Limerick Challenge Week 47: Tell Me A Story!

A very big thank you to all of you for your kind words on my long rant last week, thank you all, your kind words makes me feel a lot better. I am also very happy with the wonderful, beautiful limericks that I get to read every week. For this month as I focus on my novel, it’s only the limerick challenge that keeps me coming back to my blog and I have you to thank for that. Since Thanksgiving is just around the corner, I figured I must say my Thanks to you, my lovely readers and wonderful participants for keeping me going!

Let’s proceed to find out who our Top 5 are for this week. If you have not already done so, click here to read the submissions from Week 46.

The limerick superstar of this week………….*drumrolls please* Β Frank of Poetry, Short Prose and Walking with the below limerick!

Over the years with the air fresh or stale,
Overland with my feet as a sail
It seems I got where
I was meant to out there
But the best part of all was that trail.

Congratulations, Frank  – the Limerick Superstar of the week!

Β­Β­Β­Β­Β­Β­Β­Β­Β­I was blown away by the limericks from Diane of Ladies Who Lunch Reviews and Aimee of The Purple Garden.

I also found the limericks by Lola of Through Lola’s Prism and Prakash of It’s PH to be very interesting.

Now that the Top 5 limericks have been announced, let us move on to the Week 47 Challenge.

The prompt for week 47 – Tell Me A Story! In five lines, tell me a story about anyone, about anything! It must, of course, be in the limerick format. You can retell your favorite book in five lines or you can cook up your own story, whatever you choose, say it in a limerick!

I am excited about this week’s challenge to find out how you tackle this one!

Finally, here’s my take on the prompt:

Every night the doors lay open

Lavish parties and lively music poppin’

All he wanted was her attention

One whose name he could not mention

She, the one, whose heart he had broken! Β
