Jessica,

Congrats on your win in the Limerick contest. I note that you have reached the #13 spot in the ranking. I believe there is not a single poetic form you cannot master. I hope to see you reach the #1 spot this year.

All the best,

Eugene

Comment from Saki the Artist

Excellent

Haha I like limericks that make you think for a sec. Also, great choice of description ("he had it coming") - I love it when poets sneak in a little extra pun in there.

Suggestions for minor edits:

Capitalize 'O' in "old Roy" in the 3rd line.

The last line could benefit from meter reinforcement. What I mean is, it's a little awkward to accent "does", even though you've set up every line to start on an unaccented beat. My suggested rewrite would be "Sure looks a lot more like Roy's brother ".

Still a 5 star poem even without the edits I suggested. I also like the choice of artwork.

Now, that was a good Limerick poem. This poem was well-crafted. Each line connected well with the next. This poem meets all of the requirements for this contest. Good accentuating picture. Nice job.

Oh my! Gosh darn those genetics! A fun limerick of the cuck. Hopefully the wife gets alimony and child support. Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the contest.

Well done. This one gave me a chuckle, though I'm sure ol' Roy would think there's nothing funny about it. You laid it out well and the twist at the end was unexpected. An enjoyable read :)
