Calderis Posted August 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 She asked that she never would change, But she received a power quite strange, She steals people's treats, And glows when she eats, Lift will always be somewhat deranged. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calderis Posted August 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 A path to survival's been provided, But the Diagram is e'er more misguided, So we wait with fear, And hope the day's near, When Taravangian again is foresighted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17th Splinter Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) Both Calderis and Extesian Are real great at reasonin' But on this thread I'll laugh till I'm dead At their hilarious limerick creations Kal used most his storm light On the way to a fight And up in sky Szeth realizes why The things he had done we not right Edited August 14, 2017 by 17th Splinter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathrangking Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 There once was a spren named Syl, whose personality opposed the thrill. She was bound to honor, Without it she was a goner. and her regrets were nil. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17th Splinter Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Arclo the Dysian Aimian No one knows what he's doin' Asked Lift what body part she was Which is weird since he's made of bugs We need a PoV from him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathrangking Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Lift has a love of food, she is always in the mood. And her logic is most skewed. She eats to power each and every hour. Her humor is most crude. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17th Splinter Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) Wyndle is a vine He really likes to whine Now he's a shardfork To help Lift eat her pork And only whines in his freetime The Everstorm is here To destroy all we hold dear The spren of Odium With it will come You should scream in fear A sphere of black Gavilar to Szeth begat Hidden in Jah Keved The 17th shard scratches its head In Sanderson's purpose in that I Died! I Died!

DrakeMarshall Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 I just found this thread... I've run out of upvotes... ALSO: On 6/15/2017 at 11:18 AM, Calderis said: A figure vastly over rated, By its fans, the Shard is inundated, "I am a stick," "I am a stick," I wish it was incinerated. I mean, the writing is excellently crafted, and you get an upvote for that. But still! You insulted my stick! Deploying poetry. I hope you like my limerick You know what about; I'll make it quick It wouldn't be fire Much to Shallan's ire It insisted "I am a Stick." Kelsier always smiles And dresses in nobleman styles He's known for surviving He's very conniving Hathsin the first of his trials Once, the was a desolation Then it stopped without explanation "We've won," everyone had said "The Voidbringers are all dead!" Turns out that was a miscalculation! There's a god named Lightsong the Bold Could never catch so much as a cold He laughed when people thought he was divine And spent most of his time drinking wine But to save the world, his life he sold Nightwatcher grants a request But don't put her to the test There's much to gain But beware the bane Be careful, I suggest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathrangking Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 There was a listener named Rlain, whose mission was split in twain. He became a guard, to leave them was hard. And his betrayal caused him pain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calderis Posted August 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) From Narak, few Listeners could flee, The others had chose bended knee, So the old gods return, To slaughter and burn, From their forms, this last remnant stayed free.

Ciridae Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Their witlessness drove him nuts, He told them their mouthes should stay shut, To get some quiet, You really should try it, Hoid lived in a greatshell's guts Edit: whoops this wasn't meant as a comment on the content of this thread, I honestly love all of these limericks, just as a joke about Hoid complaining about never having any intellectually stimulating company.

Nathrangking Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Elokhar gets annoyed When someone calls him paranoid. He jumps at figments they leave him without pigments. And he fears death's void. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djarskublar Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 There once was a man named Calderis Who crafted a pun about fair Khriss The pun was quite bad But was all to be had So was naught to do but forgive this. That was pretty bad... maybe another. We have all come to the Shard Crafting theories is really quite hard When we get Word of Brandon An ovation we're standin' And my brain becomes heavily charred. That's a bit better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steeldancer Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 I am quite a really tall nerd. I used to be free as a bird! But now I just sit, On my phone as I list, Crazy theories on Sanderson's words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I make no apologies for any of my puns I second both of those sentiments. A few of these were frankly painful to read while trying to somehow make them fit. For those who don't know/remember, the structure is AABBA for rhyme and 9/9/6/6/9 for beats with the emphasis on the third beat in triples (though in my head I always seem to do 8/8/5/5/10). I guess I need to contribute another if I'm posting here tho, so here goes... Edgedancer spoilers, I guess. There once was an Aimian cremling The main body it was assembling Up the leg in a rush In the gut was a crush The sight left Lift all a'trembling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Many of my own limericks already felt like they were stretching things, and now I'd have to assume their even lower quality than I thought. Heh. There will always be room to improve, And we'll never learn if we don't move, So thanks for the advice, won't be needing it twice, Now my limericks fit the right groove. It's bad, but it's right by damnation. Edited August 18, 2017 by Calderis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djarskublar Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Heh, yours were generally the best in the thread. There were some that were generally missing even the rhyme though, so I just pretend they were freeform. I have a very similar meter in my head, but I looked at it on wikipedia to make sure, which is why I mention it's different in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Extesian Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Ha yeah, I always had a head meter canon but didn't realize that was the proper structure (with the third beat). I think the only one I ever got properly right was this piece of stupidity Quote Adolin. Adolin! Adolin? Kaladin. Kaladin? Kaladin! Shallan! Shallan! Shallan? Shallan! Shadolin? Shaladin? Kadolin!
