Spring is when a limerick writer s fancy apparently turns to thoughts of vaccinated and unmasked love.
At least that s the conclusion you might reach from some of the submissions we received in the Star Tribune Limerick Contest.
About 2,000 poems were e-mailed to us to help celebrate National Poetry Month with limericks on the theme of the light at the end of the pandemic tunnel.
Many of us are rounding the corner on a full year of home life. All. The. Time.
Work, play, dinner, celebrations and downtime all take place in our residence, sometimes all in the same room, depending on our proverbial New York square footage, and that’s paired with a testy wallet fearful of spending in a pandemic economy. We’re at home and everybody needs a change, said Charlotte Barnes, principal of Charlotte Barnes Interior Design and Decoration.
