When two people are thrown together
                    Limerick
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When two people are thrown together
Cloud indicates some stormy weather
Man and a woman
Are only human.
The friendship could last now forever.

Metaphors
   ( An Acrostic)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Metaphoric command worth the bother
Embellishments add beauty to the prose
Transfer meaning from one to another
Attribute to the dullest verse composed
Poetic license taken up as viewed.
Hyperbolic magnification theme
Out-worn cliches mixing metaphors new
Rhetoric seeks to pad out every line.
Souls destroyed when similes fail to rhyme.

Masterful
( An Acrostic )

Many times I sit right here and wonder
At the ingenuity of mankind.
Supposed to stand by whilst others plunder
Though they have the power at once to find
Each consequential cause the art displays
Recorded in seconds of their lifetimes.
From acrostic verse or Limerick of the days
United in the warmth of mutual praise.
Look to see your masterful from today.

Sport Alliteration.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Can you canoe white waters in a bucket ?
Slam dunk that punk for stealing your best car
Watch pool aces take it from your pocket ?
Or pretty perky jockeys riding last.
Tennis stars still have their cake and eat it.
Chess masters checked from mating much
         this year.
Simple sailors question whether weather’s
          clement ?
A runner’s been a runner from the start.
Notice now a notice board to board to notice?
TV covers the sport. Sport covers the TV.
I rest my case for alliteration Who really cares?

Each rest day I’ll speak to my dear girl.
I love her so much I’m in a whirl.
She treats me so good
That I think I should.
Buy her diamonds or maybe a pearl.

Five wits hold the key.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Having been blessed with wits of five
Of common sense the product of the senses
Imagination is the wit your sense is still alive
Fantasy’s imagination to which wit condenses
Estimation estimates the absolute infinity
Memory the wit of recall of passed empathy
Bring together all five in the same proximity
Check out the licensing of this poet anyway
Common sense, imagination, fantasy,
       Estimation, memory.

The challenge
     (Free Verse )
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Praise be to God , we have eyes to see beyond
Befitting the wit of Mankind ever strong.
For years four-hundred maybe five
The Poets made the words to come alive.
Challenging proved me right n seldom wrong

The first rhymes I made way back at school
My fairest weather friends thought me a fool
A waste of useful time the taunted cry
Have they much better things always to do?
And to there fine X-Boxes could be glued.
