Limerick


                                                    

I recently tried my hands on Limerick. As you must be knowing, a Limerick is a 5 line poem with the rhyme pattern as AABBA. This is my first limerick, that I offer to you all:

 

One man jumped off the cliff

After he had a tiff

In the mid-air did he realize

There awaited a big surprise

 He hits hard and dies, what-if

Going insane...

 

Wandering alone, living to die 

Unable to breath, however I try 

Shattering my heart, killing my soul 

Facing the truth, how do I lie?

Searching for love, meaning of life 

Losing myself in endless strife 

Groping in dark, writhing in pain 

(It) Pierces my heart, cuts like a knife

 Cannot walk out, cannot sustain 

Fighting hard, but seems all in vain 

Love is real or mere mirage 

Craving n parching, going insane
