A Clerihew
Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un
allows no Korean his health to impugn.
He's lost weight and faces a food shortage
and abhors international reportage!
P.S.
Thanks for putting up with my Clerihews… I wrote 7 of them for another week of my #APoemADay challenge, and now I’ll move onto something else!
The Skeptic's Kaddish 🇮🇱 
Once again your commitment to practicing different forms is wondrous! It inspires me to keep learning in all my writings and poetry and musical meanderings! ✨
❤ Hamish ❤ – thank you!
Honestly, it's such a blast – I'm getting kinda addicted to new forms 😉
Do you have any favorites of your own?
Yours,
David
Ooh! This is a great question! I really like the word cinquain, and the concept of restricting something to a certain number of lines. To distill down a writing to its essence. I haven’t tried writing any, but this coming week I might just give it a go! Thank you! 😁
I do also really like a four stanza poem, with each a self-contained but also joined quatrain. It can be like five poems in one!
do you have a poetry section on your blog? I’d love to read some if it’s available.
Coming soon! Your encouragement will help me actually do it instead of just talking about it. Much of my poetry is borne out of struggles with depression, filled with deep emotion and no specific form of number of lines or words, just what broke free from my soul to write. ✨
Thank you for your encouragement. 🙏
please share if/when you do!
Cute, and again reminiscent of Igor Guberman (Garik).
Shabbat Shalom, David!
Thank you, Dolly, much love to you!

Shavuah Tov, David.
At some point I saw a comment of you regarding my so-called ‘sweetness’ which vanished when I lost signal and never reappeared.
I thank you for the compliment, dear friend, but there is a lot more to me than sweetness; however, it is between me and Ha-kadosh Baruch Chu.
Have a wonderful week,
D
😻
If that is so, Dolly, it can only mean that you have a huge personality to fit all those elements on top of the sweetness ❣️
Ha! The ‘elements’ came first, everything else developed later, David. I am named after two great-grandmothers, the aggressive, powerful, commandeering Rebbetzen Devorah Leah and the gentle Yentl. My grandmother (Yentl’s daughter) always claimed that I was all Devorah and no Yentl. It took years to bring out ‘Yentl traits.’

Too many dictators, not enough time…(k)

This is very clever. And the message couldn’t be better. 🙂
😘 Terveen 😘
Thank you so much for introducing me to clerihew, I kinda feel inspired! Been in a writing funt but these have booted me out,😊
Yeah, it is a cute form 😏
Serves ‘m right.
💪
All the “bad actors” in one week!
nah; there are others… but I didn’t want to drive everyone crazy with more than 7 clerihews!
David, a wonderful villain to lampoon! ❤ Nicely done! 🙂
❤ Cheryl ❤
