Oh my goodness, unbelievable fun, Ordeal for my nemesis has begun ! Dreaming a favourite dream? Must be my wishful thinking! Am I his sole saviour, or he has none!

Love that the bird’s dreaming a favorite dream…a cat in a cage.

Isn't that such a clever dream? Loved the picture - see how grumpy the cat is! Hilarious! Thanks, Kim.

Hi Malabika, Love it! Felt compelled to reply in limerick: In a twist of fate, a hero's plight, His nemesis dreams in the dead of night. But I, with a grin, foil the plan's thickening, For in this game of chess, I’m the kingpin. And so he finds, in the light of the sun, he's not alone, for the saving's been done!

Hello Don, what an exquisite Limerick! Now I am feeling embarrassed with my humble effort. Dear Poet, you are one of the best at this site! How come I didn’t read your poems before?! Thank you and Warm wishes ~

Thank you, Sara, for such an inspiring comment! Loved the cute picture sponsor posted, and wanted to try a humorous one. I am not that good in humour, or rhyming...so glad you enjoyed!

Brilliant limerick, goes so well with the picture too dear mala, its been a while since iv read your work, and i must say im not at all disappointed, one that is light hearted and deep too, which has so much depth, behind the light that flows in such eloquence with creative rhymes, i loved this! Best wishes for the contest

Thank you, Dearest Friend, for reading my humble limerick, and commenting so graciously on it! I was travelling for last two months to my home-country, and participating in various cultural events. When I am there, my life is totally different! This picture for Margarita's contest is so funny and interesting that I wanted to try this format. I love this poetic form, although I believe my greatest strength doesn't lie in funny poems. I am so glad you enjoyed it. Btw, I have started a new blog on cooking - just letting you know in case you are interested! A talented poet like you must be great in many other areas. Love, sweet friend...I am glad you did not forget me.

Thank you, Dearest Poet, for your inspiring, encouraging and kind comments. Limerick is such a cute poetic form, I want to try now and then. I am sure you are busy with life, but truly appreciate your reading and commenting on my poems. Looking forward to reading some of yours...every time I read one, I learn something new. Warm wishes ~
