Though beautiful she appears
Beneath lies pain and fear
Like a wounded animal
Terrified and feral
She won’t let you near
In response to Mind and Life Matters limerick challenge
Feral – A limerick
All my creative pursuits.
Meg Sorick, Author/Artist 
You’re so good at writing limericks! When is your limerick book coming out? You could have a limerick journal. Each page would have one of your limericks at the top. The rest of the page would be blank. Then the limerick could be used as a writing prompt. In your “free” time of course! xo

You know what, that’s not bad idea! I loved using song lyrics as writing prompts! If this exploding brain ever runs out of ideas, that’s what I’ll do! Thanks, Whitney! xo

I loved it, Meg! The only limericks that I’m familiar with began with “There once was a man from Nantucket”. 😀

This is great and more eloquent than the ones I created – which never got submiticated because I was busy with other shiz. Here they are for your listening pleasure:
His friends thought it all kind of creepy
How he studied death so completely
As he cut off each head
I am a writer, he said
Their pain fed his stories weekly
Writing limericks can be such a pain
Every week competing again
But each week I must try
And my fingers must fly
For my shot at limerick fame

You could do this challenge for yourself, you know. Why do always have to compete with me?

You never know what outwardly strong and confident people are sometimes hiding. Something Lonely Author wrote recently inspired this. Thank you!
