'sucked into a twisting swirly'...I absolutely LOVE that line the most, in this delightful collection of St. Patrick's Day limericks!! I enjoyed each one! Blessings...

I like the limerick and the theme which is always a charm. I have a poem or two with Gaelic words myself. Yours is a very clever treatment of an antiquated subject with a modern twist!

I enjoyed this poem, even though I can't decide if I'm happy or sad about the female's "disappearance." I love your freestyle limericks, too.

Very appropriate for the season, of course. Saint Paddy would be proud.

The pronunciations in your notes are greatly appreciated.

    She was a metaphor for meth, so I am much happier without her.

Hello, Darren,

How have you been? I think of you sometimes and wonder how you are doing but life is hectic these days and haven't found the time to call. I hope you are doing well, my friend.

A well-written song about one of the great fireside, or even in the pub stories. Good job!

Hi Badger,

This is a clever wee bit o' Irish offering for St. Patrick's Day. I like the way you used limerick meter (if not pure limericks) to detail each day of the week and the ensuing progression, and eventual demise, of their relationship. This is a great bit of work. I'll give it a virtual six, because, alas, I have nothing else but my good wishes to offer.

Thank you for sharing the Gaelic lesson and story, too.

Kim

Badger,



Well chosen words are excellent. The theme is strong. Your feelings are expressed well. Your arrangement looks very nice. The flow is smooth.

There was no SPAG, no typos, no room for improvement.

Understandable and thought provoking but especially insightful comments.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal

I love the Limerick. Thank you so much for giving us this for St. Pat's day. I must admit I would have rather you stayed with pure limerick however I certainly admire your ability to waver, I'm not sure I could have done that.

I love this, especially the addition of the Gaelic days of the week (with pronunciations, thank you). I think the way you wrote it was perfect, I found it enchanting - esp. the way the lady slipped away into a swirly. Leaves one wondering exactly what happened, with a few suspicions.

I've read enough folklore to know that Irish fairies are not overly pleasant creatures :))

Well done! Very much enjoyed,
Carol

    Thanks so much for your kind review The lady was a metaphor for meth, so her demise was calculated, exasperated, and spinning.

    Oh wow, I did not guess that! I read the poem over again, and it makes perfect sense. It's very good.
