Ima Ryma Poems

Bottom of the 9th and 2 outs.
This little leaguer's up to bat.
I try not to hear all the shouts,
But, it's scary where I am at.
...

Teddy Roosevelt thought football
Had become too unsportsmanlike,
A pack of wolves on a rag doll.
Fatality from a gang strike.
...

Tigers are an endangered group.
How endangered, humans need know.
So humans wonder how best snoop
To count the tigers come and go.
...

Nelson Mandela, freedom's good,
Became the heart, the mind, the soul
Of freedom for all humanhood,
No obstacle to stop that goal,
...

Two thousand fourteen is the year
Of the horse so say the Chinese,
But worldwide, fortunetellers gear
Up to sell humans on foresees.
...

Here at Lincoln Park Zoo, I catch
A lot of naps during the day.
For a lioness, sleep is natch
To while most of hours away.
...

An island frog, the humans say
How does such a residence be?
Salt water eats frog skin away.
No frog opts to go by sea.
...

Ima Ryma, all things, all time.
Ima Ryma, the good, the bad,
The ugly, the beauty in rhyme.
Sonnets - some happy and some sad,
...

Earthworm - I am humankind's friend.
Tickle me in my middle half,
Listen for sounds - that's my head end.
And at humans I often laugh.
...

Eurasian lynxes, sisters two,
Jillian and Mirka at home,
Hanging out at Lincoln Park Zoo,
South of the Lion House, we roam.
