Notes About The Poem
I hope these Limericks will be taken with a light heart and humor. They are meant to be funny but also a tribute to the wonderful poets and friends here. There are too many great people to write about so I chose a handful. Famous Person or Poetrysoup Poet Limerick Contest Sponsored by Tania Kitchin

Poetrysoup Poets Limerick Collection

Paula Goldsmith, you will know when I say
Always encourages us in her way
She's good for a lift
Poetry is her gift
“So have a blessed day writing away!”

Tom Woody the Poet guru
Who will never, ever lie to you
Even if it hurts
He's candid and curt
We all need a friend this true

Silent One's a talented guy
His poetry worthy to buy
He has much to write
Which is ironic-a mite
Cause If truly silent we’d cry!

Susan Ashley has a golden pen
If enters a contest she'll win
But she is so humble
So no need to grumble
She gives you a chance in the end

Do you know Beatrix Macabre?
Writes in light from a candelabra 
Much smarter than most
Friends with witches and ghosts
Maybe bloody cryptic, chupacabra!

Crystol Woods is a bit unsmart
Though she excels at art 
A three syllable word
That she's never heard
Causes her brain to fly apart

Arlo Parker, not much to relate
Short, thoughtful poems he does create
They don't take up much room
So we must assume
He has no need to compensate!

David Crandall is the sweetest man
Salt of the earth and a good friend
Talented and kind
Thoughtful, creative mind
And he uses words I can understand!

PoetrySoup has all kinds
Artistic and logical minds
When put all together
And we all endeavor 
Talent isn't hard to find

You're the best Paula! You never miss commenting on others contest entries and that means a lot! I try to follow your example but time slips by so fast! Our internet is awful here too... it takes forever to do anything. It's not abnormal for me to spend 2 or 3 hours just trying to comment on one contest result page. I know excuses excuses... lol anyway, thank you for doing so! Xoxo

Crystol Woods, you have done it! Great limericks. Each one shines in his/her peculiarities and the commonality of being great poets. Crystol, you are never unsmart. With these limericks themselves, you have proved to be really smart. All the best.
