| I. Love. Limericks! Those, and haikus, are my favorite form of poetry... nicely done! | |

| Ah, I can never resist a limerick! These are great fun, Dreamflower…my favorites are the two S-B verses, and Gandalf’s. I once wrote a Gandalf-on-the-bridge limerick too: THE TOLL BRIDGE Nine Walkers, while out on a stroll Met a balrog, some orcs and a troll When Gandalf went down Strider said with a frown "Who knew the dwarves’ bridge was a toll?” So there’s an online rhyming dictionary? (I’m a nosy review-reader too!) What’s its URL, pray tell? Author Reply: LOL! That's great! I love it! Here's one that I use: http://www.writeexpress.com/online2.html | |

| Cute! I liked the last line of the Strider's. It reminded me of a line from Buffy: I laugh in the face of danger... then I hide until it goes away. :) Strider would never hide of course. He meets it head on every time. Merry's and Pip's was cute too. Now see, if they were like Sam, they would have had a needle and thread on hand to fix their breeches. :D Author Reply: *grin* Strider and Buffy, huh? Actually, I think I came across a LotR/Buffy crossover once. Strange, to say the least! LOL! You're right--Sam carries everything except the kitchen sink--and rope. | |

| Very cleverly done! Gave me a good giggle too - how do you think of them? Author Reply: Well, the first line just comes to me, but then I pull up the on-line rhyming dictionary and go from there. The only two I didn't have to do that for were Lobelia's and Strider's, which just came to me. | |

| Wow, these are really very clever. I especially love the ones about Gandalf, Lobelia, Otho, and Pip and Merry with their pants ripped! :) Thank you for sharing these. Author Reply: Thank you for the kind words! They were fun! | |

| *laughing* very lovely indeed! I especially liked the "no needle to sew up the rip" and Lobelia's claim to fame. Thanks for the smile on a rushed morning, when I only signed on to print out a map to where we're going! Author Reply: Thanks! Glad they gave you a giggle! Well, of course they had to rhyme. I kept thinking of GW's fic about the Ent-draught, LOL! And I couldn't resist Lobelia! (I know what you mean--I've done the exact same thing...) | |

| I couldn't leave you to do all the work so how is this!!! There was once a lady called Arwen. The most lovely Elf, but then in love she did fall with the best man of all, the Elessar, the Estel of all men. Not very good I know but my very first try at putting something down on internet 'paper' *Blushes and sneaks off hoping nobody else reads reviews apart from the author!* Author Reply: Hey! That's not bad! It scans and it rhymes--that's all anyone asks out of a limerick--and it makes sense, too! You did very well! (By the way, I usually read other people's reviews. I'm horribly nosy.) | |

| *grins* I love them! Especially Merry and Pippin and Lotho Pimple! LOL! God bless, Galadriel Author Reply: Thank you! *grin* Did you know that there's only three words that rhyme with "pimple"? (simple, dimple and wimple.) | |
