Weekly Limerick Challenge: Superstition

It's been a few weeks since I last took part in the Weekly Limerick Challenge, but this week's prompt, 'Superstition' seemed appropriate.  I recently went to see Macbeth - which has a tradition of being somehow an 'unlucky' play - at the theatre.  In fact, after I saw it, a very good friend of mine mentioned …

Weekly Limerick Challenge: Dark

Here's my contribution for the Weekly Limerick Challenge set by MindandLifeMatters - this week's is on the theme "dark": You can't sleep when the moon doesn't shine, Your fear of the dark just like mine. But some shadows are best for a peaceful night's rest - because stars don't just twinkle online.   (this Limerick …

Weekly Limerick Challenge: Lost

When's your 'creative time'?  Do you have a particular time of the day or week, or a certain place where you sit down and concentrate on writing? For me, I'm finding that the best time to come up with my contributions for the Weekly Limerick Challenge is whilst doing the ironing.  This is usually done …

Weekly Limerick Challenge: Aspire

How lovely to come in joint third on last week's Limerick Challenge! Especially in the light of so many other great entries. This week's theme is "aspire" and once again it's made me come over all political: The PM said "we must aspire, The deficit mustn't get higher." So the libraries were axed While big …

Weekly Limerick Challenge: Feral

I'm not sure this is a limerick because it doesn't scan like one, but here's my political take on this week's challenge from MindAndLifeMatters on the theme 'feral': The man in the suit was more savage by far than the mob throwing rocks at his armoured car, for his friends in high places got tax cuts …

Weekly Limerick Challenge 4: Mist

This week's contribution to MindandLifeMatters Weekly Limerick Challenge is on the theme of mist.  This got me thinking about the mental fog I have sometimes when I'm trying to write, so here's a limerick about writer's block! There are times when I sit down to write And my brain seems frozen with fright. My passion turns into a …

Weekly Limerick Challenge: Magic

It's good to be getting back into the swing of Mind and Life Matters 'Weekly Limerick Challenge'.  This week's prompt is 'magic' and there's really only one magical character who comes to mind this week: An unloved child from his earliest days But a brave man in so many ways The master of potions Inspired my …

Ho ho ho! A Limerick about the Festive Season

Due to a busy couple of weeks at work and with Christmas preparation,  I've neglected to take part in my favourite blogging challenge. But I'm back, with a festive offering on the theme of 'season' as my entry for this week's challenge from MindAndLifeMatters Rudolph said "I am not feeling jolly Never mind all this …

Weekly Limerick Challenge 6: Pride

An opportunity to write a Pride and Prejudice themed limerick? Oh yes please! It's got to be one of my favourite books ever. I love that Jane Austen's characters are so well written that she's actually made me have a crush on words on a page, rather than a real actual bloke.  Mr Darcy, even before …

Weekly Limerick Challenge: Breeze

This week's prompt for the Limerick Challenge from MindandLifeMatters was 'breeze' - quite a tricky one as it turned out. I've been mulling it over on windy walks across the fields to pick my daughter up from school, and this is what I've come up with: The stormy clouds race through the skies while the …
