I've noticed a trend and it's new,

The writers stopped writing haiku,

The haiku is now dead,

It's limericks instead,

A challenge, that's what we should do!

    limericks all the way... I do wonder if this is the next big trend on Vocal. Congratulations

    Like so many others, including Vocal who didn't bother to mention it, a Limerick also has syllable rules that follow a pattern: 8 8 5 5 8 Yours has come the closest.... So once again the rules don't apply and what people are submitting & receiving praise for are not really limericks. I wrote about the proper form.

  • I knew it, I knew it, I knew it! Congratulations on your Top Story :)
