This is an excellent rhyming series of limericks, my friend. I really like how you've incorporated the days of the week in Gaelic. Very impressive! This is a super example of creativity, too. Smiles, Janet

I have enjoyed reading your piece of poetry. I guess it is the luck of the Irish they might say. I like your poem. Excellent work! No grammatical errors. Thanks for sharing!

At first I expected a series of limericks, but then the piece veered from that path. I enjoyed the story within a poem. The last line was especially good and capped it off nicely.

Comment from Liz O'Neill
I usually don't like limericks. I find them lewd and crude. But aseeing that you were the author, I believed it would have more depth than most. I was not disappointed. I especially liked your life metaphor. The Gaelic additions is a nice touch. Well done. Thank you.

A nice mixture of ingredients for this stir, finding this pot favorable in many aspects, provided enough seasoning to make it a very unique write. All stated in my given opinion.

Comment from Benshu-bookgai
An amusing pun, changing alas to "a lass" :)
The creative liberty you took with the limerick form worked well--the only thing that stood out of place was the last line of the Dé hAoine stanza: "crystal shard collide". It sounds like the start of a good image; however, nowhere else in your piece is there mention/reference to glass or crystals at all, so it seemed very out of place thematically (compared to the fire/water through-line). it's also not clear what the crystal shard collided with, or if it was supposed to be multiple crystal shards colliding with each other.

I recommend that you read the epilogue to this which is also being promoted right now to explain some of the nuances that you pointed out. I do appreciate your comments and value your perspective thanks so much for taking the time to review!

"Irish", is an exceptionally well-written and entertaining piece. Penned with craft and skill, it had me grinning from the beginning to the end!To me, this is a six, but unfortunately I've run out of them. I look forward to seeing your next post.

Comment from Ben B.
Wow, labeling the stanzas were ingenious. So they each translate into a day of the week?
Also, "squirelly?" "Twisting swirly" ð??? If that wasn't supposed to make me laugh sorry it did ð?¤£

that's okay Ben because I laughed when I was writing it too. Of course I was trying to come up with something creative that Ryan and I ended up with that so twisting the swirly I guess is one of my many coins terms. So nice for your honest perspective and candid laughter!

You did a great job in making a story combined with the Irish days of the week. The photo was funny too. We used to rhyme the weekdays in school to remember them in Irish, your poem reminded me of that!
