Haiku
Heat of the fire,
Laughter of the families,
Marshmallows roasting.
Limerick
Cassandra Albert Bert Earle,
had a magnificent white pearl,
she wasn't all that cute,
and when it came to boys she was mute,
cause they made her want to hurl.
The reason the form of a limerick causes people to see it as a joke is because of the fact that the poem is short and to the point. The way the rhyme scheme is set up it keeps people interested and make the poem light hearted.
Nice job on this post Cassandra. Interesting how you've been able to work your persona as a persona in your own poem. Very postmodern...
