Love You Love Quotes I absolutely adore my work! This is what they meant when they said, "Follow your passion." I'm in pajamas as I write this - I like to work in the wee hours when things are quiet. Something else that's lots of fun is my writers’ group. In the spirit of barbed camaraderie, we meet weekly to ever so gently lambaste each others' offerings. Molly (a pseudonym for the owner of the pub and a Web site “persona” for the author,) started one back in 2003 which now boasts a whole shelf full of published authors.
More about Here Be Limerick Poems? I wrote a limerick book!
A number of visitors have asked where all these limericks come from. Though many come from guest limericists who have submitted their work (and those are attributed) they are all original to the webauthor. I encourage your participation in the frivolity. However, I write in other genres as well: freelance fiction non-fiction, ghost writing, and other poetic forms including children's poetry. Please note that I am enthusiastic about freelance endeavors.
I wrote it on the occasion of my youngest daughter's wedding - I was sad to see the last little bird leave the nest and hoped to note the passing of an era on the proper sentimental note. It makes a nice and inexpensive shower gift.
Keepsakes was given as the guests’ favor at that wedding. It is an annotated collection of quotations from literature that are poignant, beautiful, or funny. Books make much better favors than truffles and at one book per guest couple, at about the same price. Chocolates vanish in a wink, but books are kept forever!
Weddings bring showers, some of these might be useful for your event.
Allied to the writers’ group, and indeed, a subset of them, are the Losantiville Limericists, who have even hurdled the daunting task of a joint book production together with some talented Art Institute of Cincinnati students. They provided illustrations for The Pocket Book of Limericks. Now a book by committee has the problem of an elephant being described by several blind persons, one of whom describes the trunk, another, the ears, and a third, the tail, all of which adds considerable delay in understanding the entire animal. Still, we did it, and it's going into a second printing. Other characters in the pub are Edward Lear, the father of the limerick poem, and Kathleen, the barmaid. All the limericks (except for guest limericks) are attributed to her. She takes silly limericks very seriously. Molly lives in the Midwest, is married to a very supportive husband, and together they have five children. All those children have delightful spouses. To date, they count nine grandchildren and as Garrison Keillor says, they are, “all above average.” There are also assorted grandcats and granddogs (oh, yes, and there was a grandsnake, who recently succumbed).
And, of course, as a writer, there is the obligatory “Great American Novel” underway and currently standing at 337 pages. It is an historical fiction. And yes, there is a great deal of the Irish in Molly.
