[Linda]

Eve, I got confused too with the lines at first. But I think the first two lines rhyme and then you have a different line with a following one that rhymes with it. Then the last line rhymes back with the first two.

In the land of mist and dew

[MaKa]

These are some of the early posts from
Alan and Sue. Sorry , I had trouble posting
it all before. Hope this will display.


Here is a classic limerick as an example:

There was an old man of Darjeeling
Who boarded a bus bound for Ealing
It said on the door
`Don't spit on the floor'
So he stood up and spat on the ceiling.

**************************************

A clumsy young fellow named Tim (A)
was never informed how to swim. (A)
He fell off a dock (
and sunk like a rock. (
And that was the end of him. (A)

okay the first and second rhyme
third and fourth rhyme
and the last rhymes with the first...right?

So the rhythm (scansion) of a limerick is like:

Di Dah-Dah Di Dah-Dah Di Dah
Di Dah-Dah Di Dah-Dah Di Dah
Di Dah-Dah Di Dah
Di Dah-Dah Di Dah
Di Dah-Dah Di Dah-Dah Di Dah

*******************************************************
MaKa

Don't know where this will surface in the scheme
of things.--- Yes, Linda, one definitely expects 'superior'
