Limericks written in Limerku form where words are counted, not syllables.
To some contest hosts, it seems to be very inconsequential
Perhaps they see poetry by a living brain as nonessential
What a disservice to the human hand
When AI poetry should receive a reprimand
Users have no shame in winning. They're positively nonpenitential
So easily now they've learned how to cheat by utilizing
the way AI allows, by using the means of humanizing
No hesitation over which buttons to click
and what they post is a goldbrick
Lines of blah blah blah, unappetizing that needs closer analyzing
The sponsors I continue to write for have dwindled low
Never would I post something that was empty of emo
Poetry should come from heart and soul
And if anyone cares... truth be told
Those who take unearned wins, I label them a bozo
Natural
Normally we should have
Non discriminating tastes but
Neuropsychiatrists have proven that our
Nasopharynx has evolved tastebuds and our
Noses odor receptors which can provide a
Natural defense against
Nano toxins and allow for
Nonbelligerent molecules to enter our bodies. One would think this would be
Newsworthy and a scientific article would be written for the magazine
Nature because it is
Nondenominational in its scientific approach and is
Neutral in its reporting. But this
Newfangled idea will have
No appeal to the
Nonreader and those who
Need to read this article will
Not get the chance to read this important information as it will considered
Nonessential.
At 6
At 6 I could concentrate on
7 aspects of a
problem at
the same time. Irreversibility was
exceptional (award winning). I could
mentally undo
actions, even undo mentally all
actions of
people, objects alive, and
animals. I’d high telegraphic speech; leaving out
nonessential words was a
cinch. Syntax and vocabulary was
the envy of
the children in
the street, and
of course, the envy of
the children and teachers (parents too) at
Elmwood Primary. High focus span, countless items
remembered. Gender identity strong and
healthy. Gender roles
understood. Skipped over
imitation stage. Master of
observational learning. Poor parallel (side by
side) play. Not much interest in
cooperative play. Non interactive! Preferred to
be around
family.
Today the sun has hidden
Its warmth in the foggy mist
A clever way to fool humans
And creatures that it is going to rain
Humidity rises but still it’s gray
And dry a nonessential creation
The trees leaves are inverted
Waiting for showers of water
To no avail the skies are dry
The flowers petals are closed
Begging for an eruption
A drop of water
To wet them and
Feed the soil
Birds are searching for
Drinking pools and puddles
To bathe and wet their beaks
Mouths open and dry
Still the skies remain dry
Coordinates require input, chance comes coincidentally,
Rendezvous a meeting point, your wandering aimlessly,
Vector on interception course, we cross paths randomly
Anticipation is foresight, I never imagined such beauty,
Innocent palpitations strike, overwhelmed by nubility,
Calibration nonessential, elegance exudes so naturally,
Reason is the difficult part, am I thinking irrationally,
Infatuation happens, pubescence outgrows captivity,
Desire lost in translation, god what is happening me,
Cannot understand, attractions growing exponentially,
Resistance futile, unconditional surrender I give freely,
Stay a little longer, for I’m helpless through invisibility,
Somehow you went away, disappearing into obscurity,
My only confession now, is yearning a crushed fantasy.
By David Kavanagh
Barbershops all closed,
a Covid nonessential.
I clip my own mop.
Her red tipped fingernails grazed the paper as she wrote about life, unbelievable beliefs and other nonessential things.
You're supposed to forgive and forget, but she could only re-live and to regress deeper into her own mind as she searched for answers she could answer herself.
Her black boots and feet barely touch the ground as she reached higher to achieve her dreams, only for her parents to hot glue gun the worn boots to the floor, effectively stifling her creative freedom and locking her up in her own head.
She wanted to chop off all of her hair to start a new but her friends liked her hair long so they had all the scissors.
She wanted to wear black clothes and no makeup but her school all wanted to be the same so they gave her the school logo in a tattoo that burned her skin.
And in order to protect herself, she tried to fall but she flew instead, a rope around her neck as she failed to apologize for a social ideal she couldn't fill.
And they cried for her, alligator tears paving down their faces, cracked with happiness at their handiwork.
It appears terribly nonessential
That rain has got no sense of time
As it brings the water essential
Its rudeness has no shame of crime
Import the things more the country really need
For its economic development
Such as food, raw materials for various industries
Technology, electric power and so on.
Export the things that are surplus and competitive
And whose demand is in the foreign countries.
With a view to boost export
The government should minimize export duty
And encourage the exporters
By reducing tariff on import of associated raw materials.
The government must discourage import of nonessential items
By imposing higher import duty
And encourage production of luxury items in the country.
In the modern world international trade can play a vital role
In the economic development of any country
That’s why the governments must emphasize on it evermore.
If God were to recreate the Earth
He might look back through history
And make changes, consider three
All children would be conceived in love
Neglect is suffered shamefully
Too many scarred by poverty
Skin color would not be criteria
For measuring man’s potential
Racial divides? Nonessential
Joy would reign in everyone’s life
Earth’s bounty would be shared by all
Blissful spirits would fill each hall
These three may providing a launching pad
To make our world a better place
And man would revel in God’s grace
