A Limerick
In efforts to keep our engagement up I’m going to start posting different poetic forms to interact and practice with on a more normal basis. Feel free to comment, contribute, or continue. Can’t wait to read what you write Thrivers.

Structure of a Limerick
Lines 1, 2, and 5: Longer lines (usually 8 to 9 syllables) that rhyme with each other.
Lines 3 and 4: Shorter lines (usually 5 to 6 syllables) that rhyme with each other.
Rhythm: Anapestic meter, meaning two unstressed syllables followed by one stressed syllable (da-da-DUM).

AABBA
A man glances west in between June,
With hurt in his chest in his pontoon,
Underneath starlight,
He gazes with fright,
And questions his track and the moon.
