Notes About The Poem

Image result for images of person slipping on a banana

Encouragement

I want to sleep, life in the cabana
But she wants to meet by the veranda
The meeting was set
Encouraged I get
Then I slip, from a rotten banana

Russell think of all the pity points you will make with her. Injured why rushing to her side.

Dang, I came back because I realized I had forgotten to read your poem after I answered a question of yours!! This is a really good limerick, Russell.

Yes, Russell. I very much like the kyrielle and quatern form, which is so similar to it. They are easy for me to use especially when working off a phrase to be repeated four times!
