Amusing Verse … I Hope

One of my favorite poetry prompt sites, One Single Impression, has asked its poet-participants to propose word prompts for upcoming editions. I suggested the word “amuse,” which will be used next week, starting September 25th. Here’s a limerick and haiku I wrote for the occasion:

Amusing Verse … I Hope
By Madeleine Begun Kane

I try to amuse when I write,
In my quest to pen verse that has bite.
But sometimes my muse
Lets me down. Yes j’accuse!
I suspect that it does it for spite.

*****

Poetry prompt sites
inspire, amuse, bring friends,
awaken muses.

    Thank you Madeleine (spelled it correctily this time!).
    Your verses amused me as per my definition, if I leave with a smile on my face, I’m amused. :)

    I hope you will be amused with mine also. It won’t be up until Midnight CDT tomorrow night. Could be later.
