Love Your Favorite Yankee Candle? Write a Limerick About It!

March is both Poetry Month and Irish American Month and I thought I'd have fun combining both of those with my love for Yankee Candle® scents. So I set out to write a Limerick about a particular Yankee Candle® fragrance. Getting the rhymes and the rhythm just right turned out to be a lot harder than I thought it would, but I finally came up with something that seemed to flow.

Here is my ode to Midsummer's Night®

If your favorite scent in a candle
Is so manly you call it a man-dle
You may want to light
A Midsummer’s Night®
For as much fragrance as you can handle


Okay, Emily Dickinson I am not and I'm sure you can do a lot better. If you're up to the challenge and ready to write a limerick for your favorite Yankee Candle® scent or product, I'd love to read it. Simply "like" The Yankee Candle Company on facebook and join in the limerick discussion.

Here are just a few rules to follow:

1. The subject of your poem must be a Yankee Candle® fragrance or product
2. Following normal limerick guidelines, your poem should be 5 lines following AABBA rhyme scheme
3. No vulgar or off-color limericks please (those will be deleted)

Have fun. Post as many different limericks as you'd like. Who knows, we may select the best of the bunch to be printed in an upcoming catalog!

Break Away from Winter With Spring Days™ by Yankee Candle

If ever there was a winter that made me yearn for spring, this is certainly the one. Some days I keep upbeat by remembering that it's been a tough few months all over the country. Whether it's snow or sleet or ice, we all seem to be going through it together! To while away these last remaining days of winter, my family starts planning for spring. We think of springtime celebrations like Easter and Mother's Day. And we think a lot about flowers. What will we plant in the garden? We even think about just cleaning up the yard after the snow melts - how good the earth will smell once the sun warms it up! To help us get in the mood, we light some of our favorite spring-y scents. This week we're lighting fresh clean Storm Watch® and the new limited edition Spring Days™. There is nothing like the scent of spring to refresh the spirit and rejuvenate the soul!

Storm Watch® and Spring Days™ are now available at all Yankee Candle Company retail stores, and on our website.
