Pet Portraits In Poem: The Limerick

Violet X Canna

Violet X Canna        22 x 28 in. Acrylic

My favorite thing to do as I play in the grass,

is nibble a few blades as I pass.

I know it makes me sick,

this sweet green turf I chew and I lick.

Cause in on the rug it comes up with a splash!

 

The Limerick

A Limerick is a rhymed humorous or nonsense poem of five lines which originated in Limerick, Ireland. The Limerick has a set rhyme scheme of : a-a-b-b-a with a syllable structure of: 9-9-6-6-9. The rhythm of the poem should go as follows: Lines 1, 2, 5: weak, weak, STRONG, weak, weak, STRONG, weak, weak, STRONG, weak, weak Lines 3, 4: weak, weak, STRONG, weak, weak, STRONG, weak, weak This is the most commonly heard first line of a limerick: “There once was a man from Nantucket.”       -Shadow Poetry
