HAIKU: MAKE ME LAUGH

By Charles Robert Lindholm

 

I love it when you

why be a poet – limerick challenge

When I once decided to post
in order to garner the most
limericks of great hilarity
or poems of love and familiarity
instead I invented compost

more football – limerick challenge

Poetry challenge: Limerick.

the man who is chosen to punt
is usually the size of a runt
he’s small and he’s shifty
with a foot that’s quite nifty
until the big guys succeed in their hunt

Limerick: Homework

Poetry challenge: Limerick.

There once was a cunning school boy

For his homework, he had a nice ploy

He teased his classmate much, do the work

But the dull teacher seemed a better shirk

He let her check the work, to his silly joy

I had an exploding tin of flowers

It made me feel fine. I would slip out, after hours

And watch the flying colours while I drink my wine.

I offered you my flowers

I hoped to make you happy too.

channeling my inner ogden nash – noku ( almost a haiku )

Odgen Nash has always been one of my favorites

anonymity is serenity
but being brash
might get you cash

seamstress – limerick

Here’s my limerick or two.

traffic

A poem based on a traffic sign…. the idea from karen at reason2rhyme. Join in, ( Harry — this is right up your alley )

shopping – poem

I don’t know why she doesn’t take me shopping?

poker – haiku

trying a twisty ending… you know imitation/flattery?

economic cents

Karen at reason2rhyme has suggested we write a poem to or about an inanimate object. This is what came to mind…

alas poor penny upon the floor
does no one want you anymore ?
my children pause, forbear to stoop
and pocket you in one deft swoop

harvest

We were young once too….
