Daniel Turner Poet Limerick

A Promise I Can'T Keep

The sun was setting with a breeze
Seductively sliding behind the trees
Watching his descent
Was quite the event
I witnessed a day to night striptease

He left me with the biggest grin
I must admit with some chagrin
Watching as he changed 
Glances were exchanged
I didn't mean to embarrass him

I just kept looking straight ahead
The entire horizon turned bright red
Tomorrow at sunrise
I'll apologize
Promising next time to turn my head

           Daniel Turner

Brandy Nicole April 23, 2023 at 5:25 PM Even though I know this was about the sun giving you a striptease, I'm turning bright red. (I'm smiling and blushing, all at the same time). Such a fun limerick. A bit naughty, but hey, it's written in a tasteful way. I love everything about this. My best to you, Daniel. :) Hugs, Brandy Daniel Turner April 23, 2023 at 5:29 PM Thank you, Brandy. LOL I tried to keep it clean. Limericks are usually a bit bawdy.
