Not A-Mused (3-Verse Limerick)
\nBy Madeleine Begun Kane<\/p>\n
Inspiration is gone — I’m bereft,
\nFor I fear my dear muse has just left.
\nAnd my brain’s auto-rhymer
\nIs spent — the old-timer
\nSays, “Write something rhyme-free with heft.”<\/p>\n
A serious verse that’s rhyme-free?
\nI’m sorry — that just isn’t me.
\nI don’t layer my verse
\nOr deep meaning disperse.
\nI’d rather spread light-hearted glee.<\/p>\n
If you’re waiting for metaphor, stop.
\nAnd a simile simply won’t pop.
\nMy verse just won’t hatch
\nWithout rhyme — that’s the catch:
\nAn unfertilized limerick crop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
