My Ludicrous Limericks Challenge
As the Ludicrous Limericks Challenge comes to a close, I’m happy Vocal came up with this one! My love for haikus have gone to another level, and now I think limericks will be added to my list of favorite writing styles. Many of the limericks I wrote were silly, but I also wanted to experiment with different types of humor, like dark humor and sarcasm. I think I actually got better the more I wrote. Some of my personal favorites are “Come Back Home,” “Between The Lines,” “Change For Change,” and “Potty Talk!” But, I’m biased. Just like the Time Capsule Challenge, I’ve compiled all my submissions here for everyone to read! Enjoy, and good luck to everyone looking to win this time around…

My Time Capsule Haiku Challenge
Another Vocal challenge is over! The Time Capsule Haiku Challenge was amazing, and it made me really proud of my growth in poetry over the last few months. I enjoyed the theme of “time” and all the ways I could tackle it. If you know my writing, then you know that I typically turn every challenge into a way I can bring attention to life as a Black person, and I did that a lot this time around. Now that the winners are all announced, I wanted to have a place where all my submissions “lived.” This may be something that I do specifically for the poetry challenges for me, but I’m hoping a few of you subscribers may appreciate it too (can’t believe I actually have subscribers now). Enjoy, and congratulations everyone who participated and the winners…
