Premium Member A Weather Wizard

A weather wizard
    delivered a blizzard
      to Chicago yesterday

    If I weren’t so lily-livered  
    I’d have torn out his gizzard

Last Laugh

I should have looked before I leaped
now I have been left in a lurch
by my lily-livered boyfriend,
but I'll have the last laugh
when he see his laundry
in a lovely shade of pink.

lick a lollipop, a Lilliputan celebration
lively liquor lingers in consternation
limp limpidity in gradual gradation
liquidates lily-livered lightness in moderation
liquifying likely, causing freaky frustration

The Foe

Lily livered lint of a lizard, let him be called
In pious protest of his primevel name
He who in the spinning sun our death installed
Made history mere cinder for the flame
Why mark me with mortality for your material rage
What treasure in life's flesh yet I cage
He slithers between lines scrawled  on a creeping page
And leaf by leaf levers love with lurid rage.
