Jenish Somadas Poet Limerick

The Messenger of Time

When my heart started ticking in rhyme,
And the three arms ran around and chime,
I ran faster and fast,
Then got slower at last,
And now not good enough for a dime.

Shirley Hawkins February 19, 2020 at 1:37 AM You may have taken time To pen this clever interesting rhyme This poem is far too slick Is it really your first limerick Or have you tricked me this time.......Shirley Jenish Somadas February 19, 2020 at 3:08 AM I didn't took much time to compose this.. Sometimes it is like that.. flow of words will come in ease.. But some other time, like a traffic block, not even a word come forward.. It is my first Limerick.. And not even brave to try another.. The rhythm is difficult to tackle.. so I quit.. Tanka is safe.. lol..
