Blueberries are very cheap today
         A Limerick

Blueberries are very cheap today.
Much cheaper than they were yesterday.
I ate blueberries
And some strawberries
Whilst cheap they just ain’t worth the outlay.

ABCDERIAN   poets Army.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Awake my giant cause and fast defend
Be proud of your selection to this human race
Cheeks to be turned , struck and turned again
Discover sooner but not too late my friend
Evil forces satirise the devils work
Fight for God , however low the demons swoop
Gold are his tools and you are living proof.
His Holy praises sing in your loudest voice.
Incorporated within your kindest thoughts
Job satisfaction leads you through the maze
Kindred spirits guiding hands along the way
Look often then within your beating heart
Mindful slay those dragons there to slay.
Not too late to kneel and contemplate.
Perverse and foolish ? No you will never stray.
Quickly learn from all mistakes you make
Reserve your strength to lead in the affray
Stand up this day and so be counted “IN”
To the noblest Army. The Poets unity.
Useless gibberish from Satan’s next of kin.
Vessels empty makes the loudest din.
What matters is that you’re the major source
Xanadu your goal , now you are poised to win
You are the vanguard of triumphant troops
Zoila’s failure to brow-beat any poetic force.

Palindrome
   An Acrostic
~~~~~~~~~~
Palindromes don’t appear every single day
A word that similarly reads fore and aft
Like “Nip a pin” “Tar a rat” never just one way
In a isle of prose that some how sounded daft
Napoleons “Able I was ere I saw Elba.
Did I mention “ Bin a nib” in my poetic draft?
Ronet could be linked with tenor anyway
Oh and try “ Noil “with “Lion” if you care to.
Madam is a common one but not today
Elba or Able as a palindrome of class.

‘‘Twas a cold wet day in December
                A Limerick

‘‘Twas a cold wet day in December
Thunder and rain I remember.
A deserted pool.
Maybe I’m a fool.
Be doubtful I’d get any wetter.

A sticky beak.
    Limerick
~~~~~~~~~~
A sticky beak from my family.
Tried to dominate the like of me
She’d better soon learn
My lucks on the turn
That my free will’s always been free.

The Poets greenhouse
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dwell within your beautiful greenhouse environ
Your flowers bloom from seedlings sown
Regardless of the drudgery expended.
Your pleasure in the constant mindless tease
Though birds of paradise make for you a home
And the failed verse has no time lost grieving
Not for self satisfaction pure genius alone.
Stands alongside doleful critic without reason
Poets in greenhouses never throw a stone.

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.
