Patience



One step at a time, dear love
Pin drop silence, no not shove
Eat your morsel, then feed,
No two tasks at once, pay heed.
With patience awaits the friendly dove!

My second attempt at limerick on the new prompt from Mad Kane
Comments and criticisms please.
Any improvement from the first limerick?
I also added this in response to the Totally Optinoal Prompt.
Follow me here for the haiku for Mad Kane.

Looks like a limerick to me, and a fine piece of poetry.

Nice! Thanks so much for joining in on my prompt.

Just a couple of suggestions. I've added one syllable to L1 and two syllables to L2 to maintain the triple feel. (I've indicated the added syllables in all caps.) I've also cut some syllables from L4 and 1 syllable from L5:

One step at a time, MY dear love.
Pin drop silence, no PLEASE DO not shove.
Eat your morsel, then feed,
Don't multitask! Heed.
With patience awaits the sweet dove!

This one strikes a chord with me as I tend to try to do eight things at once and get ahead.
