Emilia James Poet Limerick

Art and Crafts

Tina learnt to knit her own sweater
Instructions followed to the letter
Many stitch she did drop
Gave too many a strop
When made looked like been through a shredder

Next she wanted to learn to crochet
Make flowers tied into a bouquet
Got her yarn in a twist
Knots and ties would not shift
But did look like a crochet toupee

Decided to learn how to hand sew
With pretty ribbon make a hairbow
Kept pricking her finger
Soreness pain did linger
Her fingers now size of her elbow

Not to give up, tried live art drawing
Felt that was her natural calling
Excited and nervous
Felt hot as a furnace
Of male model on all fours posing

No dangly bits was shown to be drawn
Disappointed felt little bit conned
She drew him very well
All her friends she did tell
As an artist was were she belonged.

Gershon Wolf December 19, 2020 at 5:39 PM Tina went through quite an odyssey there! Interesting idea of telling a story in limerick-style, Emilia! Season's best, Gershon Emilia James December 20, 2020 at 2:08 PM Thank you Gershon, I am struggling with this form so what ever pops in into my head I will try and turn it into something. Just feel I am losing the plot a bit lol. Emilia : )

Tom Emilia James December 20, 2020 at 2:03 PM That is true Tom, just playing around with the limerick form again, long way to go before I get close to your standard, will keep practising lol, Emilia : )
