There once was a tentacled slime
Who applied for a job fighting crime
It performed without flaws
Until it ate some outlaws
And now he is the one serving time
There once was a bright Salamander
Who burned when up was his dander
But if you say bad things
About the fire he brings
He will readily sue you for slander.
There is a poor ghost named Sunweaver Whose unknown death does sorely grieve her And still she yet tries To know her demise In the hope that her lost clan believe her
Another Epick Limerick maybe I shall collate them into a book
This isn’t a competition, nor is it a place for criticism.
I for one don’t care about quality, and would really like to see more people
willing to come here simply to share their creativity, not be judged for it.
I’m sorry my effort didn’t please you. I don’t have the time or the inclination to write longer ones. I came back to it because you asked - and all my above were my limericks, which I at least find amusing. Perhaps I won’t bother again.
Sadly only @dhjl and I seem to write here. Would be nice to see more.
Fire spewing through gaping jaw
Light is thrown, yellow and red
A roar emits from jagged maw
Mighty beast inspires awe
Engine of flame and dread
Cacophony rings inside your head
Another volley shows their flaw
Naked fear forgets all law
No enemy in range will tread
Only fire and ash will spread
None left for worms of war to gnaw
Loyalty given and earned
Unwavering strength in need
The price of honor is learned
Hellfire path to the deed
Endure the heart that once burned
Return a hero to lead
I once knew a gnome named Sparkgrinder Who left his Carnex with a minder But she killed him and fled Leaving a trail of bloodshed And it took a whole army to find her
This week’s Epick Limerick
and you never knew Carnex was female…? (okay, so the quest text may disprove that, but hey, artistic licence)
