Paul Callus Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Robin Hood

An archer from Sherwood made shooting an art
Persuaded the wealthy from surplus to part.
He fell for a maid at first sight
But fearing to tell her outright
Enlisted friend Eros to capture her heart.

Jennifer Proxenos February 2, 2019 at 12:18 PM A wonderful limerick Paul and Robin Hood has always been a fav. with me. Very clever that the god Eros conspired with Robin Hood to capture Maid Marianne's heart! Poetry hugs, Jennifer. Paul Callus February 2, 2019 at 2:00 PM Thank you, Jenny. Most children get acquainted with Robin Hood at an early age in primary school. He still captures our imagination even when we grow up. Warm regards & Hugs // paul
