Eve Roper Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Valentine Roses

I found roses when I open the door. 
Caught my toe on the carpet on the floor. 
Did he think this was unwise? 
With a loud thump, crash, and cries
Embarrassed sprawled out on the ground, I swore.

Malabika Ray Choudhury February 8, 2022 at 10:21 AM Such a great Limerick, Eve! Enjoyed the humour, and the lovely (clumsy - ha ha!) gesture. Hugs ~ Mala Eve Roper February 8, 2022 at 11:03 AM Thank you, Malabika.

Joseph P. DiMino February 8, 2022 at 8:08 AM The thought or the pain? Ah, 'tis quite a dilemma. Be forgiving. We guys always screw it up -- just our clumsy nature. What about the other occasion, when the live bee awoke from sleeping in a blossom, when you put them in a vase and took that first, stinging sniff? Jezz! Love it! Joe. Eve Roper February 8, 2022 at 8:32 AM Hahahaha,, never thought of that, but you are right.. Every so often I will find a bug of some sort blossom out. :) Thank you Joe for reading
