LIMERICK 89

Michael Edwards

 

 

 

The time had come to issue a correction

for assumptions drawn were all misconception

so she told those present

‘I’m truly not pregnant’

 A statement conceived without contraception’.

        Ah, the story of many a poor innocent human thrust into a dysfunctional world without any choice in the matter.
        Limerick away, Michael - all manner of truths may surface in a few succinct lines.....😊

        • Michael Edwards

          Truth will always float to the surface - gives me an idea for something more serious. Might post it tomorrow if it's written by then - cheers DD

          what symmetry with your artwork and words, dear Poet
          'I might be the only one
          but in your art
          I can make out, half
          of a soaring bird, wings stretched gracefully
          and the other half, burdened with
          a high peak, grounded mountain obstacle..
          resonating, with those moments
          of life
          where opportunity greets
          inside
          the doors to our caged existences...'
          (lol
          reading back my words, I sound so absurdly pretentious
          but I'll keep this, maybe
          there's something here beyond my comprehension)
          such a great write!

          • Michael Edwards

            Pretentious never - yes I can see the Japanesque mountain - not intended but it's sure there.

          • dusk arising

              Michael,

              A super limerick and artwork…both intricate and artfully constructed. You are the master, dear Maestro.☺️


              Hope Jeanne is doing well and heard what was hoped by all…including me.🙏🏻❤️

              Laura🌻
