Song of the Smithy
A Limerick for writing prompt10 total reviews
Comment from LynnetteOK
This is impressive! I find it difficult to write with this kind of prompt, having to include certain words, in a long poem where there's time to put them in. To put them all in using a limerick, which is so short, and have them make sense is way past my ability. Very well done!
Best of luck to you in the contest,

Comment from heart of Lou
I think your third and fourth lines may have too many syllables to be a limerick, but I still love that you thought of writing a poem about a blacksmith with these words.

Hi hearts of lou, Thanks for reading my limerick and I think it meets requirement as I have used a 9.9.6.6.9 sylable count and I think that is acceptable there seems to be quite a few variations often a 8.8.5.5.8 rhythm Anyway I really appreciate your comments and I will check it out a bit further Cheers
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written Limerick and good use of the prescribed words. The strong Smithy sings and bellows all the time but he gets weaker when it rains and the residents have some peace.

Comment from barkingdog
It was so nice to read an entry with humor, being that some were so terribly sad.
I find limericks difficult to write. Obviously you don't. :)
Your picture is perfect and the story of the, I assume, off-pitch and too loud smithy made me smile.
Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from Dean Kuch
These types of poems where you're required to use a specific set or collection of words can be quite challenging to write. Even more so when a specific form is required, like a sonnet, for example.
You managed to pull it off using a traditional-styled limerick, a very popular poetic form to read.
Well done, Anonymous Poet, and best of luck to you in the contest.

Comment from Alcreator Litt Dear
This speaks about song of the smithy, the strong fellow could bellow out tunes of a song and disturbed town people, when rain came he could not, town dwellers pray for rainfall was long; Typo: somg (song); well said, well done. Keep Writing -- DR ALCREATOR

Comment from Raul1
Excellent poem! This strong man did heavy work. He sounds like he knew what he was doing. I like the part where you talk about the rainfall. An entirely interesting story. Great job!
