“Surprise me!”she often said.
Two words that filled him with dread.
No matter the choosing
he ended up losing.
Now she does the planning instead!

A limerick for my friend Rashmi at Mind and Life Matters who gave us the prompt “surprise” for this week’s Limerick Poetry Challenge. If you’d like to read others or participate, click HERE.
Some will light a Yule Log on a wintry Solstice night
Others a Menorah or Advent Wreath of candlelight
Merry Christmas some will say
Or wish you Happy Holidays
All sentiments of hope for peace, with wishes warm and bright. ❤️

We hide inside our homes to winter o’er these shorter days
And languish through the frigid cold ‘neath dreary skies of gray
If not for promises of spring
We might lose hope in everything
So wake me when the first bloom blooms…until then, go away!

My friend Rashmi at MindandLifeMatters gave us the prompt “Seasons” for this week’s Limerick Challenge. I have to say I spent alot of time chewing on this one. I have no trouble waxing poetic on the topic of Seasons in free verse…or even Haiku, but when it came to crafting a proper limerick…it had me stumped. Here’s my best attempt. Have a great week everyone! If you would like to have a go at this challenge, click HERE. 🙂
A Limerick for the Seasons
Summertime sizzles and Autumn leaves fall,
Winter winds chill and Spring blooms enthrall,
Each season in order,
A year drawn in quarters,
Nature’s perfection inspires us all!kat ~ 7 December 2015

Rashmi from mindandlifematters has presented us this week with a sublime Limerick Challenge. The prompt: Love. And I think, what more could be written that has not already been penned on this topic? My Limerick then, borrows a touch from one of the greats…with a bit of my own words…I hope he doesn’t mind our collaboration! 🙂

In a million small ways, she inhabits his days
Her eyes, how they smile when he catches their gaze
There’s no doubt he was smitten
From the words he has written…
“How I love thee…let me count the ways!”
