Last Whisper…

Sickness all encompassing, too virulent to ignore

Stealing pieces of a young life from her very core

Tears falling, he held her and clung to her hand

With love in her eyes she made her only demand

Daddy, she whispered, please smile some more…

    That’s such a poignant poem. I was particularly impressed because I can’t remember ever seeing a limerick rhyming scheme being used for anything but humor before.

      Thank you, I’d like to think I’m a trendsetter, but you should check out Dr. Meg Sorick’s site. She’s the queen of limericks, humorous or no!
