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
