Mum sent me off to Sunday School
To learn about the Golden Rule
But Satan said,
"Look! Ilene's shed!
What shall we do for May Day Fool?"
No Niihau friend
To see forbidden Aden
Where the time stands still

Fourth Placement
Contest: Tropical Treasures
The frozen north has never appealed to me
Was born to live in the tropics near the sea
Eighty-six years of cold
On a tropic isle I'm sold
Love wearing my pretty lei golly gee
I saw him first, a god on earth
A treasure of unequalled worth.
A shy approach, with butterflies
And briefly he and I locked eyes.
He’s in another woman’s arms
Delirious she from his charms
Still she intros me to handsome . . .
I am holding my new grandson!

His soul was set with his hard heart
Mine eyes shadows seeing a lark
All one can do is just hope pray
Elohim Father granting us a stay
Soar abundant dreams of solace
Holy verse of feet rhythm dance

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2023©
is love to be a wilted rose
to fade beneath the winter snows
to pierce itself with its own thorn
its beauty hide in death to mourn
i watch it bloom from tiny seeds
a spark of lust from passion bleeds
unfold itself within a kiss
then fade within the dying bliss

Princely, proud with nobility,
I fear you ride in vanity.
Host not the sword but spare thine heart,
for tomorrow you must depart.
But take heed, know my love's expense,
to sleep one night, lest hundred hence.
Take this token, that holds my soul,
that you might return safe and whole.
Your beauty so pure, calm like snow,
Mesmerises me, now I know.
Your divine smile, brightens my day,
Now worries from past, will not stay.
Your heart is filled with love and care,
How blessed am I, to have you near.
You are the one I met in dreams,
Beyond beautiful, my life seems.

I thought I recognized your face
You left me in this very place
But that was long ago, my friend,
And I thought then it was the end
So here we stand some years later
Waiting on an elevator
And I still love you, sad to say
I never should have come this way

Also and ACROSTIC
Past sixty, I can sharpen well
On pencils, invite wise romance -
Each held right, Sharp'ner in left, hand(s)
Tight, soft, tight, soft, easy does it
Recall youth: Sharp'ning loud and quick
You broke them more than you'll admit
(c) Deo, shalom, shalom: Not much longer to OVERCOME Covid19 (SARS Co19)
A blue jay cries high in the tree
on a branch, vibrant blues we see
A cardinal pair perched for seed
as the bright red male takes the lead
A chickadee lands as he sings
a dee, dee, dee and flaps his wings
A grey nuthatch lands upside down
and feeds never turning around

On moonlit strolls along the beach
Ardor is never out of reach
To rhythmic waves two lovers dance
And ignite the flames of romance
Then love completes the hearts desire
A timeless treasure to acquire
Love has delight enough for two
And lights the path for hearts so true

a lei
warmly undulates in the harbor,
scented blossoms in the surf,
welcoming each voyager
with frangipani, plumeria, shells and
haku mele. the ukulele and current
gently pulls with mellifluous undertow.
a garland aloha and hula hips
enhance each Polynesian hug
in passionate sunrise and sunset hues.

haku mele — weaving a poetic text, chant, or song
Having been alone for Yuletide
On New Year’s morn, she stared outside
Neighbors were packing lights away
To place in storage, where they’d stay
For such décor, she’d lost her taste
As celebrating seemed a waste
And she knew well this was her last
Her heart belonged to Christmas past

For Charles Messina’s “LAY It on Me” contest
We sail away beneath the sun -
vows made. Our journey’s now begun.
We glide till twilight’s tangerine
drips into ocean’s azure-green.
To shore we’re led by June’s light breeze.
You give my hand a little squeeze.
We wait for time most opportune
for honey underneath the moon!

As we kiss underneath the stars
I floated pass Venus and Mars
Instantly I didn't want to land
I was glad that I took your hand
I've never known such sweet love
We seemed to fit just like a glove
My heart and soul had such a glow
I'm lucky to have a kind beau

I gave a glance but did she see
Then she glanced, and looked at me
Instantly I sensed attraction
Tho' the look took but a fraction,
For happenstance, it paved the way
Ensuring that we met that day
So here am I, in love with you
I now believe... dreams can come true.

Forever
When the moon burst it cracked a smile
To marry in radiant style
The North Star seals young glowing love
Brings kindness and light from above
A beach fire sparks vows with a chime
Gives birth ties tides ever in time
Waxed in passion foot prints take sight
Sunshine seals dawn out of the night

On yearning wings of dream I fly
on cloud nine to your fold, my sky.
My heart unfurls petals of rose
where I feel your dew face repose.
Even when you’re not beside me
love-tinged glint of your eyes I see.
In winter-wan meadow of mine
I seek a slice of your sunshine.

As the wind blew strong on the face
The head tipped downward, in this place
Lost in the fog, with pelting sleet
Would there be two tracks that will meet?
Then a touch of a fingertip,
Wiped the last tear drop from a drip
Before it froze with a heart closed
Love’s warmth cured the danger it posed

To be yours means never needing,
as my starving heart you’re feeding.
Our dalliance of romance, firm-
ethereal hearts shall affirm.
Idyllic~ touching me with ease,
our resonating love shan’t cease.
Sing to me a soft lullaby;
(he pulls me close…I gently sigh)

I‘d love to view the northern lights,
a stunning sight which brings delights
Dark skies awash with vivid blues,
with pinks and green or yellow hues
A rainbow in the evening sky -
this spectacle would catch my eye!
To see these lights would make my day ...
must visit Iceland or Norway!

I follow the gray mist shadow
awaiting dawn, still fray meadow.
Draught night creaks, cries, and laughter flow,
amber teardrops stowed trickled slow.
Within unsteady mortal soul
left breathless, speechless no control.
Foolish and a coward betray
to hear pained wounded donkey bray.

I saw her first on windswept plain
Her gold hair shone like sunlit grain
Her skin as fair as cloud above
A form that spoke to me of love...
She dainty stepped; I held my breath
My heart did gasp, a gasp of death
For she was lame, as lame could be
Would love still fain join her with me?
