My Vote is for the following limerick submitted by Jess

My entire life is full of strife
the violence is unbearably rife
the scent of the blood
has become a flood
more than a gun or a knife.

War Hero by Gemma Stoner was a close second

There was a war hero from Fife
who found himself stuck with a knife
and a blitzkreig of boots
and without two hoots
his killer gets on with his life.

However since Jess has already withdrawn from the race being WS Leader, obviously my vote for Gemma Stoner be counted..

Thanks Jess for organizing this WS

Regards,

R

I have already mentioned that since you are not part of the competition, my vote for Gemma for her War Hero Limerick should be accepted as my vote...

I submitted my own but hey are clearly disqualified as workshop,leader.

Cone one, come all. This is a serious example of form versus content, nature versus nurture, and whether there is any real purpose in reading other people's poetry or if we are all just a bunch of wankers,
with a jolly cheerio, Please vote, with the URL, name and author for your preferred limerick at
