Comment from Marykelly

Excellent

The topic of this poem is the serious issue of drug addiction, particularly among young people. The form of the poem is rhyming stanzas that have a sing-song rhythm to them. This tone is in contrast to the disastrous ending but in its way emphasizes the tragedy because of the contrast.

Thank you Marykelly. Like the drug itself, it has a nasty twist.

Your poem was a delight to read, although the topic is sad. It flows so well, and almost sounds like a nursery rhyme. Your flow and ebb are perfect.
Great job.

Hi TREISCHEL,
I love your Limerick, it actually makes sense and has a definite message and meaning Most limericks are silly but this was a pleasure to read.
Great poem.
Brenda

Thank you Brenda. They don't have to be silly or ribald, but most are. Glad you liked mine.

All too true, Tom! I love the image of the lady with a monkey on her back - have no idea who or why - but it matches perfectly! HAHAHA

Great job with the suite. Thanks!

I had never heard of a limerick suite until last weekend for the group that posted those. Your limericks work well together with great flow and sad endings. Your picture is perfect. Good job with the individual limericks and the group as a whole. These have many valid points that are too sad.

Good job and thanks for sharing.

Thank you Jannypan. Unfortunately, the endings are often sad, especially with crystal meth.

This is so well written and true. The rhythm and rhyme are right on task. The story line is clear and well told. I think this is a limerick with a tragic tale.

Well said and the stacked limerick is very smoothly written, well done on this and I can relate to the monkey on the back theme, I had to get one off mine as well.
