SPRING
September
A month to remember
Snow on the hills
Still gives us chills
Spring in September we will always remember
Ineke
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
Hosts Blogger and writer from New Zealand, Ineke from scrapydo2.wordpress.com and Blogger, Amanda from Something to Ponder About, are jointly hosting a Poetry Challenge.
Amanda’s challenge is in English and Ineke’s is in Afrikaans, (translations in English).
The challenge is open to everyone, from complete beginners to advanced writers or aspiring poets. The challenge will run from March to October 2018 and will include writing tips and link backs for contributors. Beginner poet, hobbyist or Advanced writer We hope you will join in.
You can write in either language, however, please post a link back, and comment at both WordPress blogs to indicate your interest and include the tag A and I Poetry Challenge.
In this way, we can find you and read your poetry.
Very nice. You must be in the southern hemisphere to have spring in september!

Finally posted my limerick. What a great prompt this was. I really had to work hard to find my words. This poetic form seemed to suit you, Ineke. Whereas I found it quite difficult. You can find my limerick here: https://wordpress.com/post/forestwoodfolkart.wordpress.com/21760
