Variations - Words edition...

The words flow, cathartic and healing
A space to unpack what we'd hidden away
Allowing us once again to start feeling
The words flow, cathartic and healing
Memories freed that we'd been concealing
Feeling good, it's a new dawn, a new day
The words flow, cathartic and healing
A space to unpack what we'd hidden away
 
Sitting outside listening to the sounds
I love the warmth from the sun
Stress gone from the day happiness abounds
Sitting outside listening to the sounds
Feeling peaceful and gentle, solace is found
Relaxed and free the workday is done
Sitting outside listening to the sounds
I love the warmth from the sun
 
“Marshmallows, chips, we even had watermelon!”
“Apple juice, too!”
End of year parties, preventing future felons.
“Marshmallows, chips, we even had watermelon!”
Sticks, pavement, sun, all out Armageddon,
everyone knows grade ones for no foo’!
“Marshmallows, chips, we even had watermelon!”
“Apple juice, too!”

The highs and the lows,
I’ve come to love them equally.
Is it arrogance or ignorance, only heaven knows.
The highs and the lows,
feeling so superior and then so gross.
Maybe it’s time to reset to default, systemically.
The highs and the lows,
I’ve come to love them equally.
 
We need a fun one, isn’t that the prompt?
Make it fun, Eva!
Smile, giggle, maybe a tiny little stomp.
We need a fun one, isn’t that the prompt?
Dolls, yarn, makeup, frivolous stuff - I’m swamped!
Sugary sweet, but they won’t notice the sativa.
We need a fun one, isn’t that the prompt?
Make it fun, Eva!
 
We say adieu to the triolet
Though I'm sure it will return
And be reprised another day
We say adieu to the triolet
A odd rhyme scheme with which to play
New to me it has been fun
We say adieu to the triolet
Though I'm sure it will return

And we move on...

This week, we're taking an about face from thimgs that make us happy, to

Things than annoy us or we dislike

But let's not get bogged down in a week of misery! Let's have some fun! With that in mind, the form we're going to use is a limerick.

Usually numerous often naughty, I'm sure we've all come across limericks before.

For those unfamiliar, they are bouncy poems, where lines 1,2 and 5 are longer (8 or 9 syllables) and rhyme, and 3 and 4 are shorter (usually 5 syllables) with a different rhyme. The other important part to a limerick is the pattern of the stressed syllables:

Ba bada ba bada ba bad
Ba bada ba bada ba bad
De dum diddy dum
De dum diddy dum
Ba bada ba bada ba bad
I've never thought about limericks in such detail 🙈

Anyway, have fun, be creative, and get some shit off your chest in a humorous way...
 
A rhyme with things that annoy,
Rather than those we enjoy?
Well, top of the list
That makes me real pissed
Is people who can’t count syllables, ravage metre or properly follow a simple fucking rhyming pattern.
You make the same joke every time
Fuck the meter, or maybe the rhyme
A typical Ocker
Naught but a mocker
Against poetry is your crime

😏😉
