FWF Submission: Six Years Was Way Too Long

Kellie Elmore's Free Write Friday

Six Years Was Way Too Long

Once I dated a guy
who really did try by and by
to act like he owned me
and hide he was lonely
Until finally I was able to fly.

Hmmmm, well at least it's not a cinquain, which is what it tried to originally be. Kellie's Free Write prompt gives you a prompt and then you just sit, open your mind, and write, and see what happens. This week's prompt is the picture above. So, what we have is my fist attempt at a Limerick. But I don't know how I feel about it. A Limerick is supposed to be witty...I did not achieve witty (although I did look up "witty" just to make sure.) I think that I need to work up some more courage if I am going to out others in my writing. I do love this prompt, though. Maybe I'll come back again. I am going to post this, even though I feel ambivalent about it, because...well...it's my blog and I wanna. And look- it's not a cinquain, and I haven't retold a movie, TV show, fairy tale, or a mutilation of  Queen. Yay me!

  6. You've definately got the rhyme and metre. I can relate to this, and your diaper one was very amusing. I think maybe limericks have a certain kind of humour, which doesn't come naturally to me. I think my humor tends to be of a different sort and that's why I'm uneasy in attempting them..well..maybe?

    1. Thank you Rowan. I think you are right about there being a certain type of humor that works best with limericks. I was surprised to find that I get shy trying to write bawdy limericks. Poop's no problem, though. :)
