Oh man, I would love it if that is the way it happens. Just give me another chance. Let me fix the screw-ups I so carelessly made the first time around. Who knows, you may be right.
Great verse, really sings right along.

It's not impossible! It certainly explains child prodigies!
Comment from lyenochka
This is cute. A limerick is appropriate for this kind of challenge but the meter isn't anapestic or amphibrachic as per regular limericks. I guess the poem puts a vote for reincarnation? Best wishes in the contest!

It gives a little unexpected lilt to a serious subject.
Comment from K.L. Rockquemore
I enjoyed this whimsical verse exploding " what comes next."
I think humor is appreciate with this subject, as it keeps light a topic that is generally heavy and sorrowful.
This made me smile and after watching the evening news this was a delight.
You did a creative job with the prompt, it seems as though you enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing.

Definitely fun...and definitely an antidote to the nightly news. You're braver than I; I can't even watch it anymore.
Thanks for this really nice review.
Comment from Tom Horonzy
It's a joyful thought and yet I believe the plan will be the same. To try to become as requested "Be ye therefore perfect, even as they Father in heaven. Why would Christ teach that if not possible?

Hmmm
Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
Many believe as you have written in your poem. However, I will throw a tizzy fit if I must return to this world. Your rhyming is good throughout this poem. Your message is clearly stated. The text is large enough to be easily read. The visual fits well. Overall, a good job.

But maybe next time, since you paid your dues this time, next time you'll lead the charmed life of a Disney princess!! (Actually, I think that every other time, you come back as an animal, and it corresponds with the kind of human you were. So, next time, you'd come back as Sir Duke--loved and having a peaceful, well-taken-care-of life!
-
To have the life of Sir Duke would be heavenly. He just finished a dinner of hunks of chicken mixed with kibble. Ice in his water dish, and he loves fruit, so he had hunks of watermelon (seedless) with hunks of frozen bananas.LOL
-
I get to be Sir Duke next time around!!!!
-
LOL! He's a rescue so his earlier life wasn't great!
-
It was after he found you!!
-
That's just sweet of you to say. I got him at age 3. He is now 14 years old.
-
See? His life has been great WAY longer than it wasn't!
-
Exactly!
Comment from Carolyn Dooley
This is a great one, coming back as a thumb sucking baby. I think I would like to be an Eagle. To soar high in the sky. And sit on the highest branch in the tallest tree, looking over other birds to give them warnings. To keep them safe, so they can live longer than I did. Thank you for sharing.

I guess one could apply this to a reborn child of God. And you've done it in a great Limerick, and a very orthodox and well metered Limerick in 99669 syllables, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

hmmm. Re-incarnation. Without time to reflect on your failings of your previous life or how you're going to do better. I don't think God's offering much help for future improvement in your picture. Kate xx

Well, I haven't seen many faith-based limericks, that's for sure! This was lots of fun and maintained the traditional humourous tone of the limerick whilst putting a fresh spin on things.
