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, itβs 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!
Letβs 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 weekβ¦β¦β¦β¦.*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 Β β 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 Lolaβs Prism and Prakash of Itβs 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 β 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 weekβs challenge to find out how you tackle this one!

Finally, hereβs my take on the prompt:
Every night the doors lay open
Lavish parties and lively music poppinβ
All he wanted was her attention
One whose name he could not mention
She, the one, whose heart he had broken! Β

Congratulations to Frank! And happy to be in top 5. Yayy! π
This week’s prompt is very interesting. Will try that out soon! Your limerick is too good. I like the love-hate-breakup story! π

Thank you, Prakash! My limerick is inspired by one of my favorite books, although I changed the ending bit from him to her whose heart was broken!
Prakash Hegade
Pleasure!
Ohh, Can I know the book?

Thank you for selecting my limerick!
Based on your take for the new story prompt, it looks like one can tell a story in five lines.

You’re welcome, Frank!

Dear Rashmi,
How are you? I hope your writing is going well. π
MindandLifeMatters
Hi Ranu, I am good, thank you so much for checking on me. I have just finished NaNoWriMo and took a week off from writing after that, hence the break in my blog.
I hope you are well, too?

A story in five lines?! You gotta be kidding me! Okay, wait… There’s Lenny who had a toothless Uncle Danny. Will that do? π
Congratulations to all the winners!
MindandLifeMatters
Lenny and uncle Danny are busy so that won’t do at all! π
