What, no limericks?! Cultural chauvinist!

Summarizing in limerick is a worthy challenge, but it is a [i]different[i] challenge. Don't move the goalposts.
Good one, wfmyer1207
No good at limericks and can't offer anything about a specific episode, but here's a fractured haiku called "Some Blutbaden": (had to fix the plural spelling, sorry about that.) Stars wheeling across the sky - night reaching for day. Underneath whose paleness he runs, seeking the haven of shadow. He hurls a last howl at the waning moon, in release. An obeisance to all that is sweet and wild in him. Before surrendering to the day.

Thanks @Elkhound for the idea!
I had to google what a Haiku is. @speakeasy I like your Blutbad. Very blutbadish! OK, trying to make an episode-haiku: Golden feathers trembling fingers "What's your emergency?"

"La Llorona"
Mother is weeping She longs, but they are still gone She takes what is lost Children are reaching They are innocent for now Innocence is gone She sacrifices Her lost shall never return Weeping endlessly Heroes come for them From the darkness, they are redeemed The lost are still gone (In my defense. This is my very first attempt at haiku.)

"Pilot"
Will love not redeem him They are hidden but soon seen near Is this not madness From past time love comes On this path, his feet she set Love is rekindled Evil follows, struggle on No peace for her, even dying Hollow victory Evil falls, as does she Her heart's son, she caresses With life's last breath

Very fine examples, I enjoyed reading them. Let's have some more, everyone.
Think we're on to something here - a Grimm-based Live Poets Society!
