Welcome back. I miss the forum. It was fun.

I rarely visit Eliteskills nowadays and probably haven't thanked many people for their comments on the few poems I still have there. This is rude and remiss of me, so thank you very much for your time and comment on my poem "Celtic Warriors".

Hey there Mae! Did u like my limerick? I checked out the websites, they were very useful.

I "spoke" to a lady named Mae, And listened to what she did say, Then I pestered her twice, As I needed advice, 'Cause Paddy was coming our way! Hurrah!

Thanks for getting back again, re limericks. Yes, that does all make sense, and that is what I was told, so you also saying that helps a lot. So why is it that Wikipedia makes no mention of these rules? Strange. Also, I've seen a couple of examples of Lear's limericks and they don't seem to follow this structure - why is this? And I'm still a bit puzzled over lines 3 and 4. If it's 3 and 2 feet, then it would surely be 9 and 6 syllables...So where does the idea of 7 come from? Plus, "Hickory Dickory Dock" is a limerick, but this only has 4 in lines 3 and 4, and seems to break the pattern. Sorry to go on about this, I'm just trying to gain a better understanding of poetry, and your comments are very helpful! Cheers, Alex.

Hey Mae, Sorry it's taken me ages to get back, 1st time I've logged on in 2 weeks. So, re the limerick thing: What does "anapestic" mean? Also, if I've got this right then, the limerick could start: "There once was a barber called TREVor" But not: "There once was a barber called TREV" Or: "There was a young lady from DURham" But not: "There was a young lady from KENT" So it has to end UP-down, as opposed to stopping abrupty? Have I got that right? Hope that all makes sense! Cheers, Alex
