There once was a book-loving danger-avoiding mama named O'Kincer
Whose two children (unlike her) are brave and seek the thrill of adventure. The daughter treasures most her horseback days in a saddle. The son is happiest up the river with a paddle. And poor mama has to learn to ignore her built-in danger sensor.

Thank you, Ona! I'll be sure to look for a limerick slice from you! Our students all write limericks so I needed to get my brain in limerick-mode.

I really enjoyed your limerick! It would never occur to me to try this, but what fun to use this poetry form. Did you share it with your kids? It captures a family in a little humorous nutshell.

Thanks for reading! I was kind of hoping they wouldn't see it - 🤣🙃 Some day I'll share my epic Mother's Day adventure that spawned the I-Don't-Do-Danger mantra I've adopted.

Love the limerick form to share your efforts to squelch your anxiety. But.. but... look how much fun their having!

I love the idea of using poetry to slice. I am so fearful of it, but this inspires me to be brave and (maybe) give it a try this month! Love the action shots that accompany it too...great slice!

Thank you, Katie - poetry does scare me, too; however, a limerick is just 5 lines so it's less intimidating for me. Thanks for stopping by!
