Two butterflies perched, side by side,

On a hand that was oddly mechanized

Said one, “I wish for a wand,

I’d wave and command:

That we live in a book — free forever wide-eyed.”

This limerick was inspired by the two images from  Sadje’s prompt!

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

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.

The Tiger & The Donkey ©Dawn Minott |a Limerick

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry12 Comments

Beforeword: I came across this image while scrolling through Facebook and it begged to be turned into poetry. A limerick is befitting!! Here goes …

Lion heard tiger and donkey

Argue grass is blue, how wonky

The tiger he fined

For being intertwined

In arguing with a donkey

Afterword: The moral of the poem— It’s pointless to argue with someone who is unwilling to see reason. Happy new week WPers!!
