Tryst (Limerick) by <~>

Caught in a current, carried Under the moonlight, tarried Washed by the wind Cleansed by our sin Why should I care that you're married?

Hmmm. I was always taught that if you are too close to it, save it for later to avoid the dramatic sentiment. But this, writer of triangle poems, is interesting. I agree with GW. I laughed a bit on first reading. But I think it was the general rhyme scheme. I think somewhere in our head we are programmed to think limericks as being funny. The only thing that confused me on the first couple of reads is the land images mixing with water images, but that could be questioning if this is something grounded or skirting. Who knows? Reading too much into it, I suppose.
