Notes About The Poem

This reworked pair of limericks dates back several years. Some may not have seen these and the time seems right to think about what we love. This pair definitely describes thrills of our short existence. Which one could bring greater pleasure? 

a valentine's reprise

Like heaters with thousands of watts
Hot passion burns hearts into knots
Instead of this norm
To find love that’s warm
Form relations with chocolàtes

A honeyed and candied sweet taste
Entwined under lingerie laced
As valentine treat
Is the finest eat
Lucky tongues have ever embraced

Sotto Poet Date: 2/20/2025 11:10:00 AM Dear Duke, Your superb limerick poem delves into the delights of love and intimacy, contrasting romantic relationships with the enjoyment of sweet sweets, notably chocolates and candies. It emphasizes the excitement and pleasure of physical and emotional interactions in life, particularly in a romantic setting. You use colorful and sensual language to convey sentiments of comfort, intimacy, and indulgence. Words like "hot passion," "heaters," "honeyed," and "candied" provide rich, vivid imagery that appeals to the senses, allowing the reader to envision and feel the feelings portrayed.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 2/15/2025 4:07:00 PM Nice to see you doing a limerick non political. A sexy and sweet one. I actually ate chocolate yesterday. A lot of it! Login to Reply Andrea Dietrich Date: 2/18/2025 1:02:00 PM Yes, there is nothing like GOOD chocolate. I just hate the cheap brands people get me like from Walmart. Duke Beaufort Date: 2/16/2025 3:47:00 PM Andrea, good for you! Chocolate is amazing! I decided to take a very short break just for fun!!! Later!!

I Am Anaya Date: 2/13/2025 9:14:00 AM I haven't seen this delicious pair of limericks dear, Duke. Such a delightful treat it is! Yummiest, like Londor truffles, you've ruffled my heart with sweetness. Wishing you Love & happiness, on Valentines Day ~Anaya Login to Reply I Am Anaya Date: 2/16/2025 11:17:00 AM HEy, I skimmed thru your comments, we used to go to the North Hollywood Library and watch movies such as "Marty" we met Earnest Borgnine before the pandemic, not sure if he is with us any longer. 94 yrs. what a blessing. Duke Beaufort Date: 2/15/2025 1:03:00 PM Anaya, I am so glad to supply some cheer. I hope you and everyone here has a heart filled with joy for now and in the days to come. That is something we can discover within ourselves and hold on to!!

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 2/11/2025 4:23:00 AM Hello Duke, How playful, rich, and indulgent, just like a decadent bite of love itself. I love the way passion and sweetness intertwine here. It makes for a deliciously clever and delightful read. A true Valentine’s treat wrapped in rhyme. Thanks for bringing it back! Winter Blessings, My Friend, Daniel Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 2/15/2025 12:20:00 PM Hi Daniel, yes sometimes just taking time for a bit of fun is a good thing. I had been thinking about what's happening in our world, and decided it would be fun to take a short break! Blessings to you as well. I know you are having a great life and thinking about that makes me very happy.

Ink Empress Date: 2/10/2025 11:13:00 PM Dear duke, after reading this and seeing the picture you’ve used, i just had some chocolates haha. Im trying not to eat chocolates too much now but this limerick did sell chocolates to me! I loved reading you write on a subject that is different to your usual ones, and one that is so very fitting for the mood right now too! Valentines day right around the corner! How stunning and exquisite are your rhymes and flow of words too . What are your plans for valentines day! Wish you a wonderful one. Pleasure reading you today. Sending you light always Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 2/15/2025 9:38:00 AM Hi IE, we went to see a film at the library this past evening. The film entitled "Touch" was a story about a past romance across cultures and tying up loose ends. Definitely an intriguing plot which revealed different behaviors and how rare true love is. As far as chocolates, I know what you mean. I like dark chocolate, but I can't have too much as it gives me a rapid heart beat--sensitivity to caffeine and similar compounds. You're very kind to complement my poetry and all I can do is send smiles and read some of yours in return!

Hiya Sharma Date: 2/10/2025 7:46:00 PM This is such a passionate pair of limericks, with each line portraying a velveteen glare of flavours and romantic aromas! How smooth and beautiful! Layered with sensual tones yet so eloquent in a very poetic manner, and of course how can one not crave for chocolates after reading this, haha. Perfect for the Valentine theme!! Sending you best wishes and light always, dear Duke ~ keep writing these amazing and delightful limericks!! Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 2/14/2025 2:36:00 PM Hiya, what a pleasure to hear from you. I have to check out some of your work. Valentines Day is fun and I hope yours is filled with pleasure! Smiles!!!

David Fisher Date: 2/10/2025 5:15:00 PM Enjoyed this excellently written limerick, Duke. Each line is as smooth and fitting as the subject. Will my wife be more satisfied with a low-calorie limerick(yours) than a box of chocolates? Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 2/14/2025 12:49:00 PM Hi David, I would definitely try the chocolates first! Words are so fleeting and the taste of chocolate can last a few minutes or more. You're very kind so whatever you try will work wonders! Smiles!!

Beryl Edmonds Date: 2/10/2025 4:26:00 PM A box of chocs and lingerie laced, how soon can one fix the wedding date? Love the Lims Duke… Beryl Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 2/14/2025 11:40:00 AM Thanks Beryl! This romance can continue even after marriage if one is lucky and has the desire to focus on what's important! Smiles!

Lin Lane Date: 2/10/2025 12:14:00 PM Well, Duke. If your words were not enticing enough, the silk and lace lingerie would make your chocolate treats irresistible. Wondering what flavor their centers might hold. Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 2/14/2025 6:56:00 AM Lin, yes that would be the question. I'm hoping you have a great Valentines Day and can enjoy every day after as well.
