Thank you to everyone who took part in the workshop! I'd like to apologize right off the bat for my comments being so minimal, but I figured it would be easiest to address the overall issues with everyone, rather than re-typing everything individually. The only real issue that most of you had with the limericks was the meter. There was a comment that ~starrsilver made about how her impressionwas that the meter should be "pretty close to anapestic trimeter and dimeter". In a few ways, the meter of a limerick can be a bit faked, certainly. Take this rather well known limerick, for example:

There WAS a young LAdy of NIger
Who SMILED as she RODE on a TIger;
They reTURNED from the RIDE
With the LAdy inSIDE,
And the SMILE on the FACE of the TIger.

Now, in this instance, the first two lines are in amphibrachic trimeter. This is pretty standard for limericks, and as such isn't a concern. The next two lines are in anapestic dimeter, which is common for the third and fourth lines of limericks as well. But check the fifth line. It looks like anapestic trimeter, save for that last unstressed syllable at the end. As far as looking at the meter goes, it is awkward. However, when reading it aloud, it flows quite nicely.

Therein lies the issue. It's not entirely on, but it is close, save for that final syllable. As such, it is a bit easy to fake, but it's still a good idea to go for the correct meter, as it's easier to work with than just making things up.

That said, there were a lot of interesting takes on the limerick for this workshop, and I'd like to particularly note =BobSmith006's incredibly twisted but amusing anti-limerick (it's the second one). I also got a good kick out of *Queen-of-Marigold's limerick, as well as ~starrsilver's limericks (and the title, too, gotta love Batman references).

Thank you again to everyone who took part, I'll try to leave more feedback for everyone as soon as I can.
