Alll-most there - day 5 out of 7, and today's 6th Annual Knitting & Crochet Week prompt is:
Day Five (Friday 15th May): Something A Bit Different
It’s the annual challenge to blog in a way different to how you normally blog. You may choose to create a podcast, or vlog, create a wordless post, a beautiful infographic or write in verse. You can post on any topic you like, but be sure to post in a style different from your usual blog presentation. There’s not too much guidance for this one simply because the more varied the posts are on this day, the wider the sources of information for other bloggers will be.
There was an old woman from Ipswich
Who spent some time learning to slip stitch;
Once she had learned how
She said, 'Look at me now -
Crocheting without even one glitch !'

I know.
I am sorry.
I am so sorry.
I am very sorry.
I am so very sorry.
I am so very, very sorry.
I am ... you get the idea.
Really, I am so apologetic I might even be English. But after the haikus and cinquains of recent years, this poor limerick is all I could come up with.
As a reward - or maybe it is punishment - I shall again offer you the opportunity to also inflict mental and emotional abuse on my readers (as I did here) by submitting your very own verse: it can be any accepted form of verse, for example, iambic pentameter, epigram, haiku, sonnet, etc. ... The winner will receive a marvellous mystery prize from me.
Conditions of Entry:
Open to international entries
Closing date Fri.22nd May
Winner will be chosen by random number generator.
Winner will be announced on the blog.
Please make sure I can contact you for your address.
There will be many interesting offerings today - find them by putting 6KCBWDAY5 into Google.
*rolling around on floor after being assaulted by a completely unrestrained limerick * :-D
ReplyDeleteHere's a poem: Haiku
DeleteNeedles clattering
Skin soft yarn unfurling
Socks for baby feet
:-D
Excellent!
ReplyDelete*snortle* Don't think I could have done any better, but Limericks are harder than they seem :D

ReplyDeleteThere once was a Lady O'Doole
ReplyDeleteWho found little red spots on her wool
Her friend was a cynic
said Get out this minute,
And wash off that lipstick you fool!
There once was a tired old lady
ReplyDeleteWho'd been quite cute in her heyday
But time took its toll
She was round as a bowl
But once she was queen of the mayday
Sorry it's been so long! Please don't consider this an entry - it alreay won me a prize in the far distant past.
ReplyDeleteLittle unmatched sock!
Was your mate lost in dryer
or just never knit?
Take care and stay well - love you much.
Babies everywhere
ReplyDeleteNeedles can not be silent
Fetal position
I wandered lonely as a sock
ReplyDeleteBecause I could not stop for yarn
To knit or not to knit
I heard the pattern singing
Whose needles these are I think I know
She knits in beauty like the night
Shawls well that ends well.
