A Limerick Stretch - A Limersix I have masterminded a Limersix Not bad for an ageing geriatric That's writing six lines In poetry rhyme And all in good time You have crafted something simply sublime. 16th May 2021 *+*+* A Limersix is made up of 6 lines… Lines 1, 2 and 6 have 7 to 10 syllables Lines 3, 4 and 5 have 5 to 7 syllables Lines 1 and 2 rhyme Lines 3, 4, 5 and 6 rhyme
