\"Podcacher<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s not often you’re able to combine your love of prose and geocaching… until now. And really how do you express your love for geocaching? Do you pour your creativity into an awesomely crafted hide? Are you the first one out the door in the race to be first to find? Do you spend hours crafting a blog post about your latest geocaching adventures? How about poetry? That\u2019s right – geocaching poetry!<\/p>\n

Geocaching HQ staff will be judging the lyrical stylings of the PodCacher Podcast Limerick Contest<\/a>. You have until April 11 to enter for a chance to win geocaching gear provided by Shop Geocaching<\/a>. There’s a few things you need to know. Ready for a limerick that explains it all (almost)?<\/p>\n

To win a cool coin that is slick<\/em><\/p>\n

you\u2019ll need to know this little trick<\/em><\/p>\n

All you need to begin<\/em><\/p>\n

with a good chance to win<\/em><\/p>\n

is write up the best limerick<\/em><\/p>\n

The Geocaching Limerick Contest is sponsored by the PodCacher podcast<\/a>. Here are some important guidelines. Your limerick must have a geocaching-related theme and it must be family friendly! It must follow the standard Limerick format (3 long and 2 short lines rhyming aabba)<\/p>\n

A geocaching Limerick might look something like this:<\/strong><\/p>\n

An urban family went caching<\/em><\/p>\n

To locate what ranchers were stashing;<\/em><\/p>\n

They disturbed many crickets<\/em><\/p>\n

And found a few trinkets<\/em><\/p>\n

Though the steers kept them constantly dashing.<\/em><\/p>\n

And here\u2019s a non-geocaching example:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Writing a Limerick’s absurd,<\/em><\/p>\n

Line one and line five rhyme in word,<\/em><\/p>\n

And just as you’ve reckoned<\/em><\/p>\n

They rhyme with the second;<\/em><\/p>\n

The fourth line must rhyme with the third.<\/em><\/p>\n

Interested in competing? Check out the contest and details<\/a>. The winner will be selected by a panel from Geocaching HQ. You have until Friday, April 11 to enter. Good luck! Listen to the PodCacher Podcast<\/a> for the winner announcement!<\/p>\n
