Limerick

Levity of content
laced with rhythm and rhyme
label the limerick.
Lear waxed nonsensical
leaving lewdness aside;
Laughter through wit preferred.
Light entertainment verse.

John Watt Date: 10/28/2020 2:53:00 PM Great entry regarding the limerick, Wendy. I shall have to look into some Lear limericks. As you say below, it's an art form to get it just right. Congrats on your win with your pleiades ~ John Login to Reply

Alexis Y. Date: 10/22/2020 4:47:00 PM Hi Wendy, This is a good entry for the contest theme. I enjoy writing in the Limerick form as well. Best wishes in the contest. Enjoy the rest of your day:-) Alexis Login to Reply Wendy Watson Date: 10/27/2020 7:00:00 AM Yes, there's a real art to this poetic form. To get the rhythmic flow, rhyme and punchline laugh into five lines isn't easy. Thanks for the feedback,Alexis.

Jan Allison Date: 10/22/2020 3:07:00 PM I started to do the limerick form too then got into a rut and chose a different form, good luck in the contest. i hope my limericks don't lack punch!:-) hugs jan xx Login to Reply Wendy Watson Date: 10/27/2020 7:04:00 AM Thanks, Jan. It's a difficult form to master isn't it but I've read some on this site which have raised a smile and occasionally an audible laugh. For me, the rhythm and rhyme have to have a smooth flow for it to have an effect.
