This term my class is learning about poetry,
and we’re all focusing on a different style every day. Today’s poem is a limerick!
A limerick is a short, often funny poem consisting of five lines with the pattern A-A-B-B-A. Two longer lines that rhyme with each other; then two short ones that share a different rhyme; then, finally, one longer one that rhymes with the first.
Most people wrote theirs using their own names, but I wanted to write mine about a character I’ve made up and drawn a lot, Joey Radio.
I like constantly expanding her world through drawings and writing. I had a lot of fun writing my limerick. Have you ever written one?
