Many limericks start as a lark.
Some are spurred by a devilish spark,
That’s set off by a word
Or a phrase that’s absurd.
How to end them? I’m oft in the dark.

The Limerick-Writing Life
Thursday, June 11th, 2026Inspiration (Limerick)

You must use it or lose it,
And never abuse it.
So play with that notion. Let loose!
The Battle To Write (Limerick)
Thursday, April 30th, 2026It is quarter to four and I still
Haven’t written a thing: output nil!

With some lame wordplay farts…
So here’s hoping this verse fills the bill.
Dear Muse (Limerick)
Wednesday, October 29th, 2025“I am sorry to say that I feel
Your ideas are far from ideal.

To produce a good rhyme,
So this ‘muse’ deal must end. (It’s been real.”)
Where’s “The Funny?” (Limerick)
Wednesday, February 12th, 2025How I love to write lim’ricks amusing!
But with news so depressing and bruising,
I’m confined to a tonic
Of verse that’s sardonic.
Blame my Muse! (She’s morose, so she’s snoozing.)
Gratitude? (Limerick)
Thursday, November 16th, 2023When my verse writes itself, I am grateful.
Out of nowhere it flows, feeling fateful;
No struggles with rhyme,
No battles with time.
Now if only it came by the crateful!
A Muse Quatrain
Tuesday, December 20th, 2022When I need inspiration
I summon my muse.
When she doesn’t come through,
Then I check out the news.
