Speaking Of Life... by Bipedalguy

Life's a fall from a high mountain top.
Birth at the top, death, the sudden stop.
Some scream all the way down,
hit the ground oozing brown,
having missed the great view as they drop.

good one bip
Sometimes we are only thinking of whats going to happen to notice what is happening at the moment. Good write to let us know pay attention to the now!

Barb, You nailed it.
Your comment hits the nail on the head. It says perfectly the philosophy that I was trying to build into the Limerick.
Somerimes it's a challenge to build a message into a Limerick, with only five lines, two of which have only six beats.

Thanks. Robert
I'm glad you fell for this one. Luckily, not from a mountain top.
I've read some really good writes of yours. Keep it up. Bip
