Streamers of smooth light--
luminous phenomenon
hovers the northern
and southern magnetic poles--
mesmerizing Auroras
dry water resources
withered trees, crops
farmer throws hands skywards
Evening fireflies...
fleeting illumination...
an evocation
of a warm Southern spring night
with my partner, lover, friend
beauties
unruffled
on a steamy day
float in boats rowed by their beaus
white silken hands folding their fans at sunset
What I miss at this old age
is sitting high like some tree sage,
in a stately southern oak
not thinking of being rich or broke.
In the South New Jersey town of Stratford
grew a southern black oak tree.
It’s now a lifeless stump.
Southern livin’s mighty fine,
On chickin’ you can daily dine.
So pull up a chair
Don’t go anywhere,
And don’t even begin to whine!
A young kangaroo pickpocket
Got nabbed when she tried to hock it
But Joey saw
Sex in the raw
And damned if he did not cock it!
Tea kettle whistles;
As the life evaporates,
The brew soothes the soul.
In Loving Memory of Granny Pearl's Heavenly Homecoming
Upward rise,
Daily highs.
Skyward eyes,
Season's ties.
Crowded skies,
Southern cries,
Northward flies.
Mated prize,
Winter dies.
I just wanted your attention
nothing more.
But you are busy
chasing the north wind.
I am here
by the southern breeze,
waiting.
Sailing... I must go now to the steep strange stunning cunning Southern stormy seas~

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr
autumn time in may
blue mountains and coral reefs
southern hemisphere

Shoo
Shoo-fly
Shoofly Pie
Shoe-fly pie is a southern favorite,
made with molasses and named for its
tendency to draw flies.
Peaches, nothing fancy
in a sweet fruit salad,
to drink, likely, iced tea.

Although there's no sign from above
That the two of us are in love
Before day is done
Our hearts beat as one
Because we both fit like a glove
a 5-7-5 (not sure if it could be called a senryu)
In some Southern states,
nature rivaled Corona.
We worshiped at home.

Silver-blue magenta
shimmering warmly white
damson-dark at center
like southern summer night
clay might yet invent a
true visceral new light.
Southern Butterfly
The Green dill gave him a thrilll
Caterpillars born
Caterpillars gone
Dill eaten none remains now
Empty stems no chance
oh so sweet
i wonder if they'll do magic to my feet
cus they sure do so to my tummy
and freeeze my thumb..y
hahaha crack me up with sweeetness
A Southern Memory
dusty, winding road
cotton crops glowing bright white
Mississippi mud

Haiku, (Time has flown)
bird on
a wire
what makes
your heart
go higher or
is it
what you
desire
that true passion
to be
absolutely
free
as
the
southern wind
Southern Skies
Clouds burst a new rain.
The golden sunlight glitters.
Thus quenching drought’s pain.

In the town of Vidalia, GA,
Lived a girl named Mahalia, they say.
Then a strong southern breeze,
Blowing in from the seas,
Blew Vidalia Mahalia away.
A vampire known as Silent Killer,
wanted to star in a thriller;
He had just one flaw,
that lisp in his southern draw;
Film’s a talkie, what a bummer.
