I love your limerick. It's the only kind of poem that I know how to write and you did a great job.

Sonia M. Apr 16, 2012, 6:29pm UTC

Thanks, Ms Lee... I like to write Haiku too, but am not really good at either!

Perhaps a cookie, a polar cookie.
A great poem.

Sonia M. Apr 16, 2012, 7:18pm UTC

The polar cookie sounded interesting but I could think of a proper poem
:-(

Thanks!

Impressive to combine two prompts.

fyi, Mindful Poetry Contest accepts the first submission you enter each day for the contest so your other poem will be considered for Poem-of-the-Day.

No problem, Susan... when I saw the prompt for the Shortie, a limerick came to mind...
