Limericks / Do as I say…

A limerick is only alive
With a rhyme in lines one, two and five.
Lines three and four yet
Must form a couplet
Or else the whole poem is flawed.

cute. it catches everything that a limmerick should have. it explains exactly what a limmerick should be in the correct structure. you’re right -- its subtle -- but there. the only thing i would change is the last line.  i feel that the rhyming isnt correct.  i dont know what to replace it with—but it should stay with the “five, alive, ...” thingy.

overall—good

It reminds me of the old “joke poem” – “Roses are red, violets are blue, I’m schizophrenic and so am I.” You might replace flawed with another word to make it more obvious, like wrong or amiss.

LOL…it’s a squeaker and it is very very subtle, but fun. Your second line is a bit awkward. I wonder if there is another way to say “With a rhyme…”
Not the best I have read but it works.

It is so subtle, I missed it.  Even using regional dialects, I was unable to get line 5 to rhyme with lines 1 and 2.  OK, what’s the secret?  How should it be read?

I rarely read limericks,so if this is true,I’m assuming you purposely did not rhyme line five (?).  I see no sight rhyme, no sound rhyme…  clever, if it was on purpose,and forgive me for this, silly if not.

Best of luck, and keep writing
