Prompted Limerick
I have never seen anything like it,
it will challenge all poets to spike it.
The rhyming is tough
and humor is rough.
In the end we will write and then strike it.
~~Judi Van Gorder
Notes: ▼Prompt: I have never seen anything like it.
Verse Form: Limerick

After the Storm
Tree falls,
power lines down
pasture fence crushed
The deer ate my roses..
Fires out,
smoke lingers,
ash and soot cling.
Now the cleanup.
~~Judi Van Gorder
Notes ▼25 words of social content
12 days after Kincaid Fires began and from which approximately 78,000 acres burned, 174 homes lost and over 150,000 people evacuated from their homes for several days because of wind and fire threats. (I was one of those.) High winds and dry conditions escalated the fire. I came home to find a huge redwood tree from my neighbors' property had split in the high winds and fell on my frontage pasture gate and about 100 feet of fence. Luckily the power had already been turned off by the power company because the tree also downed power lines and if the power had been on, the dry grass of the pasture would have gone up in flames and most probably my home with it. |

Shosagoto*
Dancing girl at the temple, with grace and control
in resonance with pitched chant, three-stringed shamisen*
accompanies the lyrics, tunes of the ancients
played out on Kabuki stage, hyoshigi* crack.
~~Judi Van Gorder
Notes: ▼4 Lines
Verse Form: Imayo
*shosagoto are the dance pieces of the kabuki theater
*shamisen is a traditional 3 stringed, long-necked instrument similar to a lute
*hyoshigi are wooden blocks slapped together to make a dramatic cracking sound, a traditional, signature sound of the kabuki.
Disclaimer, I wrote this poem as an example of the Imayo for the contestants in Round 58. As a judge, I can't enter the poem into the competition.
