Holy Proselytizing (Limerick)
Since I’m a devout agnostic, my response to Writer’s Digest’s latest poetry prompt essentially wrote itself. Here’s the prompt:

And here’s my limerick:

Very true. And, as always, so well said.
This was perfection…the minute I saw the prompt, my mind went to a whole different place – lol! I think your take on the prompt was much nicer (and cleaner).
