There once was a snitch ditched in itchy pride, sick of being tied, to grumpy cats side~ she lured his furry tail, trapped him in a caged tale, she sat, blowing kisses that were denied…

So, so cute Inky! I can envision that little narcissitic snitch smirking and blowing faux kisses! :)

Clever Canary trick that outsmarted the cat. Creative way to go for the contest. Reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Thank you for sharing it with us and for dropping by my page with congratulations. Sara k

Empress, you have proved that you can place your hands on any form. I think this is your first limerick. Still, it has proved exceptional. Grumpy cat and a 'snitch ditched in itchy pride' make an interesting pair. I see the canary sitting on top of the cage blowing kisses. Quite hilarious. All the best dear one.

a fantastic Limerick, perfect for the contest. Your Limerick was clever and I liked you calling the bird a snitch...witty indeed. See, you're good at writing Limericks :-) Have a splendid evening, Sara

IE, a funny picture resolved delicately and elaborately by you (especially with iambic pentameter in the 3 lines). The poem makes for a great limerick/picture combo! I am smiling.

Oh wow really, i have no clue how to use iambic pentameter but to know that i did have some is so very exciting.- and as you are the master of limericks, to receive this feedback is beyond an honor. And i must also appreciate all your comments on so many of my poems, each one with so much thought and heart in them, so sincere. Thank you dear duke. Im grateful

I know you don't write limericks but this a great try, Ink. Great assonance in line one. Loved how you called the bird s snitch and had her throwing kisses to her victim! BOL in the contest

Words so twisty, jovial, and jaunty, presenting an apt moral as well. Enjoyed Ink. Robert

Your poem effectively interprets the contest photo, my friend. I see the bird sitting atop, mocking the trapped cat. Well done, Ink.

Oh, dear Ink, your limerick skillfully delves into the themes of deceit and manipulation, focusing on a betrayer who traps a discontented feline. The language used, with words like "snitch," "itchy pride," and "grumpy cat," creates a lighthearted and entertaining atmosphere. Incorporating alliteration in lines such as "she sat, blowing kisses that were denied" adds to the poetic quality of the piece. In addition, the cat and snitch are given a sense of depth and complexity through personification, BOL with the contest.

Oh look your limerick is next to mine... Love your wordplay here and always nice to see your funny side, even though you added a bit of twisted mentality with the cat being seen a snitch.. I wonder how the cat did snitch... I wish you knew how to add images, I will have to show you when we meet one day.... You are always unique in your take on poetry and this is no different here... Best of luck in the contest..
