I was wondering how you were doing after the pacemaker was placed. How are you doing?
Enjoyed your limerick - written on the day of the procedure! I wondered about the "spice" but I see now it was required.
Best wishes in the contest!

    Last in the contest, but the pacemaker was a breeze, I guess.

    Whew! Glad to hear that it was a breeze. Hope you are sleeping better after that procedure. 🙏💖

Hi,
This is a good mix of words and artwork. Does anyone get joy from driving in traffic? Yes, new cars are not made as strongly as old cars were.
You use the words well.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Hope your enjoying your week so far.
Joan

    Got a pacemaker installed today. Now I can do anything, except lift heavy things for a week.

    Glad to hear it. Heavy lifting isn't much of a loss unless you are a professional weightlifter.

The subject matter of this poem is unique compared to the other poems I've seen using the writing prompt for this. Thanks for sharing and happy writing!

    Hi Lindsey. If you are cutting and pasting your reviews, that is frowned on here. If not, perhaps a bit more review of the work and less generic, could-be-anything remarks.

    No I'm not copy and pasting. I have trouble typing sometimes and I have certain things I want to make sure and say so I do use predictive text to save my hand muscles sry

Hi there,

This is billed as a 5-7-5 which of course it isn't and reads much more like a limerick than anything else.

All words are present and correct though which is always nice.

    Excuse me. I had one idea and went with another. I will change the description.

Fun little short poem that I would picture in a children's book or magazine. As a surface level piece, I really enjoyed it, and could almost imagine it getting stuck in my head like a chorus from a song.

Your poem effectively uses the given words and creates a vivid scene with a mix of serious and whimsical elements. The contrast between "driving with joy" and "the shadow of death" adds depth, while "spice on my breath" and the final line about the car being "made of plastic" introduce a quirky twist.

I enjoyed your poem. You did a good job with the words that were supplied. I don't know why you said it was a 5-7-5, though. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

    I was going to do one form and settled on another. I changed the description. Thanks, Jessizero
