It is Friday noon here and that means I am already late to announce the winner for the Limerick Poetry Week 2 Challenge. I am loving the response to this challenge and had so much fun reading all the entries, I thank all the participants and hope you all had as much fun writing them as much as I did reading!
The submissions for the week 2 challenge were all beautiful and some of them with amazing pictures to complement the limerick! As was the case last week, I had a very difficult time trying to pick a winner, but a challenge must have a winner (yes, I always say that!) In that spirit, here we go!
And the winner is… Our very own NJ of Ametalk with the below limerick. Check out her full post here!
I hoped for a lovelorn kiss.
But you took me to a heavenly bliss.
Tears rolled down my cheeks.
As, I won’t be able to see you for weeks.
Your presence is surely,what I am gonna miss.
The winner may contact me on mindandlifematters@gmail.com to claim the complimentary gift certificate.
The second place is shared by Sometimes Stellar Storyteller Nicola and Dr. Meg Sorick.
The third place goes to Anand of Blabberwockying and Indira’s Blog.
Do check out the Top 5 limericks, I am sure you will not be disappointed!
Now that the winners have been announced, it is time for the Week 3 Challenge. The Prompt for this week is “Believe”
The rules of this challenge:
- Each week, a prompt (A Word) will be supplied and participants are to use this prompt as a base for their limericks.
- Participants can opt to either use the word (prompt) itself or a synonym of the word to use in their limerick. This is a MUST. Either the word or a synonym of the word must be a part of your limerick!
- This challenge will run from Thursday to Thursday, and you may add your limerick anytime during these specific days.
- Please tag your Limerick with: Limerick Poetry Challenge post so that others interested can check out your limerick (This step is important).
- Add your story’s URL to this website’s comments. (This step is also important so I will know who has participated).
- If you are interested in participating in this challenge, please follow this blog site to receive instant email notifications of the post with the Word prompts for each week.
- The main purpose of this challenge is to have fun and learn. Those who are able to mentor and help others grow in their writing; you are encouraged to do so. All constructive feedback should be communicated in a kind and helpful manner AND received in a welcoming manner.
- All Limericks for Week 3 Challenge are due in by Thursday, October 29, 2015.
- The winner for the challenge will be announced in a post next Thursday. The winner will receive a complimentary Amazon Gift Certificate from Mind and Life Matters! Please contact me on mindandlifematters@gmail.com to claim the prize!
- WELCOME TO MIND AND LIFE MATTERS LIMERICK POETRY CHALLENGE!
Finally, here is my take on the prompt:
An old man with a beard
Cried all day, for he feared
All that was left, was for him to grieve
‘Coz he would never believe
This world was anything but weird!

Hallo again 🙂 it’s a bit early for Hallowe’en but this is a combined challenge post and five Limerick verses to make my poem – I can’t seem to stop at writing just one Limerick once I get going, I do wish it was like that with other forms I’m trying. Anyway, here it is, not so late this time https://dragrun.wordpress.com/2015/10/24/spirited-beliefs/ Hope you’re all having a great weekend 🙂
