There once was a cat named Whisper
With eyes the color of pewter
Mischievous her smile
Spinning round woodpile
Playing with grandma’s new dentures

This is my 1st attempt at writing a Limerick! 😀
As I surf among favorite and new blogs, I make note of forms of poetry which intrigue me, and I want to try “my hand” at creating … one day.
Some forms I immediately try … other forms, although they intrigue me, and I want to try them, I avoid even attempting the form. Yet, I keep them on the list because I still want to try … One Day!! 😀
I admire those who have the gift and knack for quick witty writing, i.e. limericks. You may have surmised … this is a form I have been avoiding. 😀 Determined to address my unreasonable fear … I decided to make at least an attempt!! (I mean … really, what is it going to do to me? – LOL)
Although it is not my particular style of writing or fits my creative personality, I can say:
- I tackled it and
- I can scratch it off my list of “forms to try!”
Whew!! LOL … next

A blogger, the writer named Becca,
was drawn to her writing like Mecca.
She poemed all the time,
but when short of a rhyme
she’d just grin big and say, “What the hecka?”

Limericks always have come to me easily. I don’t usually work at them, but I often leave them as comments in blogs. 😉 I think my dad had something to do with developing my “talent” – he loved puns, and we always were playing word games and making rhymes.
