This post is in response to Mind and Life Matters Limerick Poetry Challenge Week 3: Believe where the challenge is to write a limerick which incorporates the word ‘believe’ or a synonym of the word. I’ve done two limericks and, as I couldn’t decide which one to submit, I thought I’d post them both.
The first goes as follows:
I believe that the stars in the sky
Will float down in a moment and cry
As the sun is still out
And it leads me to doubt
If the moon can be bothered to try
Herewith the second attempt:
Belief is the bedrock of life
Through trouble and torment and strife
We need our foundations
They help our relations
And stop us from grasping that knife
I found out, through Writing 101: Poetry that, not only do I love writing poetry, but I especially love writing limericks. Hope you find them amusing 🙂
Lovely, both of them. Very good interpretations.

I liked the subject matter of the second one best. Both are well done, though. Good job.
