Inspiration point limerick

A rethink
making the short allusion- shorter

My favourite book is of verse
With lines irreducibly terse
The poet, Miss Emily
is strong on the simile
and makes punctuation perverse.

i reread the "rethink" twice. Sorry, I must be blind. Cannot see any difference. Should I?

a rather sweet poem here, which I think quite funny.

Aah... in the posted version - which couldn't be changed I had 'incredibly terse'. I then altered it to 'irreducibly terse', simply to make the words work harder.

Thank you for your feedback Yutka- it is (should anyone wonder)about the poet Emily Dickinson.

Simile does not rhyme with Emily
