Love at First Whisper

Two ears that were meant to hear,
Fell in love at first whisper, so sincere
They listened and knew
Their love was true
And forever, their ears will hear

This limerick tells the story of two people who fall in love at first whisper.

The poem uses imagery of love and attraction to convey the idea of the couple’s instant connection.

The poem has a light-hearted and romantic tone.

The first and second lines introduce the characters and their initial attraction, the third and fourth lines describe their actions and the final line gives the conclusion of the story.
