Children Start-Out In The Womb.
The Aging End-Up In The Tomb.
Destruction Of Either
Benefits Neither.
As Life For Both Ends Much Too Soon.

Short, sweet and to the point. I love a poem like that. So few words invoke so many feelings and thoughts. Thank you

There's nothing much more to say: you captured the essence of it. Well done, absurdly condescending as it is for a novice such as I to say so to you.
Posted: Mar 22, 2007
What can I say ..... everyone else has said it all. I really love the way you write

A delightful limerick; an entertaining look at the human condition from birth to death; nicely done. --Joe

FANTASTIC.
A wonderful theme to choose, and then to slap it in the light-hearted limerick formula, beautiful!

I liked how you used a form usually used for light and quirky poems and used it for something serious. It also worked rather well for me, which is something I haven't found that often. Good work.
