Ilene Bauer Poet Limerick

Words From the Weary

When writing a poem every day,
You shouldn’t let time slip away.
	For what is required
	Gets lost when you’re tired
And thoughts tend to wander and stray.

Yet hours at times disappear
When events and constraints interfere.
	So you dash off some lines
	Hoping when the sun shines
They won’t sound quite as bad as you fear!

Keith Bickerstaffe May 1, 2013 at 7:46 PM Very clever Ilene! I've never had the courage to attempt a double LIMERICK, so, BRAVO I say! Best wishes, Keith

Robert Johnson May 1, 2013 at 10:21 AM Such a conundrum. Can so relate. :)

Matthew Anish May 1, 2013 at 10:18 AM Nice rhymes - but I think you should haveing written "I" in the last stanza instead of "They".

Anne-Lise Andresen May 1, 2013 at 5:59 AM Yes, it's true Ilene - well said and it became a good poem! - oxox / / Anne-Lise :)

Eileen Manassian May 1, 2013 at 2:11 AM You've done it again, my dear. Lovely limerick...and yes...I've tried writing when I'm tired...boy...what a mess. However, sometimes those words just fly away never to return. I can't tell you how sad that makes me. I enjoyed this very much. Hugs.
