Day Four class covers the Limerick. The prompt is to show someone or something ‘imperfect.’ The literary device is enjambment, I love how it can leave a reader breathless.

In a strange land far far away lives
a fair silly maiden who mightily sieves
to catch the Limerick.
Hit her head, no lyric.
Drink – nothing. Any other directives?

For ease of access, I leave you with Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3. Feel free to have a chat about Limericks in the comment section below.

    Sis, lol, no worries, I did not interprete it exactly as you explained. I have no idea how to pull a humourous, silly Limerick, so I wrote about a “Limerick” instead. Now a Found Poetry with Chiasmus is beating me up. haha.
