Default The Asses of Parnassus

Hi everybody,

My limerick poem about Giordano Bruno appears today at The Asses of Parnassus.

I love the light lilting voice and quick grasp of the man and the vision. I'd love to see a series of these biographical poems.

Thanks, Gail, Jim, and Siham!

Jim - That’s a good idea. I may eventually write more of these limerick poems about famous people, but I do have five of them (including this Bruno one) in my recently published book Celestial Euphony. The other characters in the book are Albert Einstein, Helen Keller, Neil Armstrong, and the Wright Brothers.

My original post here was in the wrong thread. Apologies. (I don't seem to be able to delete the subject of the post.)

Nice work, Martin!
