Lenny-Lee Fest




Today, many of us have joined together to spread sunshine throughout the blogosphere. But not just ANY sunshine. This sunshine is extra, super-dee-duper SPECIAL. This is Lenny Lee Sunshine, which is the very best kind!!


Sunshiney Guy
(for Lenny from Miss Shannon O.)


Outside's a gray and cloudy sky
the wind it howls, the rain does fly
but here online, we're safe and dry
because we have the "sunshine" guy

The sunshine guy? Who is he?
I gasp! I cough! It cannot be
that you don't know of LENNY LEE
the kid who's always sunshiney

Each place he goes, he shines so bright
that heavy hearts once more are light
and laughter echoes--echoes--our delight
each time we read the things he writes

When brush-offs leave you feeling blue
revision...plotting...queries, too
Here's good advice to pull you through:
Let Lenny's sunshine brighten you.












(buy stickers here)

 
If you want to meet and follow one of the best people in our blogging circle, go HERE and say hello to sweet, sunshiney LENNY!

We LOVE you, Lenny Lee!!

    This poem has a lovely rhythm. Excellent colors too. I'm sure it will make Lenny smile like I did.

    Lenny should put those buttons on his blog!
