What time is it? That’s right, it is time to announce the winner for the Limerick Poetry Challenge from Week 3! I am loving the response to this challenge and have so much fun reading all the entries, I thank all the participants and hope you all had fun writing them as much as I did reading ‘em!

The submissions for the week 3 challenge were all simply brilliant and some of them really intense and meaningful! As is the case every week, I had a very very difficult time trying to pick a winner! And as I always say, a challenge must have a winner! In that spirit, here we go!

And the winner of  Limerick Week 3 Challenge is…….. Daniel J. with the below limerick. Check out her full post here!

A young woman thought it’d be keen

To make a baby ‘neath Northern Lights’ sheen

And man! You will not believe

What a joy she did conceive

The child’s eyes glow purple and green!

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 Sooty: Me, Myself & CFS.

The third place goes to Kirstwrites and Colette’s One 4 Fun.

So there you go, our Top 5 limerick from Week 3, do check them out! Now that the winners have been announced, it is time for the Week 4 Challenge.

On her broom flies Wanda, the Witch

Over and over she goes up on the bridge

They said she was just too spooky

Oh, but she was a beauty

Only she looked just like the midge!
