I've borrowed the form to tell a story, linking up three limericks, rather like the Japanese poets link up tankas, but I am aware this is a divergence from the rules. Sometimes the writing of limericks reminds me of writing tankas, in counting syllables, staying to five lines, varying the line length and trying to find the elusive element. In Limericks, the humorous surprise. In tanka's, the epiphany revealed by nature. Thanks for sharing Michelle's limerick. I liked it. What a challenge to write a limerick from a magazine cover.Brenda at FriendlyFairyTaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13368709489341876324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740307479750463845.post-81725138881024641732017-03-18T19:12:30.287-04:002017-03-18T19:12:30.287-04:00Violet, you totally rock!
