Notes About The Poem

PSEUDO-LIMERICK... WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE ;-)

NON RHYMING and 9-9-4-4-9 SYLLABLES INSTEAD OF 9s and 5s

POETIC LICENCE LOL

Eyes of Madness

I’ve seen the evil eyes of madness
Psychotic and vicious as can be
I thought to run
I thought to hide
Fearing for my safety climbed a tree

I think this is genius, Line! It's the 'cat's meow.' (Wink, wink). A FAVE! ~ Gershon

LOL thank you so much, Gershon, for the wonderful compliment.

Unique Limerick but, it works well; such eyes...bone chilling.

A great limerick but hope I never see eyes of madness , no wonder you climbed up a tree! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

O Jennifer - you must know me well... I just had to go do it immediately. Thanks for the nudge.

February 13, 2019 at 1:24 PM

Thanks, Jennifer. It is very limerick sounding. I'll probably tweak it someday to have the right number of syllables.
