  1. Happy National Limerick Day!

    A limerick is a five-line humorous poem with a distinct AABBA rhyme scheme and a bouncy rhythm.

    Edward Lear (born today) popularised the form in the 19th century, frequently using them in his #Book of Nonsense.

  2. Morning blooms whisper in gentle light,
    Petals waking from dreams of night,
    In every bud, a hope takes flight—
    Love begins with dawn so bright.

  3. I hate who I am as a person sometimes
    The way I fiercely love and can't get along
    Won't get along. Couldn't.
    The way the teacher was never a teacher at all
    The way the bond was always so fragile
    The way I hang on to it wrapped around my arm like a leash on a prey driven dog. One sudden movement and I'm face-first on the cement. The way I thought I had things in the bag and how very mistaken I was. And how afraid I am.
