Until I Go Blind
A limerick needn't end with just one verse
A whole new pattern could very well emerge
A story in fact
Four verses to be exact
It opens up a whole new poetic universe
So as of this day, I'm on this new kick
Don't want to wind up with limericks too slick
Just add a new twist
With a flick of the wrist
With more than one verse my mind goes adrift
A chance to expand to new ideas up ahead
Create whole stories where I once feared to tread
Little vignettes
As creative as it gets
Not bound by limitations but freedom instead
Who would have thunk it after all this time
A new and exciting format to challenge my mind
Exploring new vistas
Maybe get into mischief
Gonna write, write, write, until I go blind
