Ghostly Limerick
Ghostly Limerick
By Madeleine Begun Kane
There are those who like being a ghost —
Not the dead kind. Who wants to be toast?
I mean writers whose name
Gets no credit (or blame.)
Here’s my problem with that: You can’t boast.

ghostest with the leastest
And a very spooky coincidence!!!!
interesting take on the prompt….I very much enjoyed it….put a smile on my face :-)
Thanks Rinkly and Sherry!
That was brilliant, Madeleine…everything a limerick should be!
Loved it!
What a lovely thing to say, Lynette! Thanks!
Interesting interpretation. Most of us amateur writers feel like ghosts. You’re not the only one.
Something that has occurred to me before now, but I never turned it into anything! Well done.
*snort*
Well, honey, I know I’m the best, even though it may take the rest of the world a few days to catch up to speed!
(wink)
can’t boast, not the dead one,
divine.
powerful piece.
You know, I wouldn’t mind being a ghost
Through haunted mansions I would coast.
Flying around and saying Boo
Creepy sounds with old shoes
I’d start with the House of Congress; they need it the most.
Oh this is clever! I love it.
It’s so fun to see the different directions poets take in response to the prompts. This is very creative!
Maybe it is a self-esteem issue, Madeleine.
I like where you went with this prompt.
Thanks so much to all of you for your nice words about my ghostly verse.
This was fun, you did a great job~
Thanks, Ella!
