Noise Violation

Contest write #1 - a Limerick

The thunder was accused of a crime

A commotion that rivaled war time

You must fire with care

In noise-making affairs ~

Precious few sounds are sublime

I think you weaved those required words into the poem in a very good way. Sometimes I've seen writers weave words into pieces for similar contest requirements, and the way they are placed in the poems is ineffective. However, you create a top quality poem, and all of your words aid your development of the poem. Your second and fifth lines in this piece are my favorites. Also, very well done with the limerick form!

I enjoy a word-challenge, so this was fun. Didn't realize that this would be a limerick until I was finished... :) Thank you, Christian!

I enjoyed your boredom, this could pertain to so many situations, even here it applies. Nice work Rita.

Ha! Yes, I hadn't thought of that, but you are right! Thanks, R&B!
