Limerick Challenge – Trust

Here’s my limerick for Mind and Life Matters’ Limerick Poetry Challenge. This week we had to incorporate the word “trust” in the first, second or fifth lines.

I had a few ideas but none of them panned out, and I’m only just recovering from being poorly (yay antibiotics!) so here’s a limerick about not being able to write a limerick about “trust”.

I wanted to write about “trust”
But the whole thing turned out quite a bust
The words wouldn’t come
Now the deadline is done
So I’ll publish this, just ‘cos I must.

    Kudos to you for posting this, Ali! For not being able to write a limerick about trust, you still wrote a good one about not being able to write one (whoa, that was a lot of repetition on my part). You are dedicated indeed! 🙂 Wishing you a quick recovery.

    Glad to hear you’re feeling better, Ali. Creative way of writing a limerick without a subject. Good writing. 😀 — Suzanne

    And if by chance our muse grows weary of us, we must then hope that our brains betray not our trust.

    I enjoyed reading your limerick.
    Good to know you’re feeling better, guessing the antibiotics worked.

    I love it. I’m sorry you’re feeling badly, but it lead to a very nice limerick. It equally applies to writers block so I just may put it above my desk.

      It does work for writer’s block too, yes! Just push through it, is the thing I reckon.

      Thanks 🙂
      I’m glad you liked the limerick, and antibiotics are amazing. After just one tablet my appetite came back!

          When you’re feeling ill and suddenly get better after a couple of tablets, they definitely move to the top of the list!

    Another winner. I could publish this every third day as the lead in to whatever I’ve scratched together. It ain’t always easy.
