There once was a cat on a
boat,
On top of the sea she did
float,
Writing memoirs in her
blog,
Until she hit a
log
And that was all
she wrote.

Basically I just hit enter (kind of feels like cheating)…there was no way to rearrange the words to make it stay as 5 lines, so 10 it is.
Day 4 Poetry 101: Write a poem about the imperfect nature of someone or something in the form of a Limerick. Limericks are traditionally composed of five lines of verse. The traditional rhyming scheme of a limerick is a a b b a. It carries with it connotations of frivolity, light-hearted entertainment, and, well, lots of drinking. Todayβs poetic device is all about the arrangement of words on the page, and how that arrangement affects the pace of our reading: enjambment: when a grammatical sentence stretches from one line of verse to the next.
Purrfect! So next is an ode to Hairballs? π

Mine enjoyed reading others. She didn’t think she could come up with a clever twist of her own. We would enjoy reading some of hers if she felt so inclined to share sometime.
