In A World Of Poetry
Loved to write as far back as memory goes
Without any thought for a verse to compose
Poetic expressions of innate creativity
So admire the effect and it's sensitivity
Words dive straight to heart like an arrow
Flying through sky piercing at point narrow
Each word so concise of fit and precise
Limerick
There was an old bugger called God,
who got a young virgin in pod.
This disgraceful behaviour
begot Christ our Saviour,
who was nailed to a cross, poor old sod.
Limerick: There Was A Young Lady Of Dorking,
There was a Young Lady of Dorking,
Who bought a large bonnet for walking;
But its colour and size,
So bedazzled her eyes,
That she very soon went back to Dorking.
Addicted
Oh sure...
It started innocently enough
In the beginning
It was a verse here
A sonnet there
The occasional limerick
But before long...
She was hooked!
Limerick - How Strange!
What's the name of your car, asked Michael
Forgot the name, it starts with ‘T', said Nichole
"What a strange car
Never heard of it so far.
Your car starts with Tea, all others, with petrol"!
Limerick: There Was An Old Man Of Peru
There was an Old Man of Peru,
Who never knew what he should do;
So he tore off his hair,
And behaved like a bear,
That intrinsic Old Man of Peru.
Salut Au Monde
O TAKE my hand, Walt Whitman!
Such gliding wonders! such sights and sounds!
Such join'd unended links, each hook'd to the next!
Each answering all--each sharing the earth with all.
What widens within you, Walt Whitman?
What waves and soils exuding?
What climes? what persons and lands are here?
Who are the infants? some playing, some slumbering?
The Art Of Writing Limericks
A limerick can be rather funny
when the syllables are on the money.
But when none of it fits
it can give you the shits
Would you stop writing limericks, sonny?
Limerick: There Was A Young Lady Of Norway,
There was a Young Lady of Norway,
Who casually sat on a doorway;
When the door squeezed her flat,
She exclaimed, 'What of that?'
This courageous Young Lady of Norway.
Limerick: There Was A Young Lady In White
There was a Young Lady in White,
Who looked out at the depths of the Night;
But the birds of the air
Filled her heart with despair,
And oppressed that Young Lady in White.
Limerick: The Was A Young Lady Of Bute
The was a Young Lady of Bute,
Who played on a silver-gilt flute;
She played several jigs,
To her uncle's white pigs,
That amusing Young Lady of Bute.
Limerick: There Was A Young Lady Of Hull
There was a Young Lady of Hull,
Who was chased by a virulent bull;
But she seized on a spade,
And called out, 'Who's afraid?'
Which distracted that virulent bull.
Limerick: There Was A Young Lady Whose Chin
There was a Young Lady whose chin,
Resembled the point of a pin;
So she had it made sharp,
And purchased a harp,
And played several tunes with her chin.
Limerick - 31 - Fall
Once Michel threw Liza a ball
It hit her torso she did call
Wow, ‘Do you mean me doll? '
He laughed at and said ‘a mall'
Soon a ball hit him and made him fall.
Limerick - Laughter
To be able to laugh is a great boon
All worries it will melt down soon
It is nice to practise that art
Sure it will give life a kick start
If you can,watch the antics of a buffoon
Limerick: There Was A Young Lady Of Niger
There was a young lady of Niger
Who smiled as she rode on a tiger;
They returned from the ride
With the lady inside,
And the smile on the face of the tiger.
Poet Dr.M.Asim Nehal - A Tribute
Just like the haiku ‘ The cosmic union'
Where the sky bows down to kiss the earth,
Here is an adorable poet -
Dr. M. Asim Nehal
Who bows down to touch
The hearts of Poets of Poem Hunter
With his exquisite poems,
With his mystic philosophy,
With his romantic ghazals, and
With his friendly, affable nature.
Limerick: There Was An Old Man In A Boat
There was an Old Man in a boat,
Who said, 'I'm afloat! I'm afloat!'
When they said, 'No! you aint!'
He was ready to faint,
That unhappy Old Man in a boat.
Limerick- Caught Red Handed
In a village, there lived a known thief
Who was very fond of eating fried beef
Ate it for breakfast n' lunch
For dinner and for brunch
Men at last caught him while stealing their calf
Limerick: There Was A Young Lady Whose Nose
There was a Young Lady whose nose,
Was so long that it reached to her toes;
So she hired an Old Lady,
Whose conduct was steady,
To carry that wonderful nose.
