Limerick
Blood Red Lilly
This limerick was inspired by RMS's challenge, which I listed below! Enjoy! 🔴🕷🌹 Hello all, gather around! Allow me to impart knowledge that's not talk of the town. Now what I say might sound silly, But my tale involves the red spider lily. And its truth that's quite profound. 🔴🕷🌹 Called Lycoris radiata by science, but Japanese Hell Flower by others, With chilling tales that made many hide under covers. They appear after a rough hurricane season, But let me tell you a reason To fear its elegant colors. 🔴🕷🌹 Where these love lillies sprout, There isn't any doubt That dark spiritual energy will grow, summoning the undead to the surface. Boiling the Underworld's furnace. As the unholy departed meander about. 🔴🕷🌹 What can be done, you ask? Keeping the undead at bay is an impossible task! Honestly, the best I can recommend, Is to grab some prayer beads and make an amend, For anything that isn't a positive bask. 🔴🕷🌹 Surely, something can be done? Oh dear listener, you'd better be gone, If you see this hellish flower in your back yard Saving your soul isn't too hard. When you pray and run! 🔴🕷🌹

Ride Them Fast
There once was a horse, quite brash, Who loved to strut with flair and flash. With a kick and a snort, He’d cause quite the sort, Leaving riders to laugh in a clash. In fields where the daisies would sway, He'd gallop around for the play. But his stubborn old heart, Would often depart, When asked for a trot on the way. With his mane like a wild golden crown, He'd prance with pride all over town. But alas! What’s the cost? To be deemed just an ass? As he strutted around wearing frown.

All the Sweet Things
Here I am with yet another wonderful limerick about my favorite month of the year: October. Please enjoy! 🍂🎃☕ Can you feel it? The crisp breeze in the air? Crunchy leaves that I stomp upon without a care? Warm sweaters and hot apple cider by the mug, But you know what wraps me in a big, comfy hug? Mountains of candy, with plenty to share! 🍂🎃☕ I drool thinking the succulent treats crinkling in the shopping bag. Kit-Kats, Snickers, Peppermint Patties, and Reese's Pumpkins are what I like to snag. Might grab a few bags of Lindt Maple Cremes, Finding popcorn balls is harder than it seems, And no, I don't worry about the price tag! 🍂🎃☕ But you know what's really sweet? Something that truly can't be beat? Giving away my bountiful feast, Sharing with those I hate least, And now, my fall fantasy is complete! 🍂🎃☕

Black Cat Blasphemy
The following poem serves as a writing prompt for RMS's challenge, which I will list below. Please enjoy! 🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛ Back in the day, we were worshipped as gods among men! Fast forward to the 13th century, and what then? We're Satanic and evil; bad luck to be crossed Treating us like garbage that should be tossed! Why can't people love black cats again? 🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛ We're witches familiars? That's news to me! All I wanted was to be wild and free! Now look at my kind, Domesticated out of our mind, While humans take pictures for all to see. 🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛ Am I evil? No, I'm a lover. The worst thing I'll do is tear up your cover! Or maybe hunt a mouse, Bring it into the house, Showing off my pride as a hunter, while my mommy finds a last-minute glover! 🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛
