I attended a  poetry course at The Writing Centre in Lisburn toady and thoroughly enjoyed it. Below are my poems written at the session:

 

HAIKU (1)

His smile so sultry

Redness coats his luscious lips

Prince of Darkness comes

 

HAIKU (2)

Two together forever

Joined in  womb of maternal love

They form a twosome

 

HAIKU (3)

Bright eyes, sweetest smile

Ancient heart does break once more

As she leaves me lonely

LIMERICK

There once was a girl called Molly

Who was so very jolly

She could jump so high

Right up to the sky

And didn’t drop her ice lolly

LIMERICK (2)

There was an elderly lady

Who used to do everything shady

She got her comeuppance

From stealing tuppence

And now she’s a convicted old lady

LIMERICK (3)

There was a young fellow named Jack

Who ran to the shop and back

He wanted to buy

A lemon cream pie

He came back with a pack

 

ACROSTIC POEM

Keep beside me Honey

Every single day

Ease my sometimes loneliness

Love me as you may

Each precious hug and smile

You are my beautiful child

 

 

NOW THIS LAST ONE IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE SHAPE OF A GUITAR!! (Musicians please forgive me) CALLED CONCRETE POETRY

I tried

My best

And all

the rest

To learn to play guitar

I have to say it’s very sore

My fingers hurt and more

I have to know a song or so

Before July next year

I don’t think I can do it

I’m really going to it

Or maybe so I’ll give it a go

I think I stink! So what!!

I tried and died!
