Limerick For Sensitive Community - a Pd Contest

I once knew a poet named Andrea.

Assaulted by someone’s hysteria,

she wouldn’t engage,

but feeling some rage,

she fought all night long with insomnia.


(It's kinda true!!!)

LOL, Andrea, I can't believe I'm so late reading every entry on the GLASS COMMUNITY contest list. That's very lame of me, :) I was the one who initiated this contest. But, with the moving and all, I asked my sis to close it for me. I like your placement in this contest. :) Congratulations on your awesome Sensitive community Limerick win. --Love Linda--

It seems you're not the only insomnapoet ... Andrea seems like a tricky word to rhyme, but in the end you pulled through. Get some sleep my friend.
