Here's a poem I wrote at the time (many years ago now)...
After the Fall
you took it all
except my heart
(why would you take a broken plaything?)
I found bits of it
buried amongst sand dunes at Omanu
tumbling in eternal crashing surf on Ocean Beach
spread across dark green
Ohauiti Welcome Bay
hills tumbling down forever
from turquoise sky
to tranquil harbour
reflective at high tide.
land is solid persistent
never failing, never faithless
truth and light
comfort me now
I am calm
Perhaps, this place can do what all the King's Horses
And all the King's Men
Could not.
After the first two lines, the rhyming kinda went downhill.
Yeah... :-)
At least it wasn't a Limerick...:-)
Try:
There was a woman from Carolina,
Who placed fiddle strings 'cross her vagina,
With certain-sized cocks,
What was sex became Bach's
Tocatta and Fugue in D Mina.
Thanks Jerry :-)
Cursed a limerick writer from Texas,
"We have versified as he expects us:
Every verse starts unstressed,
Which I've grown to detest.
Damn! Let's try catalexis!"
