Poetry Contest Description
Write an acrostic limerick
Choose a five letter word as a title for your poem. Write a limerick using the letters of the title as the first letter of each line. Keep them in order for example
Up to 5 per poet
Lover
Looking out one day for a lover
Our lass, a young lad did discover
Very next day
Each wanted to play
Rolling naked together in clover
For the more ambitious you can write a multi verse limerick using a title of 10. 15. or 20 letters or repeating the 5 letter title
An example of a 2 verse effort can be seen following the link

Come with me to my island paradise
Let's make love until sunrise
Inflame me with your desire
Forever I'll set you on fire
From the top only you can surmise!

Hi, never did this before, but would like to try the ambitious route...here goes
Music Player Play Me
Melody
Usually is nice, but
Slowly turns
Icy because she eats
Cookies in the night like fresh meat
Please
Let me lay you down
And
You will know
Enormous joys
Robin's egg blue
Pretty birds
Labour in love
As usual, nice
You
Man
Eater, shame on YOU

GROMA
Great pleasure for me that this old technical word
Remains in memories, lovely glamor of another world
Often, new equipments deny their origin in silence
Meanwhile, they mark the end of the poetry in science
Are a true deny of their historical original word
Groma is a Roman surveying instrument having plumb lines hanging from four arms at right angles

NADIR
Nevertheless not really used, a sort of anti-
Azimuth, more used when observing the sky
Devil kingdom opposite to God paradise?
I never associate to these images, just a device
Relative to measurement in the fields and industry!
Nadir is the point of the celestial sphere, directly opposite the zenith; inferior pole of the horizon; point of the celestial sphere directly under the place where we stand.)

Goddess of my beating heart
Adoring souls never apart
Beauty of my life, my dear
Yes, always thinking near
Yes, forever, my sweetheart

Reading the last poem by Magdalena, I understand that I have to correct all mines... Not limericks, just acrostics! Only to offer other texts, because, in front of the queen of Acrostic Limerick, I feel small writer!!!
