Lim'Rik Flats Poet Rhyme

Sinkholes

Been thinkin about them sinkholes
They seem to pop up everywhere
(or is it pop down?)
well, either way they scare

Brings to mind the ending times
some folks like to talk about,
claiming to be on the right side of,
boy, they like to shout!

Maybe the big guy is just practicing
maybe he’s just trying to find
the most dramatic way of all
to impress the “left behind”

Patricia Cresswell September 14, 2017 at 11:58 AM I think I might be one of those left behind. So what happens next?

Maurice Rigoler December 17, 2016 at 6:25 PM We have our shares of sinkholes too. In the spring some are so big you could take a day trip inside one and set up a concession stand for the others who fell into it! Thanks for the stop by. / M Lim'Rik Flats December 18, 2016 at 9:11 AM :-)

Old Buck December 13, 2016 at 1:15 PM John: I don't know your religious preference or if you have one, but this work contains more theology than you may have intended. Keep them coming and continue looking up. It will be sooner than many think. oldbuck Lim'Rik Flats December 14, 2016 at 9:23 AM Hi Old buck! Wow! You spent a buncha time at my house yesterday. Thanks for visiting my nonsense and leaving some very nice tracks. Keep yer grits soggy and your socks dry! Cheerios ~ john

Tammy Armstrong December 12, 2016 at 7:07 PM Well done, and I like works that are more about the mundane everyday and less existential or about love. So I absolutely love this :) Lim'Rik Flats December 13, 2016 at 8:55 AM Thanks for visiting Lim'rik Flats!

Cheryl Hoffman December 11, 2016 at 7:30 PM Lol, to impress the "left behind!" (Literally!) Funny one John!:) Must be a lot of underground caves in Florida, the sinkhole state! :) Lim'Rik Flats December 12, 2016 at 9:18 AM Is Florida really known as the "sinkhole state?" Quite a distinction. Glad you got some chucklers. huggamuggas ~ j

Jan Allison December 11, 2016 at 2:31 PM I hope I never witness one popping up or down John!:-) hugs jan xx Lim'Rik Flats December 12, 2016 at 9:15 AM Me too! huggarolies ~ j

Ilene Bauer December 11, 2016 at 2:27 PM love the way you started this one, john, and the ending didn't disappoint, either! Lim'Rik Flats December 12, 2016 at 9:14 AM This pleases me! You know, I just realized this little ditty is quite "ilene baueresque" — it's structure is very similar to one of your PO's. Wow, POsmosis! Lotsa latkes! ~ j
