Limerick.47. When Do I Write Limericks

Rating: 5.0


I turn to the writing of limericks
When I run short of lyrics
To survive in any field,
And never to yield
One has to resort to such gimmicks!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
After being away from home on a short trip for almost two weeks and totally cut off from all poetic inclinations, my mind is at present blank and it takes time to fuel it with some poetic fancy. In the mean time to stay on the scene, I turn to writing limerick which is easier!

Your Limericks are a wonder They strike my ears like thunder To stop writing these would be a blunder May you never yield and never surrender...

Ayman, you're such an inspiration Your comments quicken my respiration Your encouragement raises my passion That I strive more n' more for perfection Thanks a lot!

Inspiration, i also become blank, being hungry and thirsty of inspiration I sometimes go to a pond of still water whereat only animals can remove their thirst. after all I am a son of Adam but like Adam I don't take much time to regret my foolishness. You are lucky that you are a nice woman engaged in a respectable profession. It's better to drink neat and clean water even it's not in a satisfactory quantity. My love, regards and respect for you. That's why you are my best friend. One more thing, your Limericks are works of art!

I don't think you ever run short of inspiration, Akhtarji! You are 'minting' poems ever! Thank you for the sweet words about me! I value your friendship!

nicely rhumed-limericks, lyrics, gimmicks; it may be easy for you to write a limerick; not so easy for beginners like me- adjusting the syllables, the rhyming words and adding a bit of nonsense!

You are an expert of limericks, You find an ease but what about us.

It is a great skill. Your limericks are so much fun to read. I do need some survival gimmicks but haven't found any yet!

Writing a limerick is not that easy. I haven't been able to frame one yet. Your honesty is laudable and a good limerick is out!
