(answer to JD's limerick challenge)

by Anne Engelen

I post my poems abroad

‘cause folks in Belgium, do not

uderstand a word I write

they comment with spite

That’s how my work ended up in this spot

 

Since then I wake up to this screen

And look for arrows so green

So I can comment as well

When words ring a bell

Poetry, touches me unseen

yes,'When words ring a bell Poetry, touches me unseen', well, I can so easily identify with this. And yes, green arrows symbolizes LIFE. An anouncement that the poet is still ALIVE. hahaha. Nice limerick.

Your heart-filled limerick is evidence, Angels do exist. It is we, a pathetic mass, who chase in your regale. Pe4ce...

It's a cute way of honestly commenting on your relationship with this community. I like the idea of waking up to the screen, the portal you make into our hearts.

Ooh what a lovely limerick response to JD's challenge! And yes, as Ashok says those green arrows are a sign of LIFE...and I feel like I am always looking for them...it seems those green arrows are even in my dreams these days as when I used to turn around colored bricks to place them strategically in place the way I did when I was awake and playing Tetris for hours upon end.....hahahaha :-) Nice write Anne!

Very nice indeed. A definite 5 star rating on my bulletin board!
