My example poem for the contest I'm running.

My name is Charles Francis Messina 
I can dance - but I'm no - ballerina 
My toes are too small - and I'd tumble and fall 
Then you'd giggle - like a laughing - hyena 


Example: For my contest

Hello Charles … nicely written. Actually I'm like a fairy elephant when I dance, and that's only if someone spiked my drink - eg: a barman with alcohol - thanks Charles - Lindsay

I love the way you have taught us to remember how to pronounce messina. A cute missive for sure, Charles!

You might not be a ballerina, but your graceful charm makes up for it.. :)) Awesome animated imagery with excellent rhythm makes for a smooth giggle-liscious limerick, Charlie. Warmest wishes always my friend.. ~Susan
