“You are moving too much. Please hold still,”
Said a seamstress while sewing a frill
On a dress that was drab
And would never be fab,
Though it WOULD #yield a fabulous bill.

I’ve a #limerick notion — a #glimmer.
It is shimmering. Damn! Now it’s dimmer.
My poor brain’s filled with frost,
And my rhyme primer’s lost.
My slim odds of success have grown grimmer.

For spring,Tom decided to clean
The messiest car that he'd seen
Hockey sticks and a puzzle
Several bags and a shovel
And that record he lost as a teen!

Termesphere Gallery has hanging, turning spheres in several sizes with a variety of scenes painted on them.
Happy Sunday! More about Termes in the first comment
Dick Termes thinks life is a ball,
He makes art you won’t find at the mall.
His wonder-filled spheres
Turn with scenes crystal clear.
His Termespheres surely enthrall!

Is age just a number? Who knows?
Some say “yes.” Others suff’ring the woes
Of senescence will wage
A war against age,
To disguise the “gifts” aging bestows.
Happy Age Is Just A Number Day! (March 22)

White water falls down a rock cliff into a creek
Happy Sunday!
White water falls down the rock face,
Like a bridal veil covered with lace.
Down the aisle it splashes,
It pours and it dashes
To meet its belov’d creek with grace.

When equinox time came again
Tom readied himself for spring zen
But the slush and the mud
And the threat of a flood
Had him wishing for ice skates again

Snow filled yard with wooden fence and trees, snow blowing in the air
Happy Sunday!
On this fourth Sunday in Lent,
Much preparation’s been spent
Writing sermons and prayers,
Honing anthems and airs,
But from heaven, a blizzard’s been sent!

Happy St Patrick’s Day in advance and please enjoy our contribution to #limerickSunday
The green beer had started to flow
The fiddlers had tuned up their bows
Could a turkey be plucky
'Stead of rounded and plucky
Tom jigged 'cause he needed to know

Give #peace a chance… #LimerickSunday
Squirrel in a leafless deciduous tree, chattering at me and fluffing its tail
Happy Sunday!
To hear this preposterous squirrel scold
Is really a sound to behold.
He defends the yard
Just like an armed guard.
Don’t worry, we’ll do as we’re told!

Tom joined in his friends' March for peace
They hoped that the wars would all cease
We want flowers, not guns
For our daughters and sons
And may worldwide kindness increase

So migraine has kept me in bed
with a large pack of ice on my head.
I missed #LimerickSunday
and now it is Monday
and my good weekend vibes are all dead.
Drum and Banjo did NOT get along,
Each believing the other was wrong.
But two brothers’ great minds
Helped them boldly combine!
Their collab was a beautiful song.
#limericksunday with bonus points to anybody who knows the band that inspired this! #poetry #kidlit #poem #limerick
The old idiom "fresh as a daisy"
Always strikes me as odd, even crazy.
No one's used it for me,
And I'm glad, cuz I'd see
Wilting plants, looking shriveled & lazy.

The beach resort sounded just grand
The snorkeling, sun, and the sand
But roasting in the sun
Made Turkey Tom overdone
So he stayed in and rocked with the band

Forgot all about #limericksunday
So observing it on this fine Monday
I’m writing again
(Although not with a pen)
And a writing day’s always a fun day!

Though a fellow who often looked pensive,
Was presumed to have brilliance extensive,
He was av'rage, at best.
But he practiced with zest
"Resting smart face," his zeal comprehensive.

Formal English garden with brick wall in background. Frozen pond with leaves frozen into the water in foreground. Dried flowers mounded in a pedestal urn in the middle of the pond.
Happy Sunday!
The garden in winter is still,
A walk there will give you a chill,
Frozen leaves, frozen water,
Dried bouquet in the pot there,
Quiet beauty with elegant frills.

Challenge accepted! Here's a limerick for #LimerickSunday after a weekend spent watching the Olympics.
#poetry #poetrycommunity #poem
And so Tom's Olympics career
Ended faster than frat rats chug beer.
His wings now in plaster
Tom knew he could master
A gobbling GO TEAM!! turkey cheer.
Yay for diehard couch-thletes!!!!

Tom gave it a roll of the die,
How bad could it be??? uh-oooooooh, my!!!!
He slipped over the lip
With a 1020 flip
As feathers flew into the sky.

Tom studied Olympic events,
gobbling his turkey's lament.
His skills were not suited
He'd surely be booted,
From snow-boarding's half-pipe descent.

But Tom was a failure at broom
His wings flapped too weakly to groom
the curling sheet's ice
once—twice—and then thrice.
Tom curling career was thus doomed.

There's something about a turkey doing luge that makes me smile. But what about....
Tom perched on his sofa with tea
watching Thiessen curl rocks on TV.
He felt so inspired
and no longer tired,
so he started a rock-sliding spree.

Who else is watching Olympics on #LimerickSunday ?? ⛸️
I'm not skilled at detecting "wine #notes,"
Be they cedar, vanilla, or oats.
I will NEVER know whether
A wine tastes like leather...
But I DO know which wines get my votes.

Well aware that his rich aunt would #savor
Chole Masala — her favorite flavor,
Greedy Greg bought her lunch
At an Indian brunch.
His goal was (of course) curry favor.

Inspired by the sports on TV
Tom wondered how hard luge could be
Swooshing down on the sled
Filled his bird heart with dread
He retired to his sofa with glee
