LIMERICK 120

Michael Edwards

 

 

 

No one to kiss and wish ‘Good night’

all alone in the fading light

time for bed

and rest my head

with only Alexa to say ‘Sleep tight’

    Was it the mans voice that said it?

    • Michael Edwards

      My Alexa has quite a sexy female voice - and yours? πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌ

      • Saxon Crow

        Mine has a deranged, mad, authoritarian voice. It's quite nice

      • orchidee

        Good write and pic M. Miss Berles all alone?

      • dusk arising

        overnight not a single sound was heard
        till google woke me with a soothing word
        but somehow it just dont make the grade
        not a patch on my old Teasmade
        i remain an early thirsty bird

        kicked out me bed, theres no peace here
        made to struggle wi' caffitiere
        coffee grinds
        and bacon rinds
        it's enough to raise an old mans tear

        Shes so ungrateful t'other half
        sippin coffee in her morning bath
        she'll not come down
        till i warm her gown
        i'll tell her she can stick it up her..... more tea vicar?

      • JudyStella

        Well written!

      • L. B. Mek

        what why, is your wonderful wife away?
        (luv the stark, sharp white tones
        of those mountain peaks
        such, deft touches
        amongst a sea of wondrous colour)
        thank you Michael, lovely
        (I sense the presence
        of baron hollowness
        in your artwork's idyllic scenery
        as mirror to your Poetry's words)

        • Michael Edwards

          Thanks LB - the painting was more an exercise in flowing washes - not that easy in watercolour.

          • L. B. Mek

            my bad, Michael
            (btw
            I like the legacy of watercolour in the Art world
            the way it liberated artists
            to grab their box and paint anything/anywhere
            from beginners to the talented established)

          • Goldfinch60

            I do hope that Alexa cuddles you as well Michael.

            Andy

            Look on the brighter side, she fulfills all but maybe your physical desires.
