This week’s prompt is truly a challenge for me. I prefer to write free verse and love to play around with different media to make my verses more interesting.
Metre or rhymes seem too much of a bother for me. However, now and then I challenge myself to try out both and this week was one of those.
Shorter “The Day Jobbers Essential Poetry Prompt” week
I invited you and myself to take part in Mad Kanes Limerick-Off. That means our deadline is 10 pm Saturday (EST) (Sunday 2 am GMT)
She challenged her fellow limerickians to rhyme with the word “jerk”. Please head over to her page if you want to take part.
My Limerick
As I wrote before: Rhymes or metre are not my forte, and so this is the only thing I could manage:
It is not really a perk.
For a vegetarian to eat beef jerk
No chicken or pork nor mutton
Makes the veggie become a glutton
Well, I suspect it’s not great, but ok. I can live with it and maybe will improve it over time.

Thanks very much, it’s rather old. Am working through my old posts. Add missing photos, delete dead links, edit with Grammarly. Only another 1300 to go 🤣. I’ll get there eventually 🤗🙋♀️🐝

Gosh, that is an exercise. I deleted 640 old posts a few months ago. It was a bit disastrous because I also deleted a lot of pictures to make space for new ones and now I have posts that are missing pictures.
