The lim’rick’s better known;
we know this much is true,
but on a whim,
it’s nice to trim
a syllable or two.

Better known perhaps
as simply: I am..
I am..rises
as subject/object:
the Big Bang
our Awakening
to the morning sun......

these mythical creatures,
though sadly nowadays 
they are better known for
trawling the internet
targeting people on
Twitter and on Facebook

'Tis said that William Claude Dukenfield was fond of his rum.

   A healthy nip morning, noon and night was his rule of thumb!

      He was better known as W. C. Fields who was always on the skids,

         And despised nearly everything and everyone including innocent kids!

Amongst the fields of milk and honey
Run tight ends paid much too much money
Throwing pink pig skins
With nary a grin
Nursing booboos which aren’t real funny.

So, get your hot dog, buy that beer
Hear those skulls crack give a cheer
Break a leg
Tap that keg
We're building men here, ain’t that clear?

*Better known as the Nutcracker Sweet ;)...

Wladziu Valentino Liberace
Famous American pianist and entertainer
He was quite the character they say.
Made those ivories talk and he was also quite gay.

Tanka poem
By Michelle Morris

You are out of reach.
Communication is done.
How can we talk now?
Can you read my mind, lovely?
I love and miss you dearly.

Blessings bring brilliant and bright hues
Boosting breaths of bashful balance
Beckoning beautiful beliefs to bring
Benefits to believers who blissfully
Blossom in buds of bounteousness

Blessings brighten beatitudes that bring
Brave and breathtaking breezes of
Bubbling, brisk benevolence to the
Brokenhearted who brim over with
Boundless, booming, bold brevity

Breathing blessings better known as
Beloved, blissful breaths from the Bible

FAILS TO FAKE !!!
 
THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT 
MISSIN UR SIGHT
LOST IN UR THOUGHT 
MA MIND BURNT SO LOT
 
FORGOT THE RULE

There`s a flower 
Which loves height
Of the mountain tops
Growing in crevices of rock 
It survives sun, wind and snow
Where no other species can grow
In Austria and Switzerland up in the Alps 
Leontopodium alpinum is something you may see
You need to look carefully and mind where you tread
They are beautiful to look at , with a flower so small and white
They are better known by the name Edlewiess which can be translated
To mean noble and white
