Lover
Looking out one day for a lover
Our lass, a young lad did discover
Very next day
Each wanted to play
Rolling naked together in clover

This is a good one gardenlover...I have a similar one which I called acrostic-tanka. Check this out: http://www.engrvv.wix.com/acrostic-tanka

I will definitely be back for this.

CLIFF

Come with me to my island paradise
Let's make love until sunrise
Inflame me with your desire
Forever I'll set you on fire
From the top only you can surmise!

I like your acrostic-tanka. It has potential for a future competition

Thanks gardenlover. I already did the competition last year, which was won by Magdalena. If you clicked on other poets on that site, you will see contributions from the others too.

Hi, never did this before, but would like to try the ambitious route...here goes

Music Player Play Me

Melody
Usually is nice, but
Slowly turns
Icy because she eats
Cookies in the night like fresh meat

Please
Let me lay you down
And
You will know
Enormous joys
Robin's egg blue

Pretty birds
Labour in love
As usual, nice
You

Man
Eater, shame on YOU

GROMA

Great pleasure for me that this old technical word
Remains in memories, lovely glamor of another world
Often, new equipments deny their origin in silence
Meanwhile, they mark the end of the poetry in science
Are a true deny of their historical original word


Groma is a Roman surveying instrument having plumb lines hanging from four arms at right angles

NADIR

Nevertheless not really used, a sort of anti-
Azimuth, more used when observing the sky
Devil kingdom opposite to God paradise?
I never associate to these images, just a device
Relative to measurement in the fields and industry!


Nadir is the point of the celestial sphere, directly opposite the zenith; inferior pole of the horizon; point of the celestial sphere directly under the place where we stand.)

GABYY

Goddess of my beating heart
Adoring souls never apart
Beauty of my life, my dear
Yes, always thinking near
Yes, forever, my sweetheart

Reading the last poem by Magdalena, I understand that I have to correct all mines... Not limericks, just acrostics! Only to offer other texts, because, in front of the queen of Acrostic Limerick, I feel small writer!!!
