Sorry; I don’t know what that means?
Limericks / More Urbis Writer Limericks
Urbis is home to some writers
who, like many UFO sighters,
imagine vividly
ideas quite riddley,
penned in opaque lines, not light verse.
Some writers who call Urbis home,
Should not be allowed far to roam,
Without dictionary,
Or spell check, verily,
For their typos cause readers to groan.
There was a young writer on Urbis,
whose writing pretentious and mirthless
lacked rhyme and reason,
and wisdom’s season;
Quite frankly, I thought it was worthless.

Hahahaha! Very funny and true. Perhaps if you do this again you could include a limerick about the influx of NaNoWriMo writers…

Although one of your ranking criteria is “To Be Understood…,” do you think you will be understood by those whom you speak of? (I am always paranoid of my own blindness.)
Overall, it was great. I laughed.
The only line I got hung up on was ”...not light verse.” It just didn’t have the flow or impact to match the rest of your verse for me.

I like the second stanza LOL. Their typos make readers groan. THAT’S A LESSON TO ALL MEMBERS OF URBIS. If you don’t take the time to check your pieces for grammar, what makes you think our reviewers will be willing to read. I give ones to all pieces with at least one grammatical error, even if it was the best piece.
Anyway, the limerick over all was funny. I did like the second stanza overall. And also the third stanza was somewhat umpredictable.

The second and third are terrific. They capture quite deftly the Urbis experience.
The first limerick has a slightly odd rhyme in the last line.
maybe rhyme with “pillow biters” or something more caustic.
funny though. great job.

Ahaha well you gave me a good laugh, as I have thought that about many pieces. EVEN THOUGH thats opinion and we arent supposed to review on opinion. Since you wrote about spellcheck and grammar, I was glad to see I couldnt find any spelling mistakes.
As you MUST know limericks are supposed to be 9-9-6-6-9, but of course we have poetic lisence. Generally they flow very well, the last 2 quite well. The first one was a bit rough in the last 3 lines. “Light verse” a bit of a stretch for rhyme, but points for creativity.
Overall well done, not much bad to say.=)

Good News/Bad News:
The good news is the topic is urbis related and germane (some might disagree w/ me here saying writing about urbis is worthless) I disagree.
The topic is clever.
The bad news is that as a limerick it fails in many of the areas that govern the definition of the discipline of limerick-dom. Faulty meter, lack of consistent anapestic (not antisceptic) rhyming, and lack of rhyme scheme.
I did like how you rhymed urbis with mirthless and worthless.
Thanks for sharing.
