Alesia Leach Poet Limerick

My Mind is Out of Order

my mind is a jumbled-up mess,
it thinks it’s a game of chess,
with pawns in a line,
and knights in a bind,
it’s chaos, but i must confess.

it ponders like cats in the night,
chasing things just out of sight,
with dreams in a chase,
and thoughts all misplaced,
it’s nonsense, but it feels just right.

so if you catch me in a tangle,
as my scattered thoughts wrangle and mangle,
just laugh with delight,
and join in the flight,
where logic and silliness dangle.

Hilda Greenhough January 21, 2025 at 8:26 PM At times, the brain goes on vacstion. Silliness is a great stress reliever. This is an enjoyable limerick.

David Fisher January 13, 2025 at 5:19 PM Nice string of limericks that follow the title perfectly. And each one is so separate from the others, though with similar meanings nonetheless.
