Each Wednesday, I compose a limerick using the words from Three Word Wednesday. Today's words are: fragrant, jostle, remnant.
And don't forget, if you'd like to read more of my limericks inspired by Three Word Wednesday, you can buy my e.book, which is cleverly titled:

An uncovered remnant, white lace;
My old life, brought close my face.
Her fragrant perfume
Can an old love exhume,
And jostle what I've tried to erase.

ReplyDeleteWe can't run away from the things we carry with us.
DeleteSurely you weren't being sentimental! A sentimental limerick! Quite a change.
ReplyDeleteSurprise! ;-)
DeleteYou have mastered your craft.
ReplyDeleteNot yet, but thank you!
DeletePhew, I guess the past is always trying to change the future.
ReplyDeleteThe past is never far away.
DeleteLove this! I didn't even realize it was a limerick, that's how good it is!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked it!
DeleteAnother great limerick!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laurie!
DeleteThis is just sweet. Hope that word isn't to corny. I liked it very much. Sometimes this kind of "jostle" really startles us :-) Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteNot corny at all. I'm glad you liked it. ;-)
DeleteLove the conjured image of lace and scent of perfume - very evocative. Have a small quibble with the crowded scansion of the last line, but nice work overall.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Others have heard a hiccup in that last line, too, something which escaped me when I wrote it this morning. Must reconsider.
Deletewell done, use of the words, form and thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mark!
Deleteyour limericks never fail to amaze me in how ell written they are. You are a master of your craft.
ReplyDeleteNo, not a master, but I keep plugging away at it. I'm glad you liked it, S!
DeleteWe both wrote of lost love today!
ReplyDeleteLove the image! As Kim Nelson also wrote, we wrote about a lingering fragrance left by a loved one, and one who is lost (or saved????)
ReplyDeleteExcellent!
ReplyDeleteBlessings
Nice!
