zany zippy zambo
rarely watches Rambo
preferring cartoons
watching Saturn’s moons
persnickety ways
does not waste his days
doing what he wants and only that
brought home five dogs and one straggly cat
zany zippy zambo is the king
of doing only his own thing
he had a wife who ran away
every day for him is full of play
Zebra is not the odd one at all
In tales of adventure so springy and tall
In the land of the wishy swisher kings
The zebra is zippy, kind of one of the zings.
Let us begin today.
New attitude.
Zany.
Funny.
Happy.
Zippy.
Excited.
Upbeat
Positive attitude!
Unless you already have one.
Then disregard.
Spring so pretty, come fever my ditty
with daytime wispy and nighttime witty -
not hot sticky, not cold chilly,
but warm sun frilly and cool moon giddy
that I may best invest in Spring's whimsy.
If not too tricky, dream me scent zippy.
Show your prissy, you change hippy,
let your season's dizzy shake self-pity,
blur ego’s icky, stop my dreads so shifty
that rift me with heart feels of guilty.
Take me swiftly with your quickie, spell-coy hickey
so my joy now misty will soon bloom me Spring nifty.
Juli Michelle's Rhyme Battle XII
March 15, 2018
She is a fountain of fun and favour;
A garden garnished with glow and glamour...
She is a field burnished with fresh fragrance...
a river of royalty and refreshing radiance.
Her heart hails from the hills of happiness
Where gloom gives way to glowing gladness...
God is her source of sweetness and strength;
Her hands share great hope and health.
She is a sister and friend like no other...
With her, the weak have no cause to bother...
Zuliat glows with grace and special sweetness...
She is a queen in a kingdom of kindness...
Her passion is so priceless and precious...
She is graciously gifted and gorgeous.
Mawedo is a bundle of bliss and boundless beauty...
She preens in the palace of peace and prosperity.
I wish you the alluring aura of nature
And a brighter rewarding future.
I wish you the wisdom of timeless ages
And sweet stories on pleasant pages.
Happy birthday dearest sister.
God took the allure of awesome angels
and the pulchritude of priceless jewels.
God fetched the freshness of fountains;
and the matchless might of mountains.
God caught the coolness of dew at dawn,
and the soothing relief of luxury lawn.
God reaped the rare radiance of a rainbow,
and the sweet voice of a special sparrow.
God reached for the royalty of a loyal queen
and the mystery of things unseen.
God wielded the wisdom of ages past
and the freedom of stormy blast;
God garnished the generous grace of nature
with the patience of eternal adventure.
God sought the sweetness of honey
and the amazing acceptability of money.
God wrapped the riches of mother earth;
with the reality of heaven and earth.
God mixed the mildness of twilight moon
with the warmth of sun at noon.
God picked The purity of winter snow
and the glory of heaven's glow...
God then combined all these features
to make a compassionate creature.
To me she is an alluring and amazing art
but her parent named her Zuliat.
Wishing her a wonderful birthday
Filled with great joy all the way.
