No Time To Say Hello, Goodbye… (Limerick & Haiku Prompt)
Today’s limerick and haiku theme is time. First, my limerick:
No Time To Say Hello, Goodbye…
By Madeleine Begun Kane
I’m late and I can’t miss this train!
It’s arrived, and I’m here, yet in vain:
I must climb down these stairs,
But some guys, broad as bears,
Have me blocked—all my plans down the drain.
And now it’s time for my time-related haiku:
Time passes too fast.
I’d surely bitch about it,
If I just had time.
And now it’s your turn. Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to write a limerick or haiku (or both) about time. When you’ve posted your verse, please return here and add a direct link to your themed poetry, using Mr. Linky.
(If you need some tips on limerick or haiku writing, I link to some helpful sites here.)

Foreign food is the best thing about traveling.
I love a good shower when I’m cold.
I often use metaphors.
I’m read…
I had a tough time with the limerick this week. I came up with two, and neither is really satisfying.
Madeline, loved both of yours, I am glad I got to play this time…
Loved the Haiku/Limerick prompt. Will do again! Have added you to my blogroll.
love your haiku as usual.
and as usual I’m late but manage to write a limerick.
Here’s my Haiku (with a limerick caption):

You will probably notice a common theme, at least chronologically speaking. I will be posting both to my blog too.
