After coloring my head with dye
I leave my damp hair open to dry
Thus my age, I conceal.
Careful not to reveal,
On my dry lips, some gloss, I apply.
Loved the last sentence of poetess Geeta Radhakrishna Menon's comment: The original face is innocent and beautiful.... :)
A good limerick that earned full marks from me,5 stars. The poem and the picture makes a good combination and complements each other. You have carefully chosen the topic(s) of the poem. Loved the first one, 'aggression'.
age is hidden under the dying color though we try to disguise thru lying feature lie is ephemeral form where truth- eternal by born time, space, and the frisky mind stay in life's care
Wow, I love this poem. Excellently crafted with cleverness and humor, the way a limerick should be written. Five Stars! ! ! To my Poem List. Just want to add....amazing graphic..so apt for this marvelous poetic gem.
Re your poem 'Limerick. - Face Lift': - I'm pretty sure i left a comment here yesterday which i don't see, saying i'll use this in an upcoming showcase. I also see a comment from me from last year. bri : )
Ma'am your image is just magnificent. I fall for thst. Your limerick is awesome.
Why, Valsa, I'll bet YOUR natural beauty needs NO enhancing! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! : ) I'll send this to my upcoming (2nd) Aug. showcase. ;) bri
The rhythm in this limerick is perfect, Valsa. The content reminds me of two of humorous poems, one titled “My Sixty-Eight-Year-Old Self in the Mirror.” -Glen
And, in THIS photo, you've captured my sister, bless her heart. Overall, i enjoyed the poem, but....i COULD make some 'minor' suggestions, for which i'd only charge you my friendly rate of 369.229 rupees per suggestion. bri ;)
