The place where limericks go to die*
Honoria
In the underground kingdom called Moria,
I first came across this great warrior.
Her weapon? The pen—
it can pierce beasts and men.
Her name? It's the lovely Honoria!
Her
I gathered up Mary and K,
and we all headed out to the bay.
A trio of gingers
as stealthy as ninjas,
that's something not seen every day!
Cipher_O
In the heart of the deep underground,
a mystical poet is found.
His words are quite few,
but such meaning shines through;
he always pens something profound.
MagicVisionz
The lover of senryu, MagicVisionz
is rubbish at making decisions.
We went on a hike
but he brought along his bike
and a sack-load of varied provisions!

I'm so glad it pleased you! It wasn't very easy, but is I think the best limerick I've ever written. I've found that by writing every day, I've improved so much lately! (not counting the drivel I posted after these limericks, but I just fancied doing something different!)

Oh! I get another one! Or at least a 3rd of one... how cool is that?! 😃
Thanks for the honour. It's good to have a place to park limericks because sometimes they just need to get out of your head. (I'm similar with haiku... I could probably crank out one every hour without breaking a sweat. But most of them are complete shite.)

Ha ha, yeah... collection 1 has loads of limericks that were all written during one evening, and quite a few of them are shite! I also produced some nonsense during NAPO, but also some poems that still stand up. So that's good!

I must echo Honoria's sentiment - this is THE sweetest gift! I appreciate the time you took and for thinking of me!
Enjoy your evening Ellie :)

Limerick For Ellie
There once was a lady named Ellie
She could swim like a squally
And write through a wall
So one day she decided to combine the two
Just to show the world a new
Way to have a ball
She spilled ink into the ocean
Beginning a swimming motion
That gave motion
To poetry
Poetry to motion

Ha ha, thanks! I love the idea of combining the two and spilling ink into the water. Poetry in motion/ motion in poetry... very clever!
