Limericks and verses are easy to rehearse
with the passage of time in your mind.
Each verse each stanza may romance us
but beware of the temptation you may lose
sensation of the conversation while waiting
in the terminal of hesitation.
The pallet of an artist full of smears of the color
he holds dear to make his canvas true to his style
one misplaced stroke can erase a smile and
produce tears.
To the poet the same is true of knowing when
you are through one more verse one more stanza
and the romance is through.
