Limerick-3: Where Was Bri? Poem by Khairul Ahsan

Limerick-3: Where Was Bri?

Rating: 5.0


There was once a poet in PoemHunter,
Wary of Covid, he lay in a bunker!
He called himself Bri,
Wrote witty poetry,
But Covid made him go into a slumber!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Poet Brian Edwards aka Bri, a popular poet of PoemHunter known for his wits, disappeared from the site for almost five months. There were many speculations as to what might have happened to him and many poets wrote poetry and made queries about him in his page. Breaking long silence, he reappeared merrily to the site on the 9th of August,2020. Here is my speculation about where he might have been!

The truth about Bri? He may not as oft read and work on PH as he wished to do by his life-friend (partner) . An excellent Limerick is presented here, not by Bri, but by Khairul Sir! I have enjoyed very much this amusing Limerick, a 10+++!

Thanks, @Bharati for reading this poem and leaving a kind comment. Many thanks for drawing my attention to Kim Barney's poem that throws a riddle to the readers to discover the poet, that's me!

Khairul, This is NOT the first time someone has thought 'Bri' rhymes with 'free'. Actually, it is short for 'Brian', my real first name, and rhymes with 'bye' or 'bow tie' ! ! ! ! Was I totally absent so long? Maybe. bri ;)

Thanks, Brian, for reapperaing here after a long gap, which made many of your friends 'sorely miss' you (like poetess Valsa George) . I always love your humour which you so generously and astutely deliver.

I thought for sure Bri was gone. I even posted a poem about it. I think it was called Rest in Peace, Bri Edwards. It was great when he came back!

Thank you, @Kim Barney, for sharing your thoughts here. Glad to see Brian back and wish both of you good luck and good days ahead. Also, thanks for writing a poem taking some lines and titles from mine, and throwing a riddle to the readers.

Sometimes we are so much frustrated that we do not remain a poet. I, too, remained missing from, now calm and patient and back to PH once again.
