Sometimes I’m very disobedient when it comes to poetry prompts. For instance, Haiku Heights asks us to use the word splendor in … surprise, surprise … haiku. So what do I do? I use it in a limerick, instead.
Not So Splendid Limerick
By Madeleine Begun Kane
I wonder what constitutes splendor
And if views of it vary by gender.
Some see it in people
Or art or a steeple.
And others in green legal tender.
