Peter

Peter

A Poem by Tiffany Kelley
"

Just a silly little piece I wrote for my CW class. :)

"

Peter was a man hooked on drugs,

He had it so bad, he looked in his rugs,

He was constantly broke,

Known as the town joke,

But he was always giving free hugs.

i really like this one! makes me think off all the people i see eveyday that i just want to reach out a giving hand to, but if i do i know they will be mad at me. they want to live that way and i respect that, but it hurts me to see someone a cold winter night die just because they didn't took my hand :/ anyway great poem! one love

Nice little poem.

I've never quite enjoyed limericks and any other blatantly funny poems (I do love the subtle dry humor of Billy Collins). But this was great. The contrast in the last line is an absolute winner.

I don't know if you count rhythm, but let me alter the poem a little bit according to rhythm (I'm not changing the meaning in any way):

Peter was a man who was hooked on drugs.
He had it so bad, he looked in his rugs;
he was constantly broke,
and known as the town joke,
but he was always giving out free hugs.

Take it, or scrap it. Keep writing.

Aw yay!
Entertaining little limerick. The light quality of the final line almost negated the destitution of the previous ones, made for an interesting bit of perspective. Cool little poem. :)

I love the last line. Especially since it is based off true life.
Interesting limerick. I like the "tragedy with a smile" here. Very bittersweet.
