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.
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?).
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'??
You won't - I invented it.
And today's new word is...….!
Plonkerdiddle - now looking for a meaning - any ideas?
Sounds swoony to me... lol.
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.
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.
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!
Thanks Angela - the dropped 'E' hoisted into position - look forward to seeing your edelects - they can be fun.
