September Poetry Prompt – Seasons

 

Write a limerick poem on the change of the season and post on your blog before 28th September. If you live in the Northern hemisphere, write about the onset of Autumn. Those living in the South, including Ineke and Amanda, write about the onset of Spring.

A Limerick is a humorous poem wherein the first line sets up the character(s) and setting, so the reader knows right away who/what the story is about.

Only five lines long, limerick poems have an ‘AABBA’ rhyme scheme.

    1. Thank you so much, Abrie. I love that you have asked your followers to join in. Limericks are a quick and easy poem to write. Lots of fun. I will translate your poem later. Can’t wait to read it.

    1. Well done, Inneke. I am flat out moving house and then I am off to Japan. My blog will have to wait. Would you be in a position to do the round up post or a reminder in English and email it to me.? It is ok if you can’t.
