Limericks / There was a young man from Texas (Analysis)

It was okay, but the first line didn’t really rhyme well enough with the second and last line for a limerick. The rhythm is not consistent and doesn’t flow all that well. Just on humor, it’s good, but as far as a limerick goes, only so-so.

well, first off i am not too familiar with limericks, but i really liked the theme in this one!  hah : ]  very nice.  to me it had a nice flow loved the last line.. great work

good one.  funny.

Well I’m not one for limericks, sorry! But not bad.

Well, it’s a limerick, but there’s no definite rhyme scheme, and no I don’t find it funny but that’s just my personal opinion.

no I didn’t say there wasn’t any rhyme, I said there was no definite rhyme SCHEME. There’s a difference. And limericks, are supposed to have a set rhyme scheme.

I think that this idea for the limerick is a very good one.

What you need to do is work out the syllables in your sentences. Make the words fit into a 9/9/...5/5/...9 pattern and you’ll be fine. If you would like any help from me, just message me, I’ll be willing to help with anything on it that I can.

Although some people make there’s longer I think that then, they really don’t fit with the popular limerick melody that goes with the poems.

Take care,
Guild

If you would have gave me the vote that I deserved I would have helped you. I feel that I gave you a good review, in that I gave you informative information about limericks. You choose not to listen. With the comment you just sent me, it’s like I’m back in school, therefore as the teacher would say, no work done, no grad received.
Take care.
