Short Leland Poems

Leland was not old
However, he was set in his ways
Cantankerous and vinegarish
Most nights and most days
Let’s set him up with Mable, I suggested.
She was another human that I detested....

.
The sighing pines sway
Clouds fly high and play
LeLand Cypress moves
But the oak crackles
And it does not groove

Roosters silence
Somewhat eerie
While ghostly limbs
Of pecan blow

Winter yet
Spring like still
Fickled time

Rejoice
Enjoy

Pause...

“One more jump and I’ll have that apple!” Leland said.
Spot scooted back another nudge or so.
He had been stepped on before, and he did not like it.
Leland jumped and jumped and jumped.
His optimism amazed Spot, he was glad Leland was his boy....

Lukewarm loudmouth listless ludicrous Leland Lee
Made a merry mockery goading murderous Melody
Nefarious needlessness if you ask the likes of me
Offensive objectifying ornery oddball oddity.
Parlaying pretty pukey habits during the grand Prix
Quarrels started up about it all over our family....

Haughty hefty Helga has healthy hatred
Igniting ignorant Inga’s inebriated idiocy
Justifying jealous Julie’s juvenile judgements
Kindling crafty Kara’s crazy critter-like craftiness
Leaving Lonesome Larry loathing lofty lying Leland
Making Malicious maltreated Mallory manageable
Nasty negativity nonchalantly noticeable in Neverland....

Leland the artistic elephant was plain at birth
This will not do said his mama with mirth.
An artist, she used his skin as a canvas of course
You could never confuse him with a raven or a horse.

He has style, patterns, colors, and a pretty design.
He is mine says his mother, he is handsome and fine.
Other elephants envy him, they call him artistic guy.
But it embarrasses him, for Leland is shy....

Juggle master kept adding to his shuffle
He is amazing said his cousin Leland Muffle.
Juggling balls, teapots, sandwiches and more.
Almost anything I bring home from the store.

Did he ever juggle guns? I ask. Did he ever juggle a knife?
He juggled a knife once, but he said he’d never do it twice.
He amazes me I said as he juggled cookies and tea cakes.
I wonder if he could juggle a few hoes and garden rakes?...

Open the eyes of my heart
As open as the space
In the Leland Cyprus
Let the gap see truly thee

Open the eyes of my heart
Let the spirit flow inward
Filling to the overflow
Let me have compassion

Open the eyes of my heart
Let the spirit flow outward
With love, tenderness
Caring  and concern

Open the eyes of my heart
Seeing all the world's wrong
Spreading thy healing message
Love is the key for you and me...

Bitsy always goes barefoot, Sammy was told.
Never gets excited, her personality never gets old.
This was all from her grandpa, who thought she was gold.
After Sammy met her, he agreed three-fold.

Bitsy was an old-fashioned girl, who never got excited.
She cared not for news or who was getting indicted.
Sammy began pursuing her, she made him feel good inside.
“You are right, Leland,” he said. “she would make a wonderful bride.”...

Seamstress Leland is sewing up all broken hearts.
Helping to heal those sad despondent couples torn apart.
Magic in his fingertips come onto the sewing thread.
When he is finished, the heart is glowing a pretty red.

But does it work? The naysayer asks Leland in a weird way.
He replies, “If it didn’t, why would I waste my time all day?”
This makes sense to me. I admire his devotion and dedication.
He heals so many, purifying their hearts in pure edification....
