Haha! You seem to be in a joyous mood these days! Two limericks! Also, what a contest! I think you handled this one really well, with a playful commentary about the contest itself! Good job!

This is a fun little ditty answering the limerick challenge. The lines, 8,8,5,5,8 ready smoothly. This describes my feeling every time a attempt a contest, I think I've made a mistake.

Hi Mystery Poet

A fun limerick and in good form. I love the presentation, Liilia is such a remarkable talent. I've enjoyed your take on this quirky contest and quite a challenge too, all having to use the same starter. Great rhythm and rhyme and a good sense of irony here. I think this is a contender for highest placement. I wish you the best of luck. Warm regards - Lovinia xoxo

Sometimes what we have on our mind are easily transferred to paper. But sometimes it doesn't work out as well as you have imagined it to be.

Another fine entry in this contest. And like the other entries I've read it is a fun limerick.

Personally I would have added 'find' to the third line. "To FIND the right word.'
For me this would have balanced the meter

Well done - a Limerick on writer's block. We've all been there. But your Limerick is well written and tells of just mistakes. We've all been there too. Well done and good luck in the contest. Warm regards Dorothy
