Poetry - Serious or Funny

A Sad but Interesting Face in Our Garden

 I have recently joined a Poetry Forum which I am finding most enlightening and interesting. I like to write poetry. As I write, I always find difficulty in thinking of rhyming words. I now find that you do not need these rhyming words at the end of every second line or whatever. Poetry is like a story as such but in shorter form and with more feeling and emotion depending on the mood of the writer at the time.

I'd like to have a go at writing a limerick one day, they always sound so cheery and funny with a bit of a tune to them. I will never be a Burns, Keats or Byron to name a few, but I will be myself and hopefully some may enjoy what I write.





A bit of lighthearted fun, not my poems:

There is a young schoolboy named Mason,
Whose mum cuts his hair with a basin.
When he stands in one place,
With a scarf round his face,
It's a mystery which way he’s facing.

There was a young lady of Lynn,
Who was so excessively thin.
That when she assayed,
To drink lemonade,
She slipped through the straw and fell in.

Have a day full of laughter
