Unspeakable Love

Just what is unspeakable love?
Is it love sent from heaven above?
With its prefix of “un,”
is this love then just one
I’m simply not able to speak OF? 


For Adeleke Adeite's Contest:
Unspeakable Love (Limerick)

Fantastic Limerick Andrea! I'm sure it will place well in the contest! As per your question on "Fears I Can't Quell" I was just being hypothetical, I'm happily married but still I always have these fears, lurking in the back of my mind! Love, Tirzah

You managed to take a serious theme and make us laugh. Good work, Andrea.

I really didn't see a way to take this theme and make a funny limerick. The alliteration I tried turned to jibberish. I like your limerick better than mine because it does have humor.

Very clever take on the contest theme, Andrea! I know Adeleke wanted us to tantalize her with passion, but I could not write in that style. I really like the approach you took here and wish you success! Love, Carolyn

I would imagine that everyone has "just one." (just in case my wife is auditing -) I, of course, don't have "just one," so I won't speak of her...that is....mmmm. Oh, damn! You have opened up a can of unspeakable things here. Love it. Love, Dave

You have given a new twist and sweet turn to 'unspeakable love'. Great write with so much deeper thoughts expressed so wittingly in the limerick. It is definitely a superb offbeat and a beautiful one. My good wishes for your contest entry. Hope you would like the second part of ' When the Earth was in danger'. Love and best wishes always...Ravindra…Andrea Dietrich
