POEM: Lifeshine
This is my production for the CPC Magic Monday poetry challenge, where the theme is Spring sunshine. A “Baskerick” is a form of Limerick I made up for this challenge, “bask” relating to sunshine in a Limerick format without the first two lines rhyming. It is similar to and a wordplay on another format I developed a few years ago called the “Basterick” or bastard Limerick.
LIFESHINE
A Baskerick
Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows
are the stuff of childhood dreams.
Although dark clouds may block
even stop dreamland’s clock,.
you can still capture many sunbeams.
Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows
will oftentimes seem out of reach.
But life is worth living
for loving and giving
the lessons we learn and can teach.
Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows
will please your inner child no end.
If you keep your heart true
heed the voice inside you
never suffering falsehood’s pretend.
