"I'm a doctor," say his baffled tones
"Not a lover," or so he bemoans
To a delightful fairy
Who's not the least wary;
She'll happily jump on his Bones.

...I do not actually know why I've written this. What is this form? It's not one known in my time and place. And it's not at all lyric.

Even so, it is...strangely satisfying.

	A masterpiece! Wonderful work. Brava! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'm glad you enjoyed it so much. It bewilders me. It seems correct, but what is it? Are you one of my followers? You are...quite familliar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I believe they call them limericks. Not a medium I'm entirely familiar with, but you wield it with such grace! I would very much enjoy following you! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Limerick? Odd word. And I would argue about the grace. As I said, it is not at all lyric. Still, if it serves the purpose and tells the tale that needs to be told, that is enough. There have been much stranger poetical forms used. You are a flatterer, I see. I am Erato. And you are? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Far more graceful than most limericks. You'd think Nantucket was a booming metropolis from the way most people write. Sohma Shigure. It's lovely to meet you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nantucket? Nantucket, Nantucket...after 'bucket' and 'fuck it' I cannot find many viable rhymes. Perhaps you have a point. I had not thought of grace as being relative. Likewise, Shigure. Though I think you are known to me. You are a writer of romances, yes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, you know how fascinated people are with buckets! I write many things. I'm flattered to find a fan! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Are they? Mortals are so curious at times. Any tale of romance has my attention and approval. I should read them more closely now that I know you. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I think I know~ (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I definitely think I know, and what the hell, lady?! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's cute! And true! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah, are you the two subjects? I was not sure if it was taken from truth, imagination, or possibility. It is hard to tell sometimes. I'm glad you enjoyed it at least, even if your paramour seems unenthused. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	heyheylisten 2011-09-26 02:53 pm UTC (link)
	We are, yup! And Leo always seems unenthused, it's why he's so cute. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think the word delightful was correct applied to you in that poem. He is lucky. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No making the fairy blush, pretty muse! It's not fair, I get all red! (He really is the cutest Grumpybottom, though, isn't he?) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sexysonnets 2011-09-27 08:56 am UTC (link)
	Ah, but the color suits you well. Ask your...Grumpybottom, was it?...over there. I'm sure he will agree. And yes, he is most sweet, despite himself. I'm very pleased my first poem in this place was about such a pair and hope you will be my subjects again in the future. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	heyheylisten 2011-09-27 03:13 pm UTC (link)
	But I'm a blue fairy, we're not meant to be red! I hope so too, if it means what I think it means! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sexysonnets 2011-09-27 03:43 pm UTC (link)
	Ahh, but blue is for devotion and red is for passion! And combined they make purple, one of the most royal colors of love. It all suits you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	heyheylisten 2011-09-27 05:25 pm UTC (link)
	You're so pretty! ... you have a person to love, right? It would be weird if you didn't have someone and you inspired everyone else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sexysonnets 2011-09-27 05:30 pm UTC (link)
	Alas, I just arrived, those who I love myself have been left behind. Though there were none at this time except in my memory, so I am not grieved. But I have lived a long while, I know there will be more such chances in time. And there is much to do meanwhile! But I thank you for the compliment and your concern. You are most kind.

	It's my job to worry about people. Fairy! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sexysonnets 2011-09-28 11:20 am UTC (link)
	Well, you need not worry about me for now, I assure you. I am very happy at present. I may not have a love or loves of my own just now but I have much to see and explore and write about, and that keeps me more than content. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	heyheylisten 2011-09-28 03:23 pm UTC (link)
	Good. I worry about you anyway! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sexysonnets 2011-09-28 03:26 pm UTC (link)
	Do not. Believe me, if there is reason to worry about me it will be very obvious! But such times are rare. I have a happy nature. How could I not, with so much pleasure in the world to inspire me? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	That's a damn good limerick talent you've got. I never could get the hang of 'em. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	sexysonnets 2011-09-26 11:47 am UTC (link)
	You! I'm sure I know you. You too are a writer of romances, yes? And thank you, it is a new form to me but I am becoming fond of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	youngesttethras 2011-09-26 02:52 pm UTC (link)
	I am, yes. How do you know? Don't tell me you're a fan. They're usually pretty bawdy, if that's more your tastes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sexysonnets 2011-09-26 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	Any tale of love contains a spark of me within it; that is who I am and what I do. And you are prolific, so we have met many times, though never so directly as this. My name is Erato. Bawdiness is an excellent thing, in all its forms! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	youngesttethras 2011-09-26 11:29 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, you're one of the god people? That's got to be a good job. What's your specific godly arena, love? That's even better. And yeah, More books equals more coin for me, but I really do like writing them. Don't tell anyone. Yes, yes it is. You're a god I can get behind. ... that wasn't a pun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sexysonnets 2011-09-27 08:54 am UTC (link)
	Not a god, no; I am a Muse. I aid and inspire all those who would write romantic and erotic tales. Including the bawdy ones. And of course you do, who could not enjoy such a task? It most certainly was, one of the classics. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	youngesttethras 2011-09-27 04:46 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, that makes ... a shocking amount of sense, as to why you know me. Don't tell my girlfriend I made it. Firecracker gets jealous. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sexysonnets 2011-09-27 05:32 pm UTC (link)
	Indeed. I will enjoy being able to read your work more directly now that I have the chance. I shall not. It was merely a jest, of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	youngesttethras 2011-09-27 07:16 pm UTC (link)
	There's only one of my books here now - none of my other ones followed me - but I'm working on a couple more. Oh, good, she's a puncher. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sexysonnets 2011-09-28 11:22 am UTC (link)
	There will be many more. I can feel them burning inside you. I look forward to their creation! (Reply to this) (Parent)
