Acrostic Limerick: Hot, Cross Lovers
Last month I had such a good time writing these two acrostic limericks, that I had to try another in response to a new prompt from Acrostics Only.
Acrostic Limerick: Hot, Cross Lovers
By Madeleine Begun Kane
A flexible gal who is spry,
Gymnastically gifted, and sly
Initiates sex,
Leaves her lovers as wrecks —
Enticing, entrapping — oh my!
UPDATE: April 23 is Lover’s Day

Oh my indeed. Very nicely done. I have a soft spot for acrostics.
So clever! I love it!! :)
Nicely Mad, the acrostic works so well with the Limerick form, I bet you’ll be on the lookout for cool five letter words now…
Is it me or did it just get a little warmer in here?
A flexible gal who is spry,
got her big toe stuck in her eye
after pulling it out
she started to pout
yoga does now make her cry
Fun limerick, Matty! And thanks for your kind comments, everyone!
reminded me of a vamp in james bond movies.
Naturally I come to you for the limerick, you do them so well, this is really cute, gives me ideas for my own !!

That gal sounds like my kind of woman, or some carrots I grew :)
LOVE it!! Too, too clever! You amaze me.
I KNOW HER! We do yoga and pilates together. ;-)
This is so funny! Don’t know if I’ll get a chance to write this week. I’m brain-frazzled after a two-day drive and facing 4 months worth of unpaking! Arrgh.
In the mental agility stakes, you are the front runner.
Excellently done.
My heart goes out to Mad Kane
Kindly humorous laureate, keeps you sane
After all that she’s said
Never early to bed
Ever searching for the world’s best refrain.
Mastery of the medium and funny too!
“Hot, Cross Lovers” is a classic limerick; brilliant.
Oh my indeed…you are your game, girl! Vb
HA! Acrostic limericks are very like patting one’s head while rubbing the tummy. You’re talented and brave.
Hot is right. Nice work.
Great job! and funny too.
clever, clever, clever, and fun!
Oh, the spam you’ll attract with this witty ditty!
Thanks everyone for your lovely and enthusiastic comments. And thanks Poetjanstie for the fun MKane acrostic. Great fun, indeed!
