Mona the Melancholy Muse

Thanks for the inspiration, Frieda!

Mona the Melancholy Muse

Her morale was as low as her shoes

When asked why her writes

Were as dark as the nights

She said, “All my pens have the blues.”

 

So I bought her a new pack of ink

In hopes that her mood would not sink

Now she spends all her time

Writing whimsical rhyme

And her quills are all quite in the pink!

Haha Very clever. A limmerick style in the best fashion... It's fun to see a little of the heaviness lifted from time to time, and your rhyme is spot on! I love this one...great write!

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Sarah! I only do a little heavy - light feels so much better... :)

Hi Rita. A very good write about this melancholy muse. Clever and playful. A skillfully crafted double limerick. I love the humor. Flow is good as is the line to line transition and breaks. Nice metaphor and double entendre - "all my pens have the blues". Good rhythm and rhyme. Perfect masculine end line rhyme that is executed very well in this piece. Good depth of feeling, amusing and a fun read. Well penned. Write on!
