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)
Tuesday, May 12th, 2026Inspiration hits? Put it to use.
Since it’s fleeting, do give it some juice.
You must use it or lose it,
And never abuse it.
So play with that notion. Let loose!
Dear Muse (Limerick)
Wednesday, October 29th, 2025“I am sorry to say that I feel
Your ideas are far from ideal.
You’ve had plenty of time
To produce a good rhyme,
So this ‘muse’ deal must end. (It’s been real.”)
Creativity Unawakened (Limerick)
Friday, August 22nd, 2025I’m awakened; I’m eager to write.
But my thoughts are all scattered and trite.
“Where’d my muse go,” I cry.
“Has my wit-well gone dry?”
I scan prompts, sigh, and call it a night.
Bullies (Limerick)
Wednesday, July 9th, 2025My two blogs are big bullies, alas:
“Write more lim’ricks!” they coax and harass.
If I take a day off,
They will grumble and scoff:
“What’s your problem? You run out of gas?”
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!
