Bill, love this bird limerick. I tried writing limericks, but don't have the patience for it. All the best. ~

There not easy for me like writing rhymes or sonnets, I have to work at getting my thoughts short enough for a limerick. Thanks for looking back at previous poems I've written, I wrote a lot in 2022. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

Good Morning Bill. Hi. I know limericks have humor play and wit. However, I find and see so much beauty within your moment in time and entry. Rest easy Bill because that is a wonderful thing and the credit belongs to you for that element. Thank you as always for sharing your skilled poetic talent with us. Blessings and Peace now and always to you and Sara. (smile)

Hi Bill, Your imagination soared in this well-written Limerick. I would have thrown a “ talking” ring as far as I could throw it. But then I would have missed the big surprise:-) Alexis
