A fine stacked limerick here Ginda! What a con! I don't think it was a case of you being naive, Ginda. Anyone could have entered that to promote their writing. But at least you got a great verse out of those schemers! Good luck! Debbie

Thank you, Debbie.

Great topic for a stacked limerick challenge. I began to think that there were more people making money from would-be writers than actual writers making money from writing. I'm glad you learned the real goal. Best wishes in the contest!

It is good to step back and wonder what is in it for the advertiser, isn't it? So often, we can get caught up in the moment and hope for the prize.
Excellent limerick form in your story. Best of luck in the contest.

Yes, there are many of those schemes around ready to dampen a new writers dreams. This is a good warning told in Limericks Ginda. Great flow, which I find is hard to get but essential for a Limerick. Cheers

Your stacked limerick is a good warning to new writers. There are a lot of contests, challenges, and "offers" out there that are not as helpful as they seem. Your poem told a full story, and worked in the limerick style. I think this is a solid contender in this contest.

Comment from Wendy G
A very relevant topic for all of us to take note of. They do cash in on our dreams and aspirations to see our work published. They do well out of their schemes and we get precious little. Your stacked limericks are very well done, and the theme idea is original and creative. Best wishes for the contest.

Writers beware. There are many schemes out there looking to cash in on the dreams of writers. Phony anthems, and internet contests.
This is very good and I'm glad you found out before it was too late.

Comment from Carol Clark2
Good limericks, and a great story. Actually, this is a good warning for writers to not get caught in a scheme that will hurt them in the end. I've learned it's good to do some research before submitting. So many of us get caught up in schemes of one sort or another. So many 'bad guys' out there! Thanks for sharing, and best wishes in the contest. Carol

That experience was unfortunate but at least now know and can warn others so I hope such supposed businesses fail. Your limerick works and is good for the contest. Best wishes!

We've all been there. You have summed up the situation perfectly in these well-formed limericks. Clever lines and a pertinent idea. Well done and good luck in the competition.
