A Short Letter (Limerick) by Ranger Today a note came through my door
From a friend I've know since long before
She said "let us not fight
For that would not be right
Yours truly now and for evermore"
I puzzled it through in my head
Thrice more its contents I read
I endeavoured to try
To write in reply
"I don't hate you but love you instead"
I wish I were Byron or Chaucer
But I would not want words to force her
Lest we should forget
What it means to regret
For at night these words seem so much coarser

'for at night these words seem so much coarser'...totally true...9
this reminds me of my college crush...Alfred Magnanimi...a short, stocky, blue-eyed, Italian stallion....man I loved that kid...his ideas of saying I love you was I hate you....ahhhhhh...going down memory lane.......anyway good read...8
no way. they seem smooth at night. in the morning is when you brainsmack yourself and groan, jeez, what was i thinkin'?
you were drinkin' not thinkin', my friend. that being said, this is sweetly done.
You wish you were Chaucer? Have you ever read Chaucer? The buggere can't spelle to save his life!!!!!!!11 lol! lmao! rotfl! HYUK HYUK! asl?
Fuck yeah
undemanding ditty, this rocked my cradle gently (7) farewell rangerdude
The rhyme of Chaucer and force her made me laugh, which is saying a lot. Good work. But I still have to nullify you (get it?) Zero.e
Why, oh why must you nullify me?
OKay, the joke was that you asked me to stop anonymously voting zeroes. So I came and voted zeroes but not anonymously. GET IT?? 10.
I hate self righteous holier-tha-thou people too. Especially the pope. Cummon, he jacked off as a kid too. U'd better believe it.
Fuck. Face.
Butt. Munch.
nit witty, but succinct. bravo.
Wasn't Byron lame and portly? Don't get me started on Chaucer.
Pretty nice!!

I liked this right up till "so much coarser"!
The rythm is a simplistic one, the rhymes predictable, but it's good, anyway! I would respectfully suggest a fitting ending, that would do this justice.
I tripped over some extra syllables on some lines. Felt a bit awkward for a limerick.
At first I thought, "Byron or Chaucer"? Why not choose authors who used the limerick? But then, the speaker isn't wishing he were a limerick writer - he's wishing he were more eloquent than the simple limerick. 371 view(s)
