Premium Member A Limerick-Composing Old Man

A limerick-composing old man
Devised a most devious plan.
Rejecting convention,
I fear I must mention,
He fried all his verse in a pan.

Premium Member Pooting Patsy

Once was a lady named Patsy
With wooden leg and eye glassy
She looks both ways
Glassy eye just stays
Often poots for she is quite gassy

Premium Member Crazy Daisy

Once was a pretty lady called Daisy 
Rumored eccentric and quite lazy
She shaved her head
But not her legs
To defeat summer heat quite crazy
Form: Limerick

Premium Member One Small Indiscretion

One wild happy-go-lucky senryu
Was caught impersonating a haiku
They levied no fines
But removed two lines
Now she's a stick-in-the-mud monoku

Premium Member A Limerick on Limericks III

The man who a limerick makes,
Some topic or other he takes.
He drags it around,
Through air and the ground,
Then at a high temperature, bakes.

QUATRAIN WITH A NAME  a tribute

wrote poetry everso gently.
His greatest claim to fame
immortalised his mother's maiden name

Premium Member A Limerick on Limericks

A sentence or two, nothing more.
Five rhymes, and then back out the door.
A meter that’s strained,
Some topic profaned:
Ah me! What’s a limerick for?
Form: Limerick

Premium Member A Limerick on Limericks II

A classicist once might have said,
That limericks are poetry, dead.
Another might say,
‘Tis verse that’s at play,
That speaks to the earth in our head.

Premium Member Brilliant Kitty

A Tomcat and Queen fought over fiercely
Where to educate their brilliant kitty
They agreed upon two
CATS Boston and Purr-due
Thus avoiding a cat-astrophe

Premium Member Rumpelstiltskin

Once there was a man called Rumpelstiltskin
Whose diet was slim so he was quite thin
Then one sad day
His legs gave way
He lost his stilts and became rumpled skin.

Can I Ask You a Question

Lateness slows me down
I physically go slower
But i love ipmerfections.
Go up to someone today and repeat Can i ask you a question?
Then walk away with a hidden smile.

Premium Member Letters that are sound enhancing

Letters that are sound enhancing
and trippingly through my words go dancing ~
that’s the language that I seek
to get all my verse to speak, 
though mostly ~ tongue-in-cheek.

Premium Member For What It's Worth

I have noticed, for what it's worth,
A provocative title gets attention;
A bawdy limerick generates mirth
But, often, a bit of hypertension.

Premium Member The Crow

I once heard a knock at my door
And there was a crow repeating "No more"
I was so taken aback
I hit him with a rack
And sent him crashing right on the floor!

Trying To Repeat a Mistake

On a poem I posted
Somebody left this comment

“Brimming with wit, humor & cleverishness, C.J..
And a most enjoyable read.

So I sit here
Trying to figure out
How the hell did I do that?

My New Poetry Notebook

This is where
I will work out
my poetry.

It is only for
my poetry.

It is not for
grocery lists.

It is not for
phone numbers

although
in a pinch
it could be.

Three Questionku Poems

Find furniture
In a pitch dark room
Do you use your shin bone?

A diamond gift
Female Viagra
Could they be the same thing?

Look now and see
Really ugly sheep
Where virgin wool comes from?
