A limerick is the highly sophisticated and elaborate type of poetry; it is often called the highest form of lyricism. Limericks can take several forms.
The Squeaky Clean[edit | edit source]
cummings, Thomas, all that rot
None of their lines are very much hot
Some limericks are gaudy
Often dirty, often bawdy
But others are not.
The Unconventional[edit | edit source]
First, two lines that rhyme
Are required all of the time
Then two more
Lines three and four
The last rhymes with nothing.
The Limeraiku[edit | edit source]
Combine the two kinds
Five syllables in odd lines
Even have seven
Not twenty, not eleven
Now your poem shines
The Place in Ireland[edit | edit source]
It's a place in Ireland.
