[QUOTE="lucyray, post: 1131933, member: 24565"]Trying again, I wrote this wrong, after looking back.. H8, Nice post. FWIW, each of us hear and read and speak (interpret) words with differing cadence.

My limerick for the contest was titled "Mercury", and [I]this[/I] one was for fun. Hope you'll read that one when you have the time. I enjoy this stuff, and it was in fact very nice of you to write to educate me and everyone else. Truly, you did that kindly enough. Remember, this is to be fun. Heaven forbid everyone begins correcting everyone else!! And, I DO want to be corrected when I can learn from it. Critique is how we learn (how I learn) Lucy[/QUOTE]
