      🍀 THE IRISH LIMERICK 🍀
      Wednesday, December 17th, 2025

      ~———————————•§•———————————~

      “THE LITERARILY NONSENSICAL LIMERICK”

      Guillotine swinging in the sun
      Eternal…Read More

      old barroom lungs in borrowed light
      we swore we’…Read More

I’ll agree with you on fixin the rhyme so I’ll add the s to pain. but you’re gonna have to pry my lowercase letters and lack of punctuation from my cold dead ha…Read More

      SESSION SIX
      The “BI-TRILLETS” form.
      Wednesday, December 3rd, 2025

      ~———————————•§•———————————~

      I had planned to teach this session on Meter, or more specifically “Poetic Meter”, which entails getting into some rather complex technical issues.
      But, since we’ve been rather saturated with technicalities of late…Read More
