Not A Formal Limerick

Rating: 5.0


Accidentally on the run with a desperate queen
We visited a ruined shrine
Where a Goddess of forbidden love
Who lives there in a knee deep pond?
After the knelt; it's like a death knell
We heard and she whispered a rhapsody.
'The heroine must stay outside tonight
It's an order by the caretaker.
The hero should stay inside and it's a must.
Sorry my dear prince
Those are not roses a comfortable bed of venomous snakes'.

A poem that has the surreal quality of a dream. A recurring theme in your poetry of the dominance of the haves over those who have not. Fascinating as always, Nimal. Sincerely, Sandra

Okay my friend, weird title; but weird is good. This is lovely and not a little bit funny. I like this idea of the goddes taking the young betrothed, because she can. it is like the old feudal rights of the land owner to having the first.. well you know what I mean. A wonderful piece. Narrated in the manner that only you can do.
