I am filled with love
It moves like fluttering birds
In my beating heart

              A limerick

There once was a Bichon named Ted
Who liked to run under the bed.
When we called her name
She chose to remain
And had to be swept out instead.

Articulate
Natural
Energetic

  1. Did I ever mention how hugely annoying it is that when I’m doing my posts, I can’t just put in spaces and other formatting and have them show up??? And then when I finally find the “space” symbol in HTML and put it in, the preview shows it correctly but when I got back to edit anything, “it” takes out all the spacing again??? I worked for over half an hour trying to get the spaces correct on the first poem and then when I published it, they were gone, so I had to go in again at least a couple times. Why can’t it just format the way I put it in??

    Never heard of a “name poem” before, but like yours a lot. Will have to give it a try.
