Hi there, I was glad of your notes, because I was just about to pick you up on some of the extra lines in your limericks that didn't comply with the rules. Great poetry here and I liked the Gaelic input very much. Great fun to read. All the best. Ulla:))

"You are so kind, it is reviews like this that let me know that not only am I getting my money's worth (65 reviews, 8 sixes), but I walk away with a wonderful sense of accomplishment, and an even greater depth and understanding to the meanings behind my writing.

Slainte to you. My husband is Scottish by the way, so not unfamiliar with the Gaelic.:)
Comment from Bill O'Bier
Being Irish, I always had a love of words. I think these are very moving words. "Yet, to her, he returned...but A lass, she's gone forever"... - sometimes it's very hard to break away from someone or thing that you want, but you know is hurting you.
Happy St. Patrick's Day to you.

Comment from LIJ Red
Very informal and flexible verses of a limerick flavor, telling the age old story(nothing can make her, the devil take her) makes for an interesting St. Pat
day read. Looks foine to me.

Comment from Celtic Angel
I enjoyed your Limerick suite. I visited Ireland 4 years ago and have been obsessed with the country, its people, and culture ever since. So, naturally, I had to read this! I enjoyed the rhythm, rhyme, and flow of the words from stanza to stanza--and loved the word play twist at the end (a lass = alas)! I take it that the "woman" troubling the poet is really addiction, based on word cues throughout ("slipping and tripping", getting "under his skin", "crystal shard") and the need to continuously return to her "careless caress." So, I am glad the author dumped the cause of his addiction down the toilet ("sucked into a twisted swirly") and emerged, once again, a free and happy man ready to continue rowing down life's river! Loved it!

Perfect for St Patrick's day. I speak Scottish Gaelic. The days of the week look very similar. I liked the limerick feel, which gave it a nice bright rhythm and clever twist on alas/ a lass in the final line. Nice to see something upbeat on the site.

Badger_29: thank you for the Irish lesson and for this romp with an Irish lady and the sad woman in his life. My great-grandfather came over to NYC from Ireland. I know nothing about him and have not been taught some Irish folklore. This poem was fun to read. Good work. livelylinda

Comment from Daniel Silverhawk
I really enjoyed this poem.
I'm seemed he was trying to escape in the first stanza. But him being from Reno through me off. Is that Reno Nevada or is Reno also an Irish town?
I didn't follow the meaning of feeling lost inside- crystal shard collide. But regardless of the meaning, your words flowed well and it was humorous and I loved it

Reno, NV. The woman is a metaphor for my addiction to methamphetamine, aka crystal, or shard.

This is a fun and perfect limerick for St. Patty's Day. Well, maybe not for the woman who was sucked into a twisting swirly.
