I’ll see what I can do with this one. In the meantime, here’s a POEM about a crazy aunt. I put these lines together in response to a few other prompts, as you can tell from the note at the top of the post:

CAUGHT TO THE QUICK, at Nickers and Ink

Blessings all,
Linda

PS: I will circle back, if I can come up with a LIMERICK and/or HAIKU.

Crazy aunts is an instant classic. Very fun! It’s one to be posted on the fridge.

she scoff at conventions with glee?
Fail to act quite her age?
Give advice strangely sage?

These are great descriptions of the aunt I visited a couple days ago! This made me smile!

I love it!
“In my fam’ly, the crazy aunt’s me.”

In my family the crazy mother-grandma-sister-(and yes)-aunt would be me.

I really like the limerick! Don’t get me wrong, the haiku is great, too! But the limerick…very funny!

those are both great! the first makes me giggle a lot - I am sure I’ll have time for this (since I too will be wrangling tax returns that I’ve yet to start!) so I’ll be back with poems later.
