Day 11: Missed A Day {National Poetry Month & 30 Day Blog Challenge}

Yep, that title says it all. Well, mostly. I thought about getting post #10 up all day long. And apparently got no further!

I won't recommend Day #11 from the CCLP's poetry because it's crass, in my opinion. But I do like the prompt: Try a limerick today.

Write a limerick on any subject, using the form’s aabba rhyme scheme and traditional meter. 

And from Day #10:
Stretch your ability with words.
It is said that there is no word that rhymes with silver, orange, or husband. Write a poem about one of those three words that uses rhyme or slant rhyme OR write a poem about all three words that is not rhyming.

Which should I choose? I like a limerick I think. Such as There was an Old Man with a Beard, by Edward Lear. Looks easy enough.

Poetry

I try and I try, but no matter, 

All this poetry gets badder and badder. 

Some lines might appear, 

But I erase them from fear. 

I don’t know which makes me sadder!
