A challenge for you.



A challenge for you.




In a structured form fit for a poet's delight,

With limericks that capture the reader's sight,

Each word carefully crafted,

With themes and ideas grafted,

Make me a poem with all words in it's height.




The challenge to write with depth and grace,

To weave words in a serious embrace,

In each line and verse,

Let wisdom disperse,

Make me a poem that can stand the test of space.




With 200 words to convey the poet's art,

To speak of love, sorrow, or a broken heart,

Make every syllable count,

In poetic form to surmount,

The task of creating a masterpiece, a true work of art.




So let the ink flow on the page with ease.

As the poet's soul spills forth with expertise,

In this limerick so sincere,

Let the message be clear.
