Contest Description

What to Submit?

A NEW pirate themed limerick, it doesn't have to have the word pirate in it. It can be about a lost treasure, pirate ships, mermaids, shipwrecks, Jack Sparrow, etc. Let's have some fun! I am looking forward to reading your poems!

PLEASE DATE THEM!! NEW Poems only!!

There will be multiple placements.

7-10 syllables A
7-10 syllables A
5-7 syllables B
5-7 syllables B
7-10 syllables A

Please follow the above syllable count for your limericks in order to be placed in the contest! Lines 1, 2 and 5 should rhyme. Lines 3 and 4 should rhyme. Please have your syllable counts the same for lines, 1, 2 and 5. Lines 3 and 4 should have the same syllable counts as well. For example if line 1 has 8 syllables then lines 2 and 5 should also have 8 syllables. If line 3 has 5 syllables then line 4 should also have 5 syllables. Hope this makes sense!
