John Read Poet Limerick

Trapeze

A young man on the flying trapeze
Used to fly through the air with ease
Then something went snap
He thought what the crap
Now in heaven he swings through the trees.

Beryl Edmonds February 22, 2022 at 11:28 AM Good Limerick John, here’s mine in response to yours and Jeff’s… The trapeze artist swings all day long - Wearing nothing but a tiny thong - Angels look on aghast - But that’s only an act - Those angel eyes see he’s doing no wrong. John Read February 22, 2022 at 11:53 AM Hi Sister Beryl, come and join in on the poetry forum Collaboration.

Andrea Dietrich February 18, 2022 at 9:55 PM I really like this one. And also to imagine there are really awesome trees in heaven John Read February 18, 2022 at 11:39 PM Thank you Andrea, maybe one day we'll find out if we're good.

Jeff Kyser February 17, 2022 at 11:16 AM In heaven, some things just can't wait // A trapeze act, testing the fates // Lets go the trapeze // Takes a flight through the trees // Gets impaled on the Pearly Gates :-) Jeff Kyser February 18, 2022 at 4:41 AM It would be sort of fun to tell a story this way, wouldn't it? One person starts, the next person adds a verse, and so on. No telling where things would end up! John Read February 18, 2022 at 1:02 AM Wow Jeff,I wish I'd have thought of that.
