For the year of 2025, “Poetic Discussions” we will be exploring, learning, and composing various short forms of poetry. These will be a set of activities that you are more than welcome to participate in. Information on these forms of poetry will be provided, along with instructions on the poem activity. Please be sure to read the instructions carefully and abide by them. Also, feel free to research more information on the presented short form should you need more clarification. Those who participate poems will be posted here at the Creative Inspirations website. Please note that when submitting for this activity:
A limerick is a five-line poem with a specific structure and rhyme scheme. It typically has a humorous or nonsensical tone and is often used in children's literature. The rhyming pattern is AABBA, with lines 1, 2, and 5 rhyming, and lines 3 and 4 rhyming. The first two lines usually introduce a person or place, while the last three lines often tell a short, funny story or punchline.
Structure:
Examples: 1. By Edward Lear: There was an Old Man with a beard, Who said, "It is just as I feared! Two Owls and a Hen, Four Larks and a Wren, Have all built their nests in my beard!" 2. A more modern example: There once was a man from Peru, Who dreamed he was eating his shoe. He woke with a fright, In the middle of the night, And found that his dream had come true! 3. Another example: A wonderful bird is the pelican. His bill can hold more than his beli-can. He can't get his eye, When he tries to fly, I think that he is an old man. The limerick seems like a fun poem activity.
