Though it’s rare that I cavil or carp,
And on errors, I try not to harp,
I am ditched by my filter
When pitch is off-kilter;
My critique will be harsh — flat-out sharp!

A Critical Difference (Limerick)
Thursday, April 18th, 2024Decisions, Decisions, Decisions (Limerick and Haiku Prompt — Open Until February 1st) (Updated)
Thursday, January 17th, 2008Today’s limerick and haiku theme is decisions and indecision. First, my limerick:
If there’s one thing I cannot abide,
It is people who cannot decide
What to eat, where to go,
Hot or cold, fast or slow.
Do you think I should take it in stride?
And now, my haiku:
Postponing decisions
Eliminates your options:
Fate accompli.
Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to write a limerick or haiku (or both) about decisions or indecision. When you’ve posted your verse, please return here and add a direct link to your themed poetry.
(If you need some tips on limerick or haiku writing, I link to some helpful sites here.)
NOTE: Thanks to the few of you who have been joining in on the limerick and haiku prompt fun. But I’m beginning to wonder if it makes sense to continue these prompts, with so few people participating.
I’m not sure what the problem is. Lack of publicity? The themes? The difficulty in writing limericks? If anyone has any suggestions as to how to widen the appeal of these prompts, I’d appreciate your posting them in the comments section. Thanks!
UPDATE: Although I usually post prompts every Friday, my current prompt will remain open until February 1st because I’ll be traveling.
