Green Thumb Confessions

The workings of late in our garden
Are having me begging your pardon
The veggies we planned
With hope to be canned
May leave us with nothing to harden

We’re really quite newbies at growing
It seems that our newness is showing
With things turning brown
We’re starting to frown
There’s more that we need to be knowing

This process is one worth the taking
For time and the hopes that we’re making
We’ll plug right away
Awaiting the day
When well-mounded harvest we’re raking

Beautiful, RLW! Your limericks sing like Pavarotti!

[RhymeLovingWriter]

High praise this MHenry - thank you!

[AlexandratheLate]

You do limericks quite wonderful RLW!! Enjoy reading them immensely.

[RhymeLovingWriter]

Thank you AtL. This form seems to like me and I always get a real sense of the fun when writing them!

[lunar glide]

I agree you seem to have a natural talent for these.

[RhymeLovingWriter]

Thank you LG. Perhaps I should try more. I'm kind of scattered some days, as each new form arrives in the zone, I hop off to try it. One thing I am learning, through ha'sonnets, and now limericks, is that I enjoy hearing laughter from my writing (I usually run them by my husband before posting and if it's meant to be humorous and he laughs - then I feel more confidence in sharing).

[DWAYNE]

I can relate to this!

Clever!

[RhymeLovingWriter]

Thanks DWAYNE. I'm hoping to write another one at a later date with a more pleasant outcome.

GREAT! As a gardener of many tears I felt every line in my sometimes green and sometimes brown thumbs. And yes, I laughed heartily! Verse is great, Hope your garden does as well.
