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!

Very clever Ilene! I've never had the courage to attempt a double LIMERICK, so, BRAVO I say! Best wishes, Keith

Such a conundrum. Can so relate. :)

Nice rhymes - but I think you should haveing written "I" in the last stanza instead of "They".

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.
