Beryl Edmonds Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

A Limersix - a Limerick Stretch

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
