What poetry form would best express your state of mind right now - Limerick or haiku?

Probably free verse, which is more often my chosen style, but if you make me choose between the two you have given I’d go with a limerick.

Sadly I’m not that interested in poetry. I’m not good at poetry either. I express myself better with free style writing which I do a lot, and any rhyme is just coincidence.

There was a man from Nantucket, whose d…never mind, mixed company here.

While the painters strive in vain, the shit house poet strikes again. I’m a poet and don’t know it.

I got to cut lose tonight to get my mind off the Nazi scum suckers. Before I lose my mind.

@JLeslie – Sing your story!
@Mimishu1995 – Not rhymes with lot…but you knew that.
@Nomore_lockout – All things will pass, even that limerick ;)

And the Nazis will too..And I’ll be happy to send them off.

@Nomore
He knows he is going to die.
But he isn’t going down without a fight.
He knows he is going to lose.
But this will be the least a honorable soldier can do.

In other word, don’t hesitate to call a bad person out :p

I usually prefer haiku, but today I heard this lymerick

A lymerick by Lindsey Horner

A mob of the MAGA persuasion
Conducted a Capitol invasion
Though possibly armed
They parted unharmed
And that’s how you know they’re Caucasian

A So Cal-style abbreviated haiku (4,5,4), will have to do for now:

I and my cat
Just lying around,
Gathering fat! ;-p

@filmfann – Instant classic!
@Brian1946 – It’s the meaning of life ;)

A cat getting fat is the meaning of life? Whould’a thunk it?

@Nomore_lockout – Yess! Now you know :D

I’ll be ding dang. I would have thought it was a yapping ass dog?

@Nomore_lockout – That’s why we’ve all been lost for so long.

Well stop the world, I want to get off.

chicken chicken hi
how are you doing chicken
cockle doodle dooooo

@rebbel – Perfect zen. Or maybe you just like eggs…?

Here I sit waiting for a vaccine.
The hopeful answer to this bad dream.
It’s not my turn yet.
When it is I am set.
I‘ll see friends, family, the whole team.

@JLeslie – Masterpiece! And absolutely relatable.

@JLoon I like me some poultry; haiku or limerick.

@Nomore_lockout “I’m a poet and don’t know it.”

But your feet show it… they’re long fellows.

@rebbel – Inspiration you can eat!
@smudges – I see what you did there ;)

You shouldn’tt end a line in a poem in English with orange . . . . .

”What rhymes with orange?
Orange rhymes with Blorenge (a mountain in Wales) and sporange (a technical word for a sac where spores are made). Of course, if you want to write a rhyming poem about oranges, the scientific or geographic research involved might be a little tough.”

@Tropical_Willie – It’s strange the range you hinge on orange. It makes George so forlorn, and this porridge isn’t warm.

Say what? I’ve entered an alternate reality..oh well, at least it’s clear of Trumpers.

@Nomore_lockout – I’m just “thanking myself”, again ;)

For strange rangers and forlorn porridge? Backs away, slowly. Take two Tylenol and call me in the morning. Scratch that…think
I’ll drink two six-packs, and sleep in the morning.

@Nomore_lockout – Quitter.

Lol cold blooded!

This stuff is too heavy for me..Can’t rap my old skull around it. : (

@Nomore_lockout – It’s not you, it’s me ;)

@Nomore now you are making me worried. Yesterday I thought you were just blowing some steam, hence my post. Are you ok?

@Mimishu1995 LOL I’m fine Mimi, thank you the concern. I was just blowing off steam last night, something I saw on Facebook about neo Nazis in Auschwitz t shirts. Plus I was bored silly at work. But all good : ) Just been a nerve wracking week, both politics wise and on the work front.

Really I’m fine, Cup of bleach? Mind if I do? : )

@Nomore ok I see :) That would make my blood boil too.

@Mimishu1995 Exactly. But guess I’ll calm down and trust our politicians to do the right thing. Hope my trust is not misplaced.

@Nomore if all fails, you can at least fall back on my previous post. It was a small part of a mini story I wrote about a soldier making a last stand. It’s better than to do nothing :)

https://youtu.be/Bg1di8sGxWc LOL here ya go Mimi now you’ll really think I’m nuts.

At one time they called me a hippie,
And I said “You bet your sweet bippie!”
Then they called out a pig
For the President’s gig
And the hippie turned into a YIPpie!

@Tropical_Willie _”What rhymes with orange?..”

A Limerick Ending With “Orange”

He wobbles like he was a sporenge,
Do you think he’ll relocate to Blorenge?
The Welsh would not like it,
Were he even to spike it.
For his hair is exceedingly orange!
