There were once some writers on Vocal
Who complained that Haikus were total
Now they have a Limerick writing challenge
To test their wits to their advantage
And have they jumped yet into the oval?
--------------+---
I was working on some Limerick ideas, and this one popped into my head 😄.
I guess I am having as much fun coming up with Limericks as much as I did coming up with Haikus - if not more.
I am also enjoying reading, laughing about and learning from the ones already submitted.
I ofcourse will submit as many as I can come up with because I see no reason to limit my output. And I also feel motivated that I am allowed to submit as many as I would wish. Hopefully I can create enough quality ones to compile into an anthology.
I actually was not aware of Limericks before this challenge. Am I alone on this? 🤔
Oh, and I hope this one nudges you even if it's just a little to test your wits if you havn't attempted it yet. They are so much fun to create!

Author's Notes: I rediscovered my 1980's poetry magnets box and in it were two poems I find compelling. I recall having challenged myself to create two poems using the same set of words. These two poem are what spilled out. Which one resonates more with you, version A or B? Leave it in Comments. I'd love to know your thoughts!

Gossamer
"Murray! Wake up!" He loved that period between waking and dreaming. To him, it was like entering another dimension; more of a dreamscape than dreaming itself. There was an otherness to it that he wanted to grasp and yet deeply respected the fact that it could never be his totally. This is what gossamer was; flighty and light, a wisp of smokiness, an idea suggested but not fully revealed, a slit in cloth, a copse in the wood.

Ooh I like your anthology idea! How fun! 😁😁. I hadn’t thought about limericks in a very long time before this challenge!
