Siriusly Sirius Limericks
We at the Sirius Black Fan Club are starting a Limerick competition! Now, I realize that some of you don't know what a limerick is and are going, WTF? at me right now. No fear, explainations are here!
What are limericks?
[*]A Limerick as a poetry form is by nature simple and short - limericks only have five lines.
[*]The content of many limericks is often of a bawdy and humorous nature, however the ones for SBFC can NOT be bawdy, they must be acceptable for all ages.
[*]And finally the somewhat dubious history of limericks have contributed to the critics attitudes.
[*]Limericks consist of five anapaestic lines.
[*]Lines 1, 2, and 5 of Limericks have seven to ten syllables and rhyme with one another.
[*]Lines 3 and 4 of Limericks have five to seven syllables and also rhyme with each other.
Rules:
[*]Every limerick MUST be about Sirius. Marauders, Black, Grey Eyed Man, etc.. does count, as long as that word, in some way, can tie to Sirius.
[*]All SS Rules apply.
[*]All age SS appropriate language only.
[*]Each post must contain a Limerick, but you may have short OOC's within your post as well.
[*]Post your entries Here, in this thread.
[*]Winners will be determined by poll.
[*]Each round lasts 1 week.
[*]Each member may submit
Up To 2 Limericks Per Round, and there is no limit on how many rounds you compete in. Please, feel free to submit 2 limericks per round for every round! The more the Merrier!
Example 1: There was a Young Lady whose eyes, Were unique as to colour and size; When she opened them wide, People all turned aside, And started away in surprise. Example 2: There was an Old Man with a beard, Who said, 'It is just as I feared! Two Owls and a Hen, Four Larks and a Wren, Have all built their nests in my beard!'
and now, let the fun begin!
