Limerick- Late Knowledge Comments

I do not count the syllables while reading a limerick. If I can recite it well, and do get some fun at the end, I am satisfied. A good limerick, Valsa!

Beautiful poem on sunset." Then it DAWNED on me, it had set! "

This is brilliant, Valsa...straight to myfavourites!

This is a great limerick! Perfect construction and a funny closing that left with not only with a chuckle but with a very beautiful picture in my head! 10+++++++++++

Beautiful poem and thoughts in a poem, definitely this is one!

2 - [end of poem i tried to send in a message to V., but PH &/or PC is problematic! ] I guess Santa did not notice leg holes, so.... floor was covered with toys, & sweet rolls, & girlie magazines, comic books, & such, as made me exclaim " 'Tis Too Much! ! " mantel = shelf over fireplace bri :)

1 - Bri's Xmas Undies One Christmas Eve before i went to sleep in bed, I hung my underpants from mantel. They were red. Yes, i used my 'undies', not socks. My socks were small, & my underpants LARGE [to accommodate & all]. Heck, i hung five pair(s) in case Santa felt generous, & in the morning i found a great big gift mess.

Was that thinking or dreaming, or a state of sedation. Poem is beautiful.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Thank u, dear poetess. anjandev Roy.

Unlimited fun we get from this beautiful poem. Your are very clever enough to express your thoughtful humor. Sun has hidden but will rise up soon. Darkness can never expel even the tiny light. An excellent poetic beauty is expressed in this fun giving Limerick. Thank you very much for sharing this...10

Not even a small shred of knowledge is ours unless somehow it dawns upon us! The twisted humor speaks the truth!

(9 syllables in lines one, two and five and 6 each in lines three and four.) Well, I would not have bothered...a poet should have some freedom, if not too much.

I like this new way a limerick construction is used, , well, limerick with a loose definition. After all a poet should have his or her freedom, whether or not someone called (..OK let us leave it) likes it it or not... The last line especially where a pun is used for dawn. I do not maintain any 'My Poem' list, or else it would have gone there.

3 - p.s. Where you in Girl Scouts or were you in the maharaja's tent? ? ? [ you wouldn't believe the trouble/time i had to take to complete my comments. but YOU are worth my time and trouble (once in a great while) ! ! ! ] Now, to MyPoemList bri :)

2 - I DO like the poem, and i laughed at the last line, in which " dawn" is used with two meanings i believe: 1 - mental recognition of something & 2 - the beginning of daylight to MyPoemList bri :)

1 - i count " dawned" as one syllable. :) and i disagree, respectfully, with the rhyming, as i feel lines 3 & 4 rhyme well, but not 1,2, & 5. maybe i'm being too strict? ? in doing my online research it seems i'm talking about " rhyme structure" , when i thought it was " rhyme scheme" , which seems to be something else! ! ! i NEVER said i was a poetry expert!

Nicely painted! Cleverly written!

As I have told you earlier, you are the queen of Limericks! I love reading this kind of poems from your pen! An amazing work dear madam! Appreciated......10/10

You weren't aware of the setting sun then....right? ....a tricky limerick that plays with the word 'DAWN'...I hope I have understood correctly...Valsa is great
