His Curses Sting
Too late, too late did my muse formulate!
I know an old man with Tourette's
Who swears every chance that he gets
If you look at him funny
I'll wager lotsa money
His curses sting worse than lost bets!

No Word Comes Near Enough
The English language has its limits. I learned this when I became a student of the Bible and looked up the Greek and Hebrew definitions behind the Scriptures I loved. Some languages have so much more depth and power than the one I use to convey my thoughts. But, even so, I don't think any word could ever come close to describing this void and pain I am journeying through. I don't know how to swim through its murky waters.

Winterthorne
Winterthorne stood alone at the edge of the park. The beautiful snow that had surrounded him was all trampled now, from the feet of all of the children who had built him. He missed the sparkly clean snow blanket, but he was happy that so many children had come out to make him.

Witty and hilarious, John! And that picture 😂
Great Limerick… Bit of a tongue twister too.🙃
Very inventive. Tourettinio collapsor, Tourettinio cyclone...
Agree with L.C.
Brilliant! 😊👍
Haha, great poem, it made me smile😊
It’s a witty yet thoughtful take on how we often misinterpret things that are beyond someone’s control, while still maintaining a lighthearted feel. Very interesting poets.
I can’t get enough of these quirky photos. This limerick poem was 🔥 fun, playful and hilariously inventive. I had to read it a couple times because the flow and rhyme was also perfectly done. 👌🏽👏🏽
How very clever! Better late than never as they say! Fantastically funny, John!
