Having closed
Part One of this thread
we will now post in here instead
please feel free to quote
the things that we wrote
or refer to the things that we said.
In case you missed the tutorial, this is a limerick:
QUOTE(Lorelei du Lac @ Feb 1 2007, 10:14 PM)
To be a Limerick, a verse MUST have:
Five lines
Lines one, two, and five MUST each have exactly three metric feet
Lines three and four MUST each have exactly two metric feet
Lines one, two, and five MUST rhyme
Lines three and four MUST rhyme
Any nonsense poem that lacks five lines, thirteen metric feet, or the aabba rhyme pattern is simply not a Limerick. It might be a sing-song or a la-de-da, but it's not a Limerick.
Happy posting ... have fun
May your verses be inspired

im terrible at writing a limerick,
the words in my head dont seem to stick,
so i'll have a tea,
or watch some tv,
and then i'll get right back on to it.
howzat?

It's good, Richard!
I want to proclaim admiration for Ron
Whom I think is a number one
He's kind and brave
His friends he will save
And his story will go on.
I wanted to write a little appreciation piece for Ron because I think he's a great character who gets bashed too much. I'll write one for Ginny later.

Yeah, Ron sometimes gets given a hard time
Ron Weasley's a really great guy
he started off poor and quite shy
he's been a true friend
from start through to end
he's not perfect but neither am I.

Yeah Part Two already .. there were 48 pages of Limericks in the previous thread lol. That's kind of huge for a thread
This isnt The Search For John Gissing
I'd been wondering if Bibs was missing
but she has been found
and is hanging round
writing new rocking rhymes we're not dissing.

Yay limericks! This thread will never die!!!
Great limericks so far everyone!! I came up with a quick one, just so I'd have one in Part 2:
In Gringotts Bank you can store
Galleons, Sickles, and more
Rare cups or a sword,
All you can afford,
Unless you're a Weasley and poor.

Ginny is not at all mild
She is a special, seventh child.
Shell stand up for her friends
If someone offends
Cruelty makes her go wild.

You'd better not mess with Ginevra
Because you'll regret it forever
She has a Bat-Bogey Hex
And you'll suffer its effects
So you had better be clever!
I really don't like the last line - any suggestions?

This is an
hommage to Ginny
she may be quite short and quite skinny
but dont you vex her!
This bat-bogey hexer
will make you look like one big ninny
spacecowgirl
Sep 15 2007, 09:16 PM
Ginny, huh...OK:
Her hair is the color of fire.
Her Bat-Bogey hexes inspire.
She's not fond of Cho,
The reason that's so
Is Harry's her secret desire._____________________________________
I've wanted to do an Aberforth limerick, not so easy to do, but here it is:
Aberforth and Albus were bros.
And one day the two came to blows
Albus had been snooty
And shirking his duty
So Abe punched him right in the nose!QUOTE(luna_sparkle @ Sep 15 2007, 08:54 AM)

lupins my favourite person,

but since deathly hallow,

There's no better things than half-Kneazles
for warning of bad rats or measles
except for perhaps
some Marauder's Maps
that Fred and George stole - oh those weasels!
lol so I thought of writing an ode to Crookshanks but, the only thing that I could think of to rhyme with Crookshanks is Tom Hanks which just went off on a really weird tangent lol. But I kind of felt inspired to write about our super-cat

Yeah the last line's often the problem. In a limerick, your last line has to rhyme with the first 2--so your last line should actually rhyme with Dean.
For example:
"And then turned a strange shade of green" would work for the last line.
But your limerick is otherwise good, and it's funny, and that's a plus cuz they're better when they're funny!

Hermione's cat Crookshanks is wise.

This limerick is to allude
to a fact that I had to conclude :
we may get called geeky
because we love Leaky
but who cares, and we sure love our food
lol so in case anyones thinking
huh food?, it's not only that it ryhmes but it has been a hot topic of discussion in certain circles lol & the wonder that is food has totally inspired me to write a
Really Bad Poem erm an
hommage

If to the Brit thread you go
You will discuss iced gems and Umbongo
They're the snacks of the thread
Which you may have read
And they come in colours of the rainbow!
I don't think the ryhming pattern's that great.just a little shameless advertising for the Brit thread.
(And I don't think the last line's that great either - any suggestions?)
