What a unique limerick-al stoy of a true love gone bad. (I suspected the bad ending- that's just how love a-flame ususally ends.)
I enjoyed the read.
How to say each of the Irish days of the week was a nice add-on.

An excellent presentation, Brother, from start to finish. You captured the Irish spirit and folklore very well in this poem. You need to post more of your original limericks. Good job here. : ) Bob

Comment from A. Louise Robertson
Being second generation from all Irish grandparents - I loved reading your Limerick. This form of poem definitely needs to be read aloud, with the "rhythmic beat" of the Limerick, like a song, punctuating the words.
Well done, I particularly loved the pun in the last line.
Just one little potential correction I am offering, which of course you need not heed: In verse 5, I believe the word "shard" should be pluralized.
Anyway, thank you for sharing this little bit of "the old country" with us, I enjoyed it very much.

Comment from Janice Canerdy
This piece is very skillfully written--with a plot creatively conceived. Through the use of vivid, specific details, you have recounted a story as old as time itself, that of (in this case) a man who can't resist the lure of the powerful combination of love and lust, drawn to someone bad to the bone. Love that last line

Bad to the Bone I love your review and I love your description. I like that you realized and tied it to a conflict which has been in existence since the dawn of time. What a great review!

Comment from elchupakabra
I think this piece can actually be smoothed out just a tiny touch, or perhaps I just have the wrong tune in my head?
I feel like I was almost able to sing until Déardaoin at which point the parts 'slowly, subtly learn' and 'Tumultuous tide, it turned,being badly burned,
yet, to her, he returned' this whole part got like jumbled in my mouth.
It's more a matter of personal opinion I guess, like I said I felt like I could sing my way through the first three days they were so smoothly flowing but then we arrived at jammus interruptus with Deardaoin. Either way, great work and thanks for sharing. Later daze.

Comment from Marjon van Bruggen
A most instructive series of limericks and almost limericks. Together with the extensive author's notes, I learned so much! Not only the days of the week in Gaelic, but also about the not always pleasant character of the fairies. (I always thought of them as fairy-tale lovely creatures dressed in pale blue or pink gauzy dresses and fluttering wings).
The story of the Irish lad from Reno and his questionable relationship I found amusing and wicked.

Spring chicken Lady was meant not very wicked, but was extremely whimsical.

Comment from Mark Valentine
Wow - a lot of care went in to the crafting of this. I'll start at the end - I lve the play on words with A lass (Alas) at the end. While it touches on the lure of sex, it isn't your typical bawdy limerick - the story you tell has a little more weight to it. Framing it in terms of the days of the week helps accentuate the arc of the story you tell (and your infusion of Irish language.)
As the Irish say - brilliant! Thanks for pointing e in the direction of this one.

Dear Mr. Valentine, you have brightened my day and helped me see that even when things are revived that they can be looked at with a fresh perspective. Thank you for starting at the end I thought that was her pretty clever play on words myself as a number of other reviewers had pointed it out. I really appreciate you taking the time to look at this Limerick sweet of mine it is a story about my addiction. May we continue to collaborate together here. Blessings, Darren
