Notes About The Poem

humorous limmerick

The Loathsome Bard

He stands before us
to deliver
a poem, a prose, a
verse a rhyme, or message.

His manner quite
manifesting,
and his confidence
puts the crowd at
ease.

Soon and very soon,
too soon- we loath
him.
There is
too much cluster on
his magniloquent,
vine, of strung
together
words without
substance.

Though the use of
an, apophasis
gives poetic license
to insult.
we loathe him
instantly.

The silver-tongued
orator's
brilliance, soon
becomes wearisome.
While the mute
articulate points of
his eccentric
ramblings lead us
to dead ends.
Unfulfilled and
burdened.
We now loath him.

The loathsome Bard
goes on to rant
about, degrading
and dissolute issues
of life, which we
felt the
Bard had not
concern.

His bombast
delivery,
to some appears
eloquent,
grand-stand
language, bellowed
out quite grandiloquently
.
Wordy vagaries,
leading us nowhere.
As we listen to the
of his charades, we
loathe him.

Though quite colorful
and pompous; He leave
us in shambles, brains all
scrambled and we
loathe him.

The once brilliant
verse, though
well-rehearsed,
becomes wearisome.!

The Bard,
went not in hard;
We the discombobulated,
pray aloud, “next poet
please Lord".!

We all were relieved
as he finally did
leave, because he looked
better going than
coming.

With our intellect
he was toying,
though the Bard was not
hard!
Most certainly;
He was annoying!

poetry like art we need creative license. Poetry soup looks over greatness, because of comma's. In other words allow creativity without the demerits for punctuation.
