Debra Squyres Poet Limerick

Poet Petals

Once chance did happen-by my dwelling
Found within it some thoughts distilling
Sat a spell
Listened well
Savoring a few it found compelling

Chance seems never to stay around long
It’s always been a mere tag-a-long
Ideas smitten
Went unwritten
More petals in the winds of poets’ song

Robert Johnson January 30, 2013 at 4:11 PM Hi Debra, Just one of those spells I guess. I hope I get back on the train soon. Thanks for friendship. :) May the clouds hang up above a little longer. Till the memory becomes a little stronger. :)

Elizabeth Wesley January 29, 2013 at 5:44 PM So nice to know theree are others who have to "get it down" before it disappears. It happens all the time doesn't it Deb and so frustrating especially when my mind works at night and I|'m too lazy to turn on the light. Well, you have company! Love, Elizabeth

Robert Johnson January 24, 2013 at 1:56 PM Drifting phrases of passion and pain. Dance on the petals in the soft morning rain. Casting spells of silken gray. Lost on the vine at the break of day. Hello Debra. :) Good luck if for a contest. Hoping you end up with a huge boquet. :)

Charles Henderson January 23, 2013 at 11:06 PM I hate to be on the lawn mower and a poem really hit me hard. I know it's nuts, but I've started carrying a pad and pen every where I go. I mean everywhere. Because, life is where you find the poetry. Wrote you an answer in your footle blog. Brian Strand has the last word. He is the person who invented the footle. Debra Squyres January 24, 2013 at 7:10 AM Thank you, Charles

Carrie Richards January 23, 2013 at 5:00 PM What a lovely little limerick, that I could indentify with...so many unwritten petals in the wind! :)

Andrea Dietrich January 23, 2013 at 4:26 PM a very interesting way to do petals in the wind, Debra! It could also serve in the contest on poetry about poetry!!
