Heidi Sands Poet Limerick

Old Birthday Blues Collaboration With Sandra Weiss

There was a lady with old birthday blues
              Another year passed, with gray hues
                     So she ran out on the beach
                      seeking a starfish to reach
                 ending up on a cruise in the news!

                 Sequel added by: Sandra Weiss
                
                     The lady with birthday blues
                who went off on the passing cruise
                            She fell off the boat
                            much too old to float
                       lost at sea, making the news!

                    Suddenly there was chaos at the sea
            from loss of poems when the muse chose to flee
                          The birthday lady is a poet
                               Many people know it
                     So, the cruise turned around quickly!

                          The old lady tried to write
                      a great poem that was just right
                            But, muse was not there     
                               with talent to share
                         So, she disappeared from sight!

                      All of a sudden there was a kaboom!
                    A tidal wave flooded her cruise bedroom
                           Poems flew all over the place
                         She surfaced with muse in place
                     Birthday wishes granted, no more gloom!

Jennifer Proxenos February 26, 2022 at 5:35 AM Grey hues do bring on the blues, but thank goodness a hairdresser is always nearby! Hope you are well my friend, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Heidi Sands February 26, 2022 at 9:04 AM Thank you Jennifer. All is well. I hope you are doing well too :)

Sara Kendrick February 26, 2022 at 3:12 AM I do wonder how it could end. I enjoyed reading this creative work with questions at the end. Like how old is she? Why a starfish? Or was it a real star she was seeking? Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara Heidi Sands February 26, 2022 at 3:45 AM Good questions Sara. Thank you for your input. I hope you have a nice day. You are welcome :)
