Wednesday #Poetry: Appear, Dose, Pierce

Welcome to my regular Wednesday poetry corner, brought to you by Three Word Wednesday.

Today's words are Appear, Dose, Pierce.

I saw you appear at the show
With his hand lightly on your elbow
My heart felt a pierce
Like a poison dose fierce
And all I could think was, "Please, no."

  7. Thanks for reading, everyone. As I've discussed here previously, limericks are so typically happy and funny that it can be rather jarring to put the form to a sadder or more serious purpose.

  8. Tony, I LOVE that you used this form to a sadder effect. Takes the limerick to a higher level in a way. Felt so bad for the guy... we women get those same stabs. Nicely done. Amy
