A Five Minute Poem

To create in five minutes, I wish
to come up with a nice yummy dish.
A limerick I do,
dear Russell, for you.
And I'm sorry it can't be de-lish!

(having problems getting this to post! Hopefully 
third time is a charm)

Written 5/11/13 for Russell Sivey's Five minute Challenge Poetry Contest

Hey--very cute my dear. Wish I wrote this myself. It's meter is a charm. Anyway, I have been working too hard at a regular job and that takes me away from the pleasantry of poetry. But I am glad I managed to get back briefly to appreciate your wonderful talent. Perhaps, I will get motivated to write more soon. Again, let me say...I love this.

You sure are great with these--- I can only dream of writing a limerick in 5 minutes --- more like 5 x 10 for me....or maybe I am better of whipping up an actual dish in 5 mins o_O... This sure is a cute limerick that made me smile...amazing really how you came up with a limerick in 5 mins. Only you, Andrea :) hugs to you!

Five minute challenge, huh?..I will have to check this out. Sounds pretty de-lish to me! Question...how do you search for a poet here? I was trying to find the young poet you featured in your blog.

Scrumptious poem, Andrea. I have been busy with grad school work, but wanted to drop by and check out your stuff and say hey. Have a wonderful summer whenever that happens for you, hope you have exciting things planned! -Jeremy
