Paulette Calasibetta Poet Limerick

What Comes In Dreams

There was a WoodenMan of old,
                      Who possessed great knowledge I’m told,
                              Was offered a handsome sum
                                    To keep him mum,
                             But alas, he couldn’t be sold!

                While on tour in Australia, he happened upon
                                    A glorious sight!
                     A rare beauty of pure silky wood oak
                      A bit of mischief in her eyes as she
                                    Held his glance,
                                   The page turns…

                        He met a fine lass down under
                         Whose brain quite scorched
                                Him with wonder
                         With beauty that glowed
                         From a heart pure as gold
                         No man could put asunder!

Robert Gorelick March 4, 2022 at 12:10 PM Loved your pure silky imagery and very apt ending. Robert James Marshall Goff March 5, 2022 at 2:22 AM Hi Robert, reference comes from lefty boomerang I own made by USA Atomic Scientist Dr Lorin Hawes (rip) who moved to Australia after WW2 to make 'rangs, this beauty is made of silky oak, gorgeous! Paulette Calasibetta March 4, 2022 at 1:31 PM It was quite a fun experiment. Jim had written a story about a dream of a WoodenMan. I enjoyed it and decided we should do something fun with it and he agreed. Hence our collective poetry. Thanks for stopping by. :)Paulette
