Yaldabaoth embellished in his shadows

Fearsome face of sickly white
Lion-headed snake
Embellished in his shadows  
With flaming orange beneath

March Comes In Like A Lion

March Comes In Like A Lion 

Dandelion dance
in the palm of my 
hand; a gentle 
bloom. 

I love 
my birthday 
flower.

The Lion of Judah

A priest on top of Mount Zion 
Offered a prayer to Orion
The scripture quoted
On the air floated
So lunch was fresh for the lion

Premium Member she looks like a lion

she stares at me with amber eyes
looks like a lion, no surprise
on the prowl, like a giant cat
she stomps off angry, just like that

Lion with the lovely mane
You are so pure, so loving, so sane
You are sassy, handsome and fine, and….

I am dandelion
in a world of weed killers
colour of sunshine
yet despised for being me
with one's seed so prolific

The Angry Lion

A jungle of circumstance…
preying on the silence

Each verse a whip to crack the dark
—and tame the angry lion

Lioness tames the lion
Showing him new ways of thought
Leading him gently

Is the lioness worth it?

I shall leave the field a strutting lion with the farmer in my stomach

Premium Member If You Want To Be Omnivores

If you want to be omnivores, 
Raise your hands.
Compliant lions raised 
their  giant paws
not understanding why the men were 
sitting on their hands.

Premium Member Sea Lion and Sea Horse

Sea lion and sea horse were friends of course.
Living in the Pacific of the Norse.
Heard a rumor
Both had a tumor.
Not from an honest reliable source.

Lion of Light

A single firefly
bumped into a computer monitor
and
fell into the keyboard,
floundering
lost in the valley,
slow crawling
disappears into the darkness.

Some jokes that had people cry’n
They were dumb and lame

There once was a lion named Brian 
Who really just wouldn’t stop cryin’
He had a sore tummy 
And wanted his mummy 
The whole thing was really quite trying.

Despondent leopard could barely eat
He was missing his favorite cousin Pete
You have to shake it off his parents said.
But he had a feeling that Pete was dead.

In the zoo pub he had one too many
He awoke to exposure
Being in the wrong enclosure
Cuddling a princess lioness called Jennie

Submission to the sleeping lion 
Seeing his shadow as a place to lie in 
The darkness of eternal obscurity and sin 
Not unveiling our bright star clothed in skin

Premium Member A Lion named Lou

 There once was a Lion named Lou,
 who thought he was tougher than you.
     He got into a fight,
     On the wrong night,
 and got beat by a kanga-kung fu!

OH, howl, you transient lion
cause the lamb to lean in fluff
against a line of Jonquils
budding ‘neath a crust of melting snow.
