Hahaha! So I fail again
In following the rules of limerick!
Thanks to my friend Bri and Valsa
For pointing to my ignorant gibberish!
I think I will go to library
And do a thorough research,
Before I try my hands on Limerick!
Train my mind into rules of poetry,
Try to write a poem that flows with
Choice words and numbered syllables.
But poetry is not a gimmick of words
Flowing from a linguistic’s mind!
Chances are my plan for library
Will take a long time.
If I can’t remember the rules
I am afraid my way to library too will I lose!
But a poet’s heart and
A linguistic mind is demanded
To explore the nook and cranny
Of poetry’s field
May be I will do just what
Many have done before!
Revolutionize the limerick
With free verse rules!
Keep the humor and discard the rules!
Venture in a field without rules!
Thank you Bri and Valsa
For being my poetic guide!
But the path I walk on
Must I decide!
