I rarely visit Eliteskills nowadays and probably haven't thanked many people for their comments on the few poems I still have there. This is rude and remiss of me, so thank you very much for your time and comment on my poem "Celtic Warriors".
Yes, that does all make sense, and that is what I was told, so you also saying that helps a lot.
So why is it that Wikipedia makes no mention of these rules? Strange.
Also, I've seen a couple of examples of Lear's limericks and they don't seem to follow this structure - why is this?
And I'm still a bit puzzled over lines 3 and 4. If it's 3 and 2 feet, then it would surely be 9 and 6 syllables...So where does the idea of 7 come from?
Plus, "Hickory Dickory Dock" is a limerick, but this only has 4 in lines 3 and 4, and seems to break the pattern.
Sorry to go on about this, I'm just trying to gain a better understanding of poetry, and your comments are very helpful!
