Rock, Paper and Scissors
The scissors are beaten by the rock
Man made steel has been left in shock
Now the rock has been beat
By a flimsy light sheet
The winning paper is where our words talk

Hello, James, your submission here seems to fall into the limerick format but then again not really, since limerick is, 9, 9, 6, 6, 9 in syllable count with the rhyming just as you have it here............ your poem is very creative. Sheri
ReplyDeleteJames,
ReplyDeleteI love the thought too apart from the style. Thanks much.
This is very thought provoking because when life seems to beat us down so many of us forget the power of the sheet of paper (or words as your poem states). Writing has always been my most powerful tool in handling life's emotion's, both good and bad, so this one really speaks to me. Thank you.

Dear James,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this clever limerick on Rock, Paper, Scissors and how the power of words can move the largest of rocks out of the way. Well done and thanks for sharing!
