Limerick Challenge Week 40: Fears, Confessions of a Writeaholic

Yay yay it is October already! In case you are wondering why that makes me happy, it’s because October happens to be my birthday month. I get excited like a little child when my birthday is around the corner! October also means Fall is in full swing and I just love watching the leaves change color. My family and I are planning a drive to the Blue Ridge mountains in VA to see the fall colors!

Talking about fall, I must say that I am in awe after reading the amazing limericks for the ‘Seasons’ prompt. It was so tough for me to pick the top 5 this week, really, I had a very difficult time picking my top 5 with such marvelous submissions!

If you have not already done so, you can click here to view all the limerick submissions for the last week.

Now, let’s take a look at the Top 5 limericks from Week 39 challenge.

The limerick superstar of this week………….*drumrolls please* Kay of Diary of a Married Woman!

Freeze from sapphire heavens creates white earth,
Melting to steady rain, sparking rebirth.
Soon, sun burns a fierce smolder,
Long days turn to nights colder,
As colors fall, fading, crackling last mirth.

Congratulations, Kay – the Limerick Superstar of the week!

Alistair of A Certain Point of View shared a beautiful love story spanning seasons with his limerick and Magarisa of Becoming Unstuck took us on a trip around the world through her limerick.

While, Pranabaxom of Fleeting Muse spoke beautifully of seasonal heartbreak, Diane of LadiesWhoLunchReviews told her heartwarming love story that spans seasons.

Now that the Top 5 limericks have been announced, let us move on to the Week 40 Challenge.

The prompt for this week is ‘Fears’. Identify one thing that you fear, a phobia you hold and write a limerick based on that fear or about the ways that phobia secretly thrills you.

I am excited about this week’s challenge and can’t wait to read your limericks for this prompt!
