Limerick - On Limerick Writers Comments

Limericks are for the brilliant poets. They are crafted in exceptional level of skill. A well authored poem....... Truly fascinating......5 stars*****

some people are stuff-shirts and too full of themselves. we need to laugh. a proverb says, laughter does good like a medicine. i say yay! for those who write humorous verse. -glen

We are NOT just mere mules, Valsa Dear, It is much worse than that, I do fear! Not just underrated, perhaps we are hated; before long we will all disappear!

An excellent limerick that describes a real situation; limerick, nay poetry at large, being downrated everywhere.

Sadly, I have been pooh-poohed by my own people for, as they say, 'wasting time' on writing poetry! Particulaly, my efforts at writing poetry in English, rather than my mother tongue, are oftn laughed at. But thanks to poetry, I live on, as I engage with them, either writing or reading. Poetry is the culmination of the yearnings of the heart, no matter whether anyone reads them or not.

A perceptive and wonderful limerick from the Queen of Limericks. It is indeed a pity that schools ceased to teach limericks. Limericks are very entertaining form of poetry. They are crafted with wit, brevity and skill. Limericks are hard to weave especially when our primary language is not English. I hope they will reconsider teaching limericks again. A well thought out and conveyed write.

Sadly they are left alone Are limerick writers then mere mules? Not just Limerick, poetry itself has become a thing of the past. Recently, somebody asked, why i am wasting my time writing poems. Sadly Valsa, this is the age we live in. An apt and factual Limerick.....10

It is my personal experience that LIMERICKS HAIKUS SENRYUS VIRUSKUS are all REDUNDANT Even Poetry has or is losing its Charm But there is no harm Poetry releases all human charms and relieves tension raising alarms Soo compose only FREE verse have something to say inlight verse with which you can with SIMPLISTIC POETS PP ME converse Don't make your life terse compose humourustic funny light poesy poetess

Really? Even here in Greece we keep teaching limericks..it's a pity because it is one of the most interesting kinds of poetry...Well written by the way

Not just limerick alone, poetry itself is shunned throughout the world. It is no longer eulogised as before; for that matter, not even traditional literature is! Though centered around limericks, this piece exhibits the bedevilling truth of poesy's predicament. Now-a-days, only simplistic poetry is extolled, rendering linguistic splendour unnecessary. Poetry is not just a rhyme or verse, not a mere hymn too: it is the amalgamation of semantic acme and expression.

Sadly they are left alone but still Limericks are having values although these are not taught in schools. Limerick persons are not fools but they are truly clever persons who can give laughter in other's face. This poem is very fun giving and brilliantly penned....10
