To Emote, Or Not To Emote — That Is The Question (Limerick)
Three Word Wednesday asks us to use these three words in a poem: Emotion, Falter, and Touch.
To Emote, Or Not To Emote — That Is The Question (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
There are poets who write with emotion,
Touching readers with depth and devotion.
Such approach makes me falter
And muse: Must I alter
My whimsy? A risible notion!

No, never ‘alter your whimsy’…..your rhymes delight me so…..
would make me laugh as well…risible, a cool word…write as you wish to write…i would say you garner emotion…at least the pain in my cheeks tells me so…smiles.
My ex-husband is tall, fair and Dutch
And doesn’t lack the common touch.
Without a falter
He leapt to the alter
Full of emotion
And not in slow motion
If you wish. but keep the limerick too to knock it down a peg or two–like you just did!
no always write like you.
my whimsy a risible motion – great line and very
charming poem.
Writing with whimsy and humor — excellent emoting by my definition! I smiled at this one. I find limericks difficult so am aways impressed. Thanks for coming to Poetry Jam!
Always entertaining! I love it!
You’re a wonderful whimsy! Reading you is refreshing, MK!
LOVED it! Totally loved it! And I came to know a new word, ‘risible’. :D
Thank you for the nice read! :)
I don’t know about you but I find comic writing comes more easily in verse and ‘the deep stuff’ needs less structure. I must say, for your eyes only, I find quite a lot of ‘deep stuff’ rather pretentious!
Keep doing what you do best Madeleine!
There is emotion in your whimsy: the joy it brings to the readers. Keep smiling :)
Very clever to fit these in with the 3WW prompt words. Well done ;)
delightful!

Love this! Laughter and joy are quite important in the emotional spectrum, and you make delivering them seem so effortless!
Emotions falter
Common touches without grace
Romney on Parade
Faltering touches
Emotion without substance
Obama’s failures
