Thanks for asking my dear, it’s been quite

A nice weekend indeed, quite alright

I had church and crocheted

I played cards and I prayed

And I ate old man Jenkins last night.

also werewolves that dont fit into the ‘stereotypical werewolf’ criteria are nice as well. i want a story where it turns out the dainty and sweet lady is the monster that slaughters people every full moon.

'To Be Or Not To Be' as a Limerick

The great question before us we see Between logic and doomed bravery: Should we suffer cruel fate Or fight, die, and cut bait? Try to be, or indeed, not to be?

For our dying and sleeping do seem Like an end to the callous and mean. To escape innate pain, ‘Tis a joy to be slain. But what will it mean if we dream?

Once we’re gone from this low earthly clime Are we met by abyss or sublime? Our next path lies unpaved. There’s the rub, I’m afraid, And the reason we strive for more time.

But why should you endure all this strife That’s inherent in living your life? For the Poor, the Oppressed, The Forlorn, and Depressed Could just end it all now with a knife.

When that contrary will to survive And the Fear of the Unknown arrive, Then we opt not to go, For the devil-we-know, And our cowardice, keeps us alive.

The resolve to commit willfully, Howe’er steadfast this death-wish may be; Plans and actions are thwart When we give second thought. Hark! Ophelia, please, pray for me.

There once was a wizard of turquoise

Who filled every one with intense joys

He’d sing and he’d dance

Put you into a trance

Then take your wallet and spend it with the boys

there's this claim I've encountered a bunch that no words exist rhyming with "month" yet that claim undermines it's been rhymed with n times making this instance the n+1th

The Solitary Cyclist

"My dear Watson, you've wasted your time Missing your opportunity prime. You don't know how to spy You weren't close to the guy. We must nab him, or there'll be a crime!

"Holmes, did I really do that bad? What strategy should I have had?" "Though you didn't need grub, I'd have gone to the pub And bought all the secrets they had."

(Holmes goes down to the pub and comes back bloody)

"Oh Holmes, what kind of fight did you start? Those cuts on your knuckles must smart!" "They're proof of outfoxing Our foe with my boxing. The other man went home in a cart!"

Monday March 3rd, Today In animation We learned how to use adobe animate and We played around with just moving squares and transitions then moved onto a bouncing ball. I also decided to make another shot of my animation in the evening because I felt the first one didnt fully encompass what I was aiming for and this one will be easier to animate. I used procreate for this and included and time lapse of my progress.https://www.fiverr.com/s/vvGYBDL?utm_source=CopyLink_Mobile

What's a limerick?

Well, first let me structure portray -  Five lines in a strict rhyme scheme stay The first two and last With third-fourth do contrast  This rhyme scheme’s AABBA!

So each line should always have three Of it’s syllables stressed, let’s agree. It’s trimeter form And quite a strict norm For the first two and last line you see.

The couplet meanwhile has two Of it’s syllables stressed, as you knew. But harder is matching  And moving and patching  The number of unstressed parts too.

When you write a good lim’rick, it’s best To have syllable “feet” not be messed, But have unstressed parts match Like in this one you’ll catch  I have two quiet ‘fore the ones stressed.

While two unstressed each time Is common, I will chime Just one works too The goal’s that you Can match within each rhyme.

I hope I answered your question! I’ve got to admit, in confession, I clearly don’t always Do all that in all these, But I hope it’s a helpful suggestion! :)

I've been working super hard on some really earnest poetry but one is embargoed and the other isn't done. So on this April Fools' Day, please enjoy a limerick that took me honestly WAY longer than it should have:

There once was a demon from Mayfair Friends with an angel with white hair When asked “You share a flat?” He said “It's not like that!” Then ran back to the bookshop that they share
