You find so many people are horrible
But you, you are mostly adorable.
I like the way you roam.
You do it like a loam.
I like the way you giggle.
You do it like Quiggle.
I like the way you talk.
You do it like Boc.
You find so many people are markable.
But you, you are most remarkable.
I love the way you wear your hair,
You are spreading your style everywhere.
You're like a style fountain.
Enough jazz for a whole mountain.
You find so many people are overgenerous.
But you, you are most generous.
You're the perfect girl.
You are leaving me in such a whirl.
You find so many people are disarming.
But you, you are most charming.
Adorable, remarkable and generous,
Charming and terrific too,
Are the qualities of you
You find so many people are specific.
But you, you are mostly terrific

WRITTEN WORDS BY James Edward Lee Sr. 2020©
RICH HARVEST, LONG WINTER - ALOUETTE
Summer’s green near shut -
Held ajar by glut.
Overgenerous rewards
On the groaning ground -
Spilling o’er with round,
Bursting butter-beans in gourds.
Now is winter’s brown -
The piled logs run down.
Drifting dead, the months prolong,
Freeze all thought of yields :
Cold minds whiten fields.
Till springs door open - too long.
