Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Poet Couplet

History With Humor

History With Humor

Clerihew might follow you.
And bring names fame without adieu.
Whether views from ancient times
Or in the news as modern lines
Famous people must beware.
Paparazzi roam everywhere.
Private lives are set on hold.
When fame has molded lives of gold.
Clerihew poets write words down.
Famous people in humor are found.
Unfolding historical laughter.
And snickers happily ever after.

Poetic form: Couplets
 
Inspired to help myself remember the various short poems forms.
Personal Goal:  Write 20 short poems per day.  Practice, practice, practice...
