Welcome to our 21st Road Trip Wednesday!
(And Happy St. Patrick's Day!)
(And Happy St. Patrick's Day!)
Road Trip Wednesday is a "Blog Carnival," where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question and answer it on our own blogs. You can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic.We'd love for you to participate! Just answer the prompt on your own blog and leave a link in the comments -- or since this week's topic is a short one, you can include your answer in the comments.
Topic #20: In honor of St. Patrick's Day, write a limerick about your favorite book and/or WIP!

THE HUNGER GAMES
In the arena she fights teens and monkeys
Wielding a bow with cold-blooded ease
In the end she must decide
Which of them will survive
The Queen of Fire or her love, Boy of Pastries
THE ANONYMOUS SPOOKS OF FROSTPROOF
(which just landed representation by Sarah Davies at Greenhouse Lit! WOOT!!)
The idea of ghosts she found quite mysterious
She invited them but she wasn't serious
They answered her blog
And scared off her dogs
Their comments caused an electric experience

Kirsten Hubbard
LIKE MANDARIN
two girls brought up in the badlands
see the world through a kaleidoscope lens
one wistful, one numb
they never thought they'd become
inexplicably, explosively, friends.

Kaitlin Ward
HARRY POTTER
There once lived a boy named Harry
Whose life was not very merry
Until magic appeared
And he faced his worst fears
So the wizarding world would no longer be scary

THE DUFF
There once was a girl who'd had enough
Until a slutty boy called her the Duff
Though he filled her with hate
She needed an escape
So they started sleeping together and stuff

Kate Hart
HARRY POTTER
There once was boy quite mysterious.
"I'm a wizard? You must be delirious!"
Even worse, parents dead--
"A godfather, you said?
A criminal? You cannot be Sirius!"

BTW, Kate's limerick about Harry Potter is waaaaay better than my ode to Jo. Love the play on Sirius's name. :-)
