Lol! The "ghosts think she's kooky" makes it funny because we would normally be scared of the ghosts! I think this might have been good for the children's contest. Great limerick form!

You have a limerick gene. Pretty sure if they examined your DNA, they'd find it! This is fun and light and unlike the way, I suspect, many will approach this "Meeting in a Cemetery." Suki's got it going on! She looks small. I'm guessing she's a "Medium." (smile)

Love your sense of humour, Karenina 😆
Thanks for reading... I don't know about the DNA thing, you could be right! I seem to be stuck in a limerick groove, need to dig myself out of it and have a go at something different 😏
Best wishes as always, Debra x

Ah, you know the muse... She only lets us think we're in charge!

Comment from Father Flaps
Hi Deb,
Love a limerick. Love an old graveyard. But I wouldn't want to be Suki the Sleepwalker, and wake up next to a gravestone in the middle of the night!
I'm guessing the artwork came first, and the poem followed.
Can I make a suggestion for your 9-9-6-6-9 limerick? You have "of the moon" sticking out there in line 5, so I suggest:
The graveyard at night time is spooky,
but not so for sleepwalker Suki.
She strolls down there each night,
without fail in moonlight.
The ghosts think she's quite likely kooky!
In any case, nice poem and artwork for the "Meeting in a Cemetery" event.
Hugs,
Kimbob

Hi Kimbob :)
Thanks so much for your great suggestion! I went with your idea for line 4 and then tinkered a little with line 5 - it's better now!
Thanks again, you're a star!

~just happy to help a great poet like you, Debra!

actually, Deb, I was just reading the limerick again. That 3rd line is a bit of a tongue twister starting off,
"She strolls down there each night"
It would be much easier to read,
"strolling down there each night"
What do you think?
-
Yay! You fixed it even more! Thanks again, Kimbob 😊

I like the way this limerick style poem turns ghostly matters on their heads and the ghosts end up bewildered. You don't here much about sleep walking these days. I suppose all the sleep walkers get in their cars and sleep drive instead.

You managed to turn something potentially scary into a fun event. I find this to be a well-interpreted observation of this kooky picture. A good addition to your collection of limericks. Kate xx.

This was such a fun read. Wouldn't it be scary to be told that you walk the graveyard at night? I enjoy light-hearted poems. Good job. Best wishes.

Your limerick was fun and lighthearted, which you wouldn't expect from a poem about a girl who sleepwalks among tombstones. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Thanks for sharing!
