Description: Writing 201: Day 2. The Challenge: a journey theme in limerick form with alliteration.
Today’s poem was inspired by my snowy commute (to and from) work. Not sure I succeeded much with alliteration, but I had to change my rhyming choices so much, I didn’t much care to make more of an alliterative effort afterwards!
Light flakes heaped soon into domes
As I nervously drove through the foam
I’d let out a breath
When the brush of my death
Occurred one minute from home
I’m with you on this one, after getting around the rhyme and scan the alliteration was just too hard for me. I do like your limerick and the story it tells.

I found using both alliteration and a specific rhyme scheme difficult too, but you’ve done a great job here.
