3 Batman Limericks - The Daily Limerick #8

chrisroberts (65)in #poetry • 7 years ago

I'm Batman.

Just kidding, but I am a fan. I was watching Tim Burton's Batman after work last night and I was inspired to make everyone's favorite crime-fighting flying rodent today's #DailyLimerick topic.

I've been doing limericks every day for The Daily Limerick! Check out the rest of my limericks at #dailylimerick... Some of them are quite amusing.

Justice

Retro

Arkham

I'd love topic suggestions for tomorrow's #dailylimerick, so if you can think of a good one, drop it in the comments.

Thanks, Steem! Stay loquacious!

It really is! The Songwriter's Challenge just ended and I need to stay sharp somehow. Plus I needed something I could post consistently, and I've written limericks for as long as I could write.

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Not sure how much you know about the DC Universe, but if you can write Limericks for Batman, what about the Justice League for a challenge?

I'm afraid i know very little about The Justice League. I'll get it done eventually, I just need to learn a little about them. Thanks for the suggestion, and thanks for checking out my #dailylimerick!

Luckily I think Batman is already in the Justice League :) I actually don't know much about it but the general rule about making challenges more difficult is to increase the number of things you have to do :D I am still very much impressed by your skills with words and rhyme. Have you also participated in some of the haiku (and renga) challenges?

I'm not really a fan of haiku. Honestly, I love poetry that rhymes. I enjoy reading other people's non-rhyming stuff, but I would be lost trying to write like that.

Rhyme helps me narrow down the possibilities. There are just too many words to choose from if I don't limit myself with rhyme and rhythm.

I've always been partial to limericks. Been writing them all my life :D

Thanks as always for your support, @plushzilla!

Rhythm and rhyme helps me a lot, because I got a bit lost in free verse (and mixed up with prose as well). As you say, there is just too many words to choose from. As an expert in limericks, I wonder if it is easy to throw in a chiasmus in a limerick?

I am a big fan of you and @carrieallen for all that you do for the writers here on steemit. Are you two also on the Isle of Write Discord channel?

Hi. My name is @chrisroberts, and I have a limerick problem. I just can't seem to stop. I get such a high from all the clever rhymes I find. It's interfering with my personal life. I can't help but put everything I say into biambic pentameter. And on top of that, I get PAID to do it! It's like, people WANT to hear this stuff. I'm forever stuck in the vortex.
