Flaring Verse (Limerick and Haiku)
Jenn’s haiku theme this week is flare. So I decided to have some homonym fun, writing a flair limerick and a flare haiku:
A woman who dressed with much flair,
Wearing clothes I for one would not dare,
One morning looked odd—
Neither stylish, nor mod—
Alas, she was utterly bare.
*****
When bad tempers flare,
they tend to bare* grievances
best left buried.
*****
*In my haiku, I changed bear to bare after my husband Mark pointed out my error. Since I’m always pointing out his errors, Mark really enjoyed this. :)

Well as long as she was cute
That would be a hoot..haha
Great message in the second!! I like the homonym in the limerick, you really have that great flair for doing these so very well!!
so true so true, sometimes a burial is the best thing….
Very interesting!
Reminds me of the Mother Hubbard one…
In days of yore
when girls went out to swim
they dressed like Mother Hubbard
now a days they are not quite so prim
they dress more like her cubboard
Oh, that is a good one! What fun. Differences can do that….
And make no mistake, sooner or later bad tempers DO flare–and fierce is their burning!
One Kind of Flare
Madeleine,
Submitting this for the fun of it.
A woman who dressed with much flair
Was such a joy to see for those who care
Flaunting her assets
Got the wives upset
Much to the delight of the menfolks there
Hank
