EDELECTS BY THREE

Michael Edwards

 

 

EDELECTS BY THREE

 

 

Books unread

Words unsaid

Decisions disengaged.

 

 

Tears shed

Words said

Hearts heal.

 

 

Nose streaming

Breath steaming

White winter.

 

 

 

I developed this form a while back (see previous postings) more as a filler

when I only have a few moments to fill – having said that they are not

always as simple as they look.

 

3 lines with two words per line
First two lines consist of noun followed by verb
In the third line both words start with same letter
Rhyme pattern: aab

    Three god ones Michael.

    I have not mentioned your sculptures, I think they are wonderful and lift my days.

    • Michael Edwards

      Thanks Andy - they are great fun pieces but getting near the end of them now unless I make some more

      A fine set of writes and pic Michael. In the first one - you read those books yet? you said those words yet?
      You speak with forked tongue, or correct number of syllables? Miss Berles will check them.
      Do shut up Orchi, you're rambling!(how many miles is your ramble?).

      • Michael Edwards

        A ramble through the bramble
        can be quite a gamble
        Take it slowly at an amble
        never ever quickly scramble
        and should you ever tumble
        it's a hell to disentangle.

          You rambling there too?! Google search can't find 'edelct'??

        • dusk arising

          There was a young man from Bengal
          who had a hexagonal ball
          its volume times weight
          divided by eight
          was twice the square root of f..k all

          I'm sticking to what i know.

            Actually many of the limericks I've seen here fall short by failing, whether consciously or subconsciously, to recognise meter and syllable count - no such problems with yours and this is top notch.

            • dusk arising

              Mostly the limericks i use are mine but this is not an original. Previously i have commented about formulae in poetry which brought to mind this mathematical joy first told to me by a chap who had an impressive collection of limericks.

            • BRIAN & ANGELA

              GOOD MORNING UNCLE MIKE : ANGELA here its 8:30 pm in NZ! Brian is earning a crust to buy us a HOUSE in the UK (or NZ) so I thought I had better respond : Im working on EDELECTS. Love you trio on : Tomes Tears Temperature! Have a nice WEEKEND : Love ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡 Love your HARBOUR SCENES you would be inspired by AUCKLAND! You have dropped not an H but an E in your title : A!

              • Michael Edwards

                Thanks Angela - the dropped 'E' hoisted into position - look forward to seeing your edelects - they can be fun.

                  Very creative. And as always, the first to post.
                  Poem read
                  rules learned
                  wonderful work

                  • Michael Edwards

                    Thanks m&m - welcome to the Edelect club.
