Excellent A Limerick Animated Stills : The Gnome by Treischel

The Gnome (A limerick) I came upon a sight not far from home A rock that looked just like a gnome A chubby little face In most unusual place Could not discern - grimace from a groan. Author Notes I see a face with chubby cheeks and a bent hat looking out of this rock. Maybe I have too wild an imagination. If you don't see it, imagine that the long crack across the front as eyebrows. and that the trapezoid impression, as a mouth area with just the hint of lips inside. Just above it is a dot of a button nose. If you see that, then you should see the hair line and the toppled hat. Chubby cheeks. Almost a Santa. Is he squinting or frowning? Oh well, just having fun. This poem is a limerick. It has the usual aabba rhyme scheme, and syllable count of 9/9/6/6/9. This photograph was taken by the author. It is one of his Animated Stills. Animated stills are poems where inanimate objects take on human, animal, or spirit forms, traits, or articles. They are derived from Photographs I have taken, that have moved me to write a poem associated with it. When I write enough, I'll publish a book of them.
