Comment from patricia dillon

Excellent

Well, you have proved you can turn your hand to limericks as well as sonnets. My ancestors actually came from Limerick, but that does not mean I am any good at the form, I am afraid.

Thank you Patricia for you review. It is most appreciated
I have visited Limerick in 1977 on a 6 month European, trip including England Ireland and Scotland

I am sure you can write a limerick

There was a young lady Patricia
Who thought Limericks were quite a tricksta
But she tried one for size
And in front of her eyes
A limerick appeared. What a winna.

Cheers Chris

A limerick about limericks. This is a creative and informative way to look at the form. I appreciate the additional information about the formatting and rhyme that you included.
Good luck in the contest.

I think you did do it here and you made me smile as a Limerick and sonnet are very different and created many years apart but both are close to my heart as I love both forms, a fine Limerick for the contest, love Dolly x

Thank you, mystery poet. Many don't know about the proper form and the humor of a limerick. You certainly have done it!

Sending you my best today as always, and my very best wishes for the upcoming contest.
