I love how you managed to tell a this story through the use of a few carefully chosen words. The rhythm fits the style of poem. I like how it is a different take than most limerick poems.

    Hi Andrea, I thank you so much for your kind words and for reviewing my limerick. Could you let me know what it is you think I should have done to improve on it?since it is within the guidelines to do that giving a four or less. Thank you so much for that and for reviewing.

    Sorry, I've updated it to a five star. I hit the four star by mistake.

    Andrea, that is kind of you. I am glad that it wasn't my limerick. I truly appreciate it.

I think we have all had a problem or two with others here on FanStory - usually they think that they know everything and don't get that it's "our style" they don't like. At least you stuck with it and turned this cutie into a friend.

A fun Limerick for this contest. Good luck!

Pam

What a kind thing to do for the newbie. I often wonder if there should be a training course. I know I spent several weeks reading the Q&A section and then reading reviews that others had written. But it is exciting to join and get started so I understand the low marks they often leave.
Excellent topic and form.
Best of luck in the contest.

And yet, how is one to meet new friends, without fraying a few new ends?
If one may not be totally acceptable to another, it likely means he has made yet another happier than a chowdersthey clam.

This poem uses the form of a limerick well. I like the idea behind it and the rhyming is good. The rhythm of the third line seems slightly off to me but that is probably my reading of the poem so good luck with it

    Y'know Eleri, I find that I can read my own poem or in this case limerick more than once and it seems that what seemed out of meter once, was fine the next time. And I came to the conclusion it is how I start reading it.
    And lol, that is me admitting that about my own. So I appreciate your honesty, more than you know. I am a stickler on meter and I just went back and read it and I thought it was fine. So that might be the case here. Thanks so much your your awesome review and comments for my limerick. You are so kind, my dear friend. I always appreciate the feedback! Thanks again!

What a cute limerick! It's very light heartening! Your syllables are all in line and your rhymes do nicely. Kinda put a little skip in y walk when I read it! Nice job!

Limericks are fun to read and write. What a shame it would be to mute a newbie. Your count is great, your rhyme scheme is spot on, and your bright red background pops! Loved the message that "mentoring" a bit can build relationships and make friendships grow!

Well that was a fine and fun limerick. It certainly does pay to have patience with some people. You never know where your next friend might come from.

This was so cute! I love limericks, and this was a good one. It makes me wonder how many people have muted me. LOL. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes to you.
