Ima Ryma Poems

Was found guilty and ordered to
60 lashes of the whip sort.
Her crime was she was with men who
...

White Owl, my mother, was prepared
To make her journey into death.
It was her time she had declared.
She struggled so with earthly breath.

I am Bejookee, puma queen
Of the realm of Lincoln Park Zoo.
From my ledge, I take in the scene.
If you're nearby, I'm watching you.

A mouthful for humans to say.
We like to live in wetland flats.
Lincoln Park Zoo - great place to stay.

As written centuries ago.
Some amendments did get indwelled,
But nothing recent - doncha know!

I am Burma, a gibbon girl,
Swinging at the Lincoln Park Zoo.

A white faced saki monkey - me.
While I'm at the Lincoln Park Zoo,
Most in South America be.
But I'm a guest here - just for you.
