Amanda Moore Poet Limerick

Serial Killer a Limerick

There once was a serial killer
His life was one sickening thriller
From the bodies he’d saves
And the ones in the graves
His life was one bloody chiller

Tho his mental state wasn’t quite normal
And his social skills never that formal
He loved people to pieces
Even after life ceases
With dead bodies he does like to dabble

Now that sounds rather creepy you say
That killing is how one spends his day
While it’s not quite a profession
More like an obsession
In the end they’ll come take him away

 Authors note: This was done as an exercise, we were given certain words (a wordle ) 
and it was the writers choice what form to put them in and how to use them.

Carolyn Devonshire July 22, 2011 at 9:58 AM Having watched so many episodes of "Criminal Minds," I see the truth as well as the humor in this limerick. It does seem rather ghastly, but some of the serial killers spend time with their victims after they're dead. Very interesting limerick -- unique and insightful! Love, Carolyn Amanda Moore July 25, 2011 at 5:31 PM Oh Carolyn thanks so much! I have a B.S. in Criminal Justice, this was a natural for me!

Should be a winner. God Bless, JB Amanda Moore July 20, 2011 at 5:40 PM Thanks for the comments on the flow, I really try for that even if it means using something originally not intended. I am glad you think it is creep that's what I was aiming for... = )
