lunababymoonchild Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 If I may, Muggle Not, I think your last line should rhyme with hand. Example - in Limerick form: A: What is /a limerick,/ Mother? A: It's a form/ of verse,/ said brother B: In which lines/ one and two B: Rhyme with five/ when it's through A: And three and four/ rhyme with/ each other.

Don't let one little mistake put you off. It's a fun game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no expert myself having started the game at the same time as you. We need your input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megustaleer Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 Now luna has sorted out the rhyme scheme for us, perhaps we can pay a bit more attention to the rhythm of a limerick , which is Di dah/ diddy dah/ diddy dada Di dah/ diddy dah/ diddy dada Di dah/ diddy dah Di dah/ diddy dah Di dah/ diddy dah/ diddy dada and lets see if we can make up some that fit both rhyme and rhythm. So, Hayley, over to you for the first line of our next Limerick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
