Zoysia Poems | Examples

.

        there wuz hern
 top the emerald zoysia
                and
          the july sun
     like icing on thuh
        wedding cake
         all 'pon hern
           exposed

              and i
           enjoying
          Yahweh's
            Create 



*Sunday'z testimony ')

Fantasizing to fly far
Away from the cement 
Barefooted on a field of zoysia
A deep sleep from a distant lullaby 
Holding close to a swing of emotions 
Still unable to see thee

Zany Z’s

Zany zoo of zaftig zebras,
Zarnder manes, zebus with ziffs,
Zip through zawns, zigzag with zest
Wearing zories and a zoster
From too much zimstern, zabaglione and ziti-
Zucchini, zwieback, zeppoles, and zeps;
Zillion zitherns of zirconia
Zinging on zephyrs for the zazzy
Zemni zealous zeal for Zambonis,
Zeaxanthin zaps zinc zombie zones,
Zoographer’s zest for the zygote Zen zenith - 
Zaffer zecchino of zebra finch in zamia,
Zorse in the zoysia with zinnia zepplins
Zimmers ziffs filled with zindandel zeatin, 
Zorillas in zoot suits zoom like zodiac zircons
Zebrafish zithers and zorse zoology
Zippity-do-da - ziplining zorros
Zero in on zonal zapateados zip codes
Zydecos zing with zuppa and zibibs
As zany zoo zonks out to zanza zills of Zzz’s.
