A Limerick For Patrick

Saint Pat was a man to admire 
Can't say he just preached to the choir
Enslaved by the Pirate 
Made do, without riot
He stayed, and lit all hearts afire!

My Heart

Contintment enslaved, 
by the muse of an angel, 
developing in my eye, 
Snowing flakes of gold, 
falling, falling, 
falling delicatly inside, 
where I keep my tears.

Less is threatened

Sounds Like

A poet played a game of sound in a charade
the words before him kept marching on parade
but in his wanton haste
he lost the foolish chase
and the poem within was then enslaved.

Surrendering To Love

All passion enslaved to Aphrodite,
her chains beyond silver or gold

Where time will forever surrender,
 to love—never purchased or sold
