Limerick humorous
Lively and sometimes rude 
Lack  of  person's concern 
Lines with a strict rhyme scheme 
Laid out    AABBA pattern
Length traditionally 10-10-7-7-10
Light-hearted levity

From the help spilled forth customary whines
Moaned that their duties were fraught with deadlines
   That it couldn't be worse
   If they were in a hearse!
Time to exchange their complaints for complines





Note: 'Complines' are evening prayers traditionally
          recited before retiring for the night....

There's a cockney name Terry, loves to joke
Nitro, his cat is   easy to provoke 
Nitro slept under the chair.
Terry in his lion's lair 
Got up; in doom and gloom a hollow broke.

Sunshine on a rainy day
Perfect showers that cleanse the sidewalks
Raindrops that make delightful sounds
I am at home looking through the window
New and refreshing the air
Good weather comes again to be

Really dangerous sometimes,
Accepted as traditionally enhancing
I walk carefully, perhaps I stay at my apartment
Now the beautiful sunshine comes, blessing  us

Power analysis
traditionally follows investment
and divestment of money.

Which is all fine and good,
but, as I recall,
the truth of sustainable power trends
has more to do with the healthy beauty
and the unhealthy ugliness
of where we choose to start our redemption narrative
and where we choose to end

Our historical revolving global dance,
green/blue health regenerative
holistic EarthTribe life....

Do me truly,

because I wish I never had,

hate me bizarre because weed doesn't hit far-

forstall and say 'your friend',

tell the whole world that it is spent-

traditionally in a send of the courageous pen!

Stake like the entrapment well-den-

procrastinate because they figured out your bend!

Flake and forget to amaze and fend-

gesturing is no amount of time you need to see yourself commend....

Dire desire
Controls your empire
No one knows the difference between “want” and “need”
Why all the selfish? Why all this greed?

“Success?”
Is traditionally measured in wealth,
Rather than the condition of a soul’s health

“Happiness?”
Is what comes with power,
The power of infliction and creating death showers

“All I want is for you to be successful,”
You say,
But I never want to be “happy”
Your way....

See those blue mouldy lines
snake across its creamy
surface. When it’s cut it
smells like dad’s sweaty socks!
Served after dessert with
some crackers, grapes, and Port.
Save some for me to eat!

Stilton is a blue cheese traditionally served after Christmas dinner

H ope for a brighter tomorrow
 E nlivens those who sorrow
 A iming to find a way to borrow
 R adiance from the rainbow
 T o color the world blue indigo

 H appiness awakens the heart
 U niting the ones who impart
 G ifts of friendship traditionally
 S ure they love unconditionally

Shakespeare's pen surrendered to retirement,
Elizabeth Barrette Browning a constant motivation,
Robert Barette Browning, love's companion,
The mysteries of God's universe,
Discovered by humanity,
Honourable companions of the past,
A memory of contemporary excellence,
Companions of the present,
Defined traditionally,
God's nature encompassing us daily,
Blossoming through the seasons,
A writer's paradise.

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.

Inferno intimacy.                        04/01/2020


Come all and get in line 
Go for a ride on a pine 
Couples sit side by side 
Exchanging words so kind

Knowing each othes familiarities

Like they are of similarities 
There space filled with closeness 
They dont show any coldness

Communicating with integrity 
To one another with sincerity 
All should know this ride traditionally 
Its our grand attraction inferno intimacy

Now all climb aboard, for this ride floats...
