Each Wednesday, I compose a limerick based on the prompt from Three Word Wednesday. Today's words are: cling, murmur, taken
Open the pod bay doors, Hal.
Oh, wait... the "doomed astronaut" thing isn't very good book promotion, is it? How about this:

Poetry on the Fly: Limericks Inspired by Three Word Wednesday
"They made me laugh, they made me sad, they made me think and squirm and reflect. ... Tony Noland has a way with words that is nothing short of astonishing" - Jeff Posey, Amazon review
That's right, FREE. Of course, if you're not in Amazon Prime, it still only costs $0.99. That's less than a coffee. And I'm not talking Starbuck's, I'm talking about the burnt mud they sell at the convenience store. It's worth the buck - you'll love it!

Shocked murmur, a dusty old birder;
a corpse 'mid the crows - no one heard her.
With dread poison taken,
She'll never awaken.
Crows cling to her: suicide-murder

This is my favourite of your limericks (so far). Funny, creepy, and there are crows. Really, what more can one ask for in a poem?
ReplyDeleteWhat a limerick Tony..I am here after a long time..but then happy that I am..Thanks..for the magic..
ReplyDeleteOh what a visual image you create....
ReplyDeleteI loved it.
Very clever suicide murder.LOL
ReplyDeleteClever use of words.
ReplyDeletewow - not familiar with your 3WW limericks, but thoroughly enjoyed this one....a light-hearted funeral dirge!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by - feel free to come back any time!
DeleteThanks for reading, everyone - I'm glad you liked it!
ReplyDeleteI really liked this piece. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteI loved the way you introduced the collective word for crows which is a "murder" in this piece. By fair means or foul she ended up doing what she loved after all.
ReplyDeleteVery crisp and clever. But quite macabre in its way.
