Notes About The Poem

2nd January 2024

My Legacy

Poetry to me is my legacy 
Poems I write to live on endlessly 
So like it or lump it
I’ll blow my own trumpet 
And leave them to historic supremacy.

Oh i agree with you, - I will still blow my trumpet, so what we have decided is that the 2nd one left alive will leave all my poems to our grand-daughter. Belle, a very heartfelt Limerick. Hugs and Blessings, Jennifer.

Thanks for sharing this. God bless you. Meanwhile, I greet you with a Joyous New Year with this prayer from the Bible in Numbers 6:24-26, "The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace."

Oh wow, this is so true and resonating.. We infuse our emotions in what we write, just to express ourselves and in a way that reflects our soul.. In fact, I consider my poems as a part of my soul.. It's not necessary for everyone to like it, but poetry immortalises us poets, beyond time.. So beautifully written with a funny texture, dear Belle. I absolutely enjoyed reading this.. haha..Sending you many good wishes for the New Year.. Love & light :)

Poetry is an amazing tool by which each of us can leave a lasting impression on the world. The rhythm of this limerick is superb. Your work is excellent. Belle

Nicely done and power to your pen, Beryl.. we all should leave a legacy behind and poetry is a great way to do that.. this flows really well and is a great limerick.. All the best for 2024... I use this site as an anthology, for when I die, people can look back at what I wrote.. maybe then they may understand..

Beryl Edmonds

Thank you Silent One, it is hoped that our poetry lives on after we’re gone. I wish you all the best for 2024 too… Belle
