Freeform Friday: “Each drop”

When I hear from you no more,
the rains will speak your name
and each drop will be a memory of you.

Freeform Friday II: Limerick: “Poet from Maine”

There once was a poet from Maine
whose haiku would cause others in vain
to say that they could do, too,
the verse and rhythm that he knew,
but it drove many who attempted insane.

Freeform Friday: Limerick: “Rears”

The once was a woman from Tangiers
who had trouble with buying her brassieres.
Every time she tried to pay
they’d send her away,
saying she had too much in arrears.

Thirteen is a lonely number

I hardly know ya, /
Triskaidekaphobia. /
Afraid to hold ya. /

Joe Friday, detective

It's Friday, Friday the Thirteenth. Just the facts, ma,am.

I have just told ya, /
Triskaidekaphobia. /
I hardly know ya. /

Just the facts, you say, /
Triskaidekaphobia./
Will make you go away. /

But you’re here to stay. /
triskaidekaphobia. /
For the entire day. /

So I might just play, /
Triskaidekaphobia. /
On this fine Friday: /
Triskaidekaphobia
