Ok, don't count this as a comment, my friend. I'm just here to tell you, I don't think I can find one of yours I have not read already!!!

You're going to have to let go. Hard as I think, I'm not coming up with poems. Thanks for wanting more!

Do not worry about owing me either, Hannah!!! You give such nice detailed comment, that one of yours is worth two of many others'.

Listen, you don't owe me. We can't be one for one on comments, because I seldom write a poem. So when I compliment your poems, I'm often not self-motivated. Now I owe you two, for this new comment. Looking forward t reading more of your poems.

I'm so honored to get your attention on my limerick, and you know what I mean! I am getting a kick out of your EXTREME success. Obviously, by my poems, I'm not the emotional type, though I realize you fill a great need. You have a unique and special way of connecting.

I appreciate your appreciation, but hadn't directed you to it because it's a serious limerick, and you're acclimated to silly and witty ones. (My mother's afraid I'll get shot.) 'Stuck on Zero' is for laughs. And I laughed a lot at my own joke in "Petersen Potter, Dorian". Looking forward to your reaction.

It's a great honor to receive a compliment from a top-notch poet! After I run out of poems to write, I expect to continue to read your poems.

Surprised? Having no expectations, I guess not. What part would be surprising? Hmm... Anyway, great lim'rik form in my impoverished opinion ~ j

Just a sideways reference to my lack of credentials regarding "proper" poetry. In my opinion, this limerick has great form. The "poetry experts" might disagree, but I don't pay any attention to them or "rules." I have a rhyming brain and I like to smile so that's all I look for;-)

Forgot to ask, where does poverty come in?

What a laugh I just had. The surprise was ON ME!! I had no idea what you were talking about, until I found the line on top. I was oblivious that I ever put that there, and will take it down now.

Thanks. Limericks are easy. I struggled with some of them.
