Francine Roberts Poet Limerick

February Snow

The snowdrops pop their heads out of the ground

The earth has thawed so they'll just look around

Just when they think its safe

Snow gets dumped on their face

As winter sneaks back in without a sound

Andrea Dietrich February 21, 2012 at 7:13 PM hmmm, I just saw the comment below here. I don't get it. your 3rd line is already fine. Francine Roberts February 21, 2012 at 9:30 PM yes I liked it so I left it alone,the rhyme might not be dead on but it was close enough

Andrea Dietrich February 21, 2012 at 7:12 PM oh, this is GREAT, I see someone has been practicing limericks!!!

Robert Pettit February 1, 2012 at 12:06 PM Good write Francine. Just a suggestion: In order to make the third and fourth lines rhyme better, how about changing the third line to "They think it's a safe place"? It's your work. What do you think? Francine Roberts February 1, 2012 at 12:14 PM nah, I'm going to leave it , if it were for a contest I would be pickier about the rhyme
