Each Wednesday, I compose a limerick based on the prompt from Three Word Wednesday. Today's words are: beat, pressure, substance
(it's more fun if you read it aloud - try it!):
Speed, quality, volume: pick two.
My book of limericks inspired by Three Word Wednesday is FREE to borrow from Amazon:
"They made me laugh, they made me sad, they made me think and squirm and reflect. ... Tony Noland has a way with words that is nothing short of astonishing" - Jeff Posey, Amazon review
That's right, FREE. Of course, if you're not in Amazon Prime, it still only costs $0.99. That's less than a coffee. And I'm not talking Starbuck's, I'm talking about the burnt mud they sell at the convenience store. It's worth the buck - you'll love it!
Don't have a Kindle? NO PROBLEM! Get one of the free Kindle apps for PC, Mac, iPhone, Android and a host of other devices. You can read "Poetry on the Fly" (or any of my other great writing) anywhere you like!
===== Feel free to comment on this or any other post.
"No pressure, just beat your own pace,"
is the best way to manage this "race".
So others write faster?
That's not a disaster;
I'm shooting for substance and grace.

ReplyDeleteReminds me of 'slow but steady wins the race'......your limericks always make me smile, and say, so very well-done!
ReplyDeleteLoved it!
ReplyDeleteBlessings
You aced 'em both, meter and rhyme. Congrats...
ReplyDelete" just beat your own pace" Love it - all of it. I always smile when I read your work.
ReplyDeleteYou suggest strolling but your verse has speed to it.
ReplyDeleteI think you hit both: substance and grace.
ReplyDeleteslowing down seems like a wise idea.
Sounds like good advice to me. I've had those days when faster got me into all kinds of trouble.
ReplyDeleteThis is really good!
