prostitution limerick.

by Kalikala Smith

her face was covered in ash and spittle
she had only a cast of her bones to whittle
the knock on the door
was looking for more
and she could only give a little.

Author's Note: okay okay, so limericks to me have always been happy. this is my first try at one and i decided to take a different twist. tell me if i'm doing this all wrong or what guys, cuz it seems... well, weird. yay.

i would add "and she could only give BUT a little" to make the last line flow as the first two. i love limericks! i think they are fun to write and whatnot. this is a great first attempt at them :)

Well, its a sad poem rather than a limerick.

not a bad start...but the flow is not quite right for a limerick...maybe lengthen the last line..however, i love the idea of the poem...
