The Turtle, The Moon and The Plane ©Dawn Minott |a Limerick

On June 3, 2025June 10, 2025 By Dawn MinottIn Poetry

A turtle once entered a race

With an aeroplane—built for high pace

While the plane soared and flew

‘Twas lost in search of the moon

And the turtle won first place with praise

Afterword: The muse for this limerick is the two images in Sadje’s prompt on What Do You See # 291 June 02, 2025.

    I have a bunch of photos with limericks lined up for June. I hope you don’t think I’m copying your idea, but it’s kind of cool that you put up a limerick just before mine begin as well.
