Okay, okay. I kid. This has taken me DAYS.
Sure. There have been a few limericks that have popped out, but none contest worthy.
Until now.๐
Behold. In all its completely honest glory๐....
Bet you're wondering, "Why the limerick, Carrie?"
Well, it's a contest, of course!
There's still time to enter! Do it! There's prize money at stake. You know you want some.
CONTEST HERE. Deadline October 6th!
So you have no excuses.๐
What's a limerick?
It's a 5 lined poem where lines 1,2 & 5 rhyme and have the same # of syllables. And lines 3 & 4 rhyme and have the same # of syllables.
| A | (7, 8 or 9 syllables*) |
|---|---|
| A | (7, 8 or 9) |
| B | (5 or 6) |
| B | (5 or 6) |
| A | (7, 8 or 9) |
*Note: If the first line is seven syllables, the second and fifth lines require the same meter (seven syllables each, too); if the third line is five , the fourth line must be five, too.
Also, note: I took artistic expression on my last line. I could have made it two less syllables, but feel it better this way.
