Lovely little limerick about this big pelmatogram - how did they get footprint out of that word? Great rhyming with your 'ive' words and you've certainly got the limerick flow going well.
cheers,
valda

I am LOL on this one, Craig. You can imagine where my mind went with this amusing poem. Image is super. Your limerick is fun and well written. Marilyn

    I have no idea, Marilyn! (Well, maybe just a small idea). Thanks for the fun review :) Craig

Lovely use of rhythm in this one, Craig. Also, "Pelmatogram" wouldn't have sounded right if you'd made it the footprint of a tiny elf or small child - such a meaty word needed to be connected to a creature like the Sasquatch! Well done!

You're far too clever with wordplay, Craig - getting flattened is depressive, huh? No kidding! HAhaha! Like the title, That Sinking Feeling. ROFL
Ummmmmmmmmmmmm. Now what? My heartburn is all I can think about right now. But I'm so far behind in reviewing... !!!

    Hey, I hope you're feeling better soon. Feeling below par can be a bit depressive too, so plenty of rest and whatever it takes to get rid of that heartburn - doctor's orders! Thanks for the lovely review :)

    Thanks, Craig. The odd thing is this stomach issue is one I've had for several years, yet when I was younger I used to eat anything I wanted. :( I blame years of diet Coke. I still can't leave it alone completely. LOL.

Super limerick, Craig! I felt the meter was perfectly done with even such a long word pelmatogram.
It's said we have them in Northwestern US in the woods near Canada. We'll look out for them.

Hey, Craig...

Entertaining limerick with a extra pleasing, rhyme, flow and beat. Well done with the theme of the day... big footprints to big feet. Oddly enough, it seems nobody is trying to avoid big foot... always trying to find him, to snap a picture, claim a sighting... though for me, I'd be just fine never to cross footpaths with the likes. He's gone through a lot of trouble to tiptoe those pelmantograms around.

Though flattened by bigfoot might be more terrifying than depressing, I enjoy the side play of being pressed into the ground... like a tongue depressor.

    Thanks so much, Turtle. I'm not in any hurry to find Harry, either. Leave the poor thing in peace :) I appreciate the great comments - cheers, Craig

This limerick, Sasquatch, has the right beat and takes the footprint fererence to the granddaddy of pediatral pontoons, Big Foot. Creative use of words to make the rhyme work. Nice job with this.

Well one of the components in this word sounds familiar. The togram part. It seems most civilizations have their own versions of Sasquatch like Yetis. I live in the Pacific Northwest, but Sasquatch sightings are further North. A limerick it seems. Nice alliteration. Thank you for sharing

Look out for Sasquatch! He's on the move. Although there are several names for this being, it does have a big foot--make that 2. Your picture is a great pairing with your words. Your limerick gives good info into this subject. The rhymes are IMPRESSIVE [like how I rhymed with lines 1, 2 ,& 5]? Thanks for sharing. Jan

    But that was my line one (hehe, that was just me, being possessive). Many thanks for the great comments, Jan.

Not only have I learned a new word today, but I think that book might make an excellent present for my brother! I really like your limerick (not an easy form to master), and I must confess, I love stories about bigfoot as well. Good one!

    Thanks very much, Brenda. I think it's probably the most used present I've received in a while, so I can't argue with your idea. Cheers, Craig
