Notes About The Poem

It's Raining Paws and Claws


Nimbus storm clouds opened above my roof
No thunder, just a meow and a woof
Raining down were canine paws
and kitties with scratching claws
A glitch in Mother Nature caused the goof

This definitely should have made the winners list...at least top 3 in my estimation. Very well done, Lin.

That’s kind of you to say, Jim. I’m happy with it and having friends like it is a much better reward.

It's really cute, Lin, how you kept to the title of the contest theme. I would have gone that route but he said any kind of dog or cat limerick. I really like this.

This is why i say, you are such a versatile and prolific poetess, linnersz, you can nail any genre! I have a lot to learn from you in many things when it comes to words ;) you inspire me to keep going! Pleasure reading this limerick, my sense of humor is usually dark or crazy. Im just admiring your poetic skills in awe, proud to know you personally. Sending you light always

I'd be buried in an abyss of darkness, dwelling in the past if I didn't let my fun side shine a light on me through my window at times. Thanks for the encouraging review!
