly free She could be herself, and forever see Chickadee’s nest and a drilling bee. There was a haunting melody Somewhere nearby a dog had dropped a D. A forensic fellow’s forward-thinking fee giggled a glorious glitzy genuine glee. Shadows sheltered a shellfish-like she. A kindly kingly kangaroo’s key Languished...

*lemon tree filled* *with colorful melody* *blubbering hearts* *and lumbering luminosity* *it’s countenance cheering upward* *ferocious in it joyful cacophony* *spreading wide its branches* *buffet of pluming propensity* *bullish in its bittersweet* *its red and yellow sweets* *swathed resurrection* *Summer-squeeze of fruity leaves* / / / / / V V 5/19/2021...

Skirting church on Puig de Missa, then down the slope towards the river, St Eularia's Rui, with path that winds on to the sea. Past the smelly goats, where poking little fingers get nibbled, and goat-dribbled through the fence. Billy stands high on outcast fridge and watches babies butt their silly billy heads. Then past the scraggy peacock, beneath the orange tree, with...

The Marvel of a Flowering Lemon-Tree
Refrain I "I know the land where the lemon-trees flower, whispering beautiful secrets that shall soon devour, savoring that flavor with the tiny hint of sour. All the loveliness in nature can never be compared, lifting up our senses as the butterflies glared. Chorus A gorgeous marvel has come to be for the fragrance of a blossoming lemon-tree. Ravishing temptation to...

I know the land where the lemon tree flower It is a magical place known to only a few It smells of lilac and roses after a gentle shower It could be a terrific haven for me and you. Rich fine verdant leaves completely awe the landscape. The sky is streaked with brilliant lavenders and pink. Azaleas and primrose surround each...

I check my little lemon tree every day with delight, The new baby lemons are just growing out of sight. The lemon tree lives on my patio and loves the sun, And picking those giant lemons is such fun! The last one picked was like a grapefruit, huge in size, And the wonderful taste it did not compromise. The luscious lemon...

Lemon Tree Very Pretty
Lemon tree very pretty it was a summer night many years ago woke, thought I heard the whimpering of a baby, thought it was a dream, Woke up again my wife was not there by my side but in the garden where she had made a hole under a lemon tree She put what looked like a shoebox in the hole...

Nothing unusual blossomed to welcome spring But yet, we marvel at the growth of the heart's resilience ~ In this early morning's half-lit hour to watch her fondle the branch of sour fruit, we see her smile,.....reassured.... It makes one's eyes sting As if they were burned by the fruit's tangy juice ~ He would have been pleased to know three lovely lemons survived in spite of winter's...

You played a small part in “The Dirty Dozen”. However, I never saw you in a movie again. You had some more success in the recording studio. There are a couple of hit songs I am happy to know. Those are, “If I Had a Hammer”, and “Lemon Tree”. Both songs have pleasant lyrics and melody. Years later, those tunes still...

Yellow green citrus clean lemon tree lime In the meadow of sublime Too easy to change your mind Open the door to shut your heart Being dumb to outsmart Smile the smile finish to start Green yellow sunny fellow Sweetly sour girl mellows Show your quivering spine of Jell-o Crying out loud to laugh inside Dancing beneath a citrus sky Lemon tree lime with wings to...
