A limerick
The greatest poets can make do without prose,
for they vast worlds in flowing poems compose.
Whereas I'm of weak stuff;
these threadbare lines ain't enough
to draw truths from my depths; and it shows...
Let’s write poetry together!
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)

Bravo David! 💚🤍💙
🤗😘 Filipa 🤗😘
If only you could believe more in yourself. 🙏🏻💙
that’s true for most of us, I think!
Indeed! I think it’s better than having a huge ego.
Your audience does not agree. 😊

I love limericks, and this one is cute, but the Chofetz Chaim admonished against putting yourself down (speaking Lashon Ha’ra against yourself).
With smile,

Poets gotta be real, right?
I marvel at how you stream words into poems in so many different forms including this one David!💖

😟 Friends worry for her
You have talent. You know many types of poetry. I always like to read your poems. You have worked with most poets, what more could you want to become a great poet? David ❤️

Thank you, David 💖
I would disagree. (K)
😍 Kerfe 😍
I think you are a great poet. I also enjoyed reading this poem. I take comfort in the fact we all have self-doubts.
🙏🏻💙 Molly 🙏🏻💙
Talent in whatever form you choose. 🦋💜
🤍 thanks, KK 🤍
You’re very welcome. 💜
Well done!
💓 Espie 💓 ~ thanks
Awesome! I love how even self-doubt can sound fun when it is encased in the music of a Limerick.
right? 😀
Me thinks you’re leaning more towards the “greatest poets” realm than “the weak stuff” David as you churn out enough poems for a lifetime in the space of a month. Your prose is pretty spectacular too, I might add!
😊 thanks so much, Ken 😊
You’ve no idea how amazing you are.
❤ Selma ❤ ~ you're very sweet. I wasn't fishing for compliments, but thank you!
Sincerely,
David
I know that. I just “live” the words and respond accordingly. Love the words you choose. You’re welcome. XoXo
