Leo Poems

Leo

Glorious cats of the Sun 
They strive to be number one
They live for recognition 
To be the best by definition

The most generous of them all 
No favor is too big or small 
They’re loyal to their tribe
Their love’s hard to describe

They love their mane
They can’t be tamed 
Big hearts of gold 
They’re regal and bold

Pope Leo XIV

A Cry to the Vicar of Christ

On the eighth of May—
in the year the world was wounded—
white smoke rose,
and the Spirit whispered:
Leo XIV.

Not a crown,
but a cross.
Not glory—
but Gethsemane.

Go now,
Holy Father,
to Gaza,
where God bleeds quietly
under shattered mosques.

A child cries without sound.
A mother digs without grave.
Hope is ash.
Peace is myth.
And still—
your hands are clean.

Go to the

I love you! 
I’m so happy you scolded Pres. Trump
Also mentioned
You’re ashamed to be called American
 
That is so good!
You even compared him with Jesus Christ
That is so good!
For me you’re the best Pope

Premium MemberRobert Francis Prevost - Pope Leo XIV

Robert Francis Prevost:
a brilliant man but not one to boast.
He brings a message of peace, love and hope,
and holy smoke! He’s the new pope.

Robert Francis Prevost:
as Leo XIV, he will not coast.
And another thing we know about the man:
he is a devoted baseball fan!

Premium MemberLeo The Lion

I'm Leo the Lion, I am, I am
From the mystical world of Astrology
I'm generous, strong and warmhearted
That's if you believe in symbology

Not making this up, check it out
Masculine, positive and extroverted
If I listen too carefully, my head will swell
Which should definitely be averted

My wife suggested widening the doorways
Or I might severely injure my brain
Methinks my

Premium MemberPOPE LEO XIV





The divine flame, the torch of eternal truth lit,
 
And passed it onto Pope's Leo XIV trembling hand

Who, fervently, prayed to our God almighty,

Peace and love to bring, upon men's tormented land.

it was summer and
mother had been busy
in the kitchen all day
making a fancy dinner
and custom birthday cake

year after year
it never got old
but I soon would ~
anticipation giving way
to fond memories

Leo Tolstoy

"Yeah, Tolstoy, 
the guy could write like he was carving his name 
into a mountain. 

A real heavyweight. 
He saw the whole circus of life and didn’t blink. 

Kings and peasants, love and death, all rolled into one. 
Maybe too serious for his own good, 
but that’s what made him real. 

The man had guts,

August! Most days uphold the Leo Sign-

Urge those then born- to follow Lion's line.

Grand confidence and steadfastness are prone-

Unless the sting of arrogance is shown-

Sensed not accepting critics and their slights;

The August Lions share mixed-bag delights.

Date August  10,  2040
Damian roused Molly from her
Pleasant dream just because 
He wanted to make love. She
Drowsyly responded to his 
Belly caressing, "Yes, Damian 
I'm sleeping, soo... tired." 
He said, "ooh, that's alright."
He began rubbing her thigh and
Kissed her neck she wouldn't wake.
Then Damian started laughing 
When he Heard her snoring.
Damian continued caressing

A Dog Named Leo

I pass a dog named Leo
Sometimes on my morning walks.
Off leash, he goes exploring
While his owner stops and talks.

He’s black and white with stand-up ears,
His body low and squat,
But his wagging tail stands out,
The finest feature that he’s got.

Other canines save their wagging
For a dog-specific reason – 
Recognition or approval or
As thanks for something pleasin.’

Yet
