Terry Flood Poet Limerick

This Young Poet

[Dedicated to the blocked Brits: Tom, Gary and
myself. May the mist soon clear for us all]

*

I’m just a young poet from Blighty
l find I can no longer writey
Again and again
I’ve tried, but in vain
And so I prayed to the almighty

And then I heard bells being rung
And then there were songs being sung
The Lord came that night
And said you shall write
But stop making out that you’re young

Gershon Wolf April 29, 2023 at 8:25 PM ha, ha! Stop it, would you, you early-middle-aged denier, you! lol. Terry Flood April 30, 2023 at 11:14 AM I deny everything, your honour. ;-)

Paula Goldsmith April 25, 2023 at 8:57 AM "This Young Poet" is a fun Limerick write. No more being blocked for you. You are off and running writing away. Have a great/blessed day.................. Terry Flood April 25, 2023 at 2:47 PM Thank you, Paula. I enjoy mocking my numerous years because it simply won’t gel in my head that I’m getting on a bit. Terry

Linda Alice Fowler April 21, 2023 at 7:04 AM Another fun one Terry. I'm glad to have you back and with your wit in tact. :) Terry Flood April 25, 2023 at 2:49 PM Glad you enjoyed, Linda. I wondered if ‘writey’ would work… seems I got away with it ;-)

Daniel Turner April 14, 2023 at 7:10 PM Really no sense in arguing with the Lord. It's one you can't win. Look at the bright side, 25's not so bad. LOL Terry Flood April 19, 2023 at 12:15 PM Thanks, Daniel. Alas, I’ve been 25 twice already… think I’d better stop counting
