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…

Word Power
These words feel physical, It’s a lyrical miracle. Poets with messages, Rhymes as beverages. It’s a limerickal!

Listen To The Kids
A timely treatment that tackles torturous turmoil, Then tactfully tells the truth through therapeutic talking… That there’s treasure to a terrified troubled teen,

To My Fellow Dinosaur Nerds Out There
The fossils have told us stories of beasts not entirely unfamiliar, but not human in the least. Some have horns, others solar panels on spines,

Under the Pig Roast Tent
I have seen a lot over the years— I am rented for the same events constantly, if only I had ears. For none of the events held beneath me quite compare to this one,

Rise or Set?
When I stop and think of the Sun, I wonder whether I prefer when it's almost up or almost gone? Is it the promise it will return,
