Writing great poems on Poetry Soup.
His Limericks put a smile on our face,

Most essential in these sorts of flights
Fred said take them away

It will be a fight
Like never before….

You’ve now started a war
With the wrong Aussie girl!!...

How does it matter if area of a country is small?
Why expand?
What purpose does it serve?
Common man merely wants to earn and eat
He seeks his happiness.

A smile that warms her heart.
 With bright, shining Angel eyes.
Soon his whole world would fall apart.
 When he sadly watched as his Mother dies.

No one to listen or believe what he saw.
 For years the truth lie in wait.
Each passing day, the pain made...
