| | Poetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Poetry was employed as a means of recording oral history, storytelling (epic poetry), genealogy, and law. | | | Prose poetry combines the characteristics of poetry with the superficial appearance of prose. | | | Robinson Jeffers, Marianne Moore, and William Carlos Williams were three notable poets who rejected the idea that meter was a critical element of poetry, claiming it was an unnatural imposition into poetry. |

| | Limerick (poetry) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | This literary trope can be attributed to the many whalers who once lived on Nantucket and the popularity of the limerick genre in whaling culture. | | | Writer and artist Edward Gorey also published many limericks, accompanied by his own illustrations. | | | There is a sub-genre of poems that take the twist of the Limerick and apply it to the Limerick itself. |

| | So many limericks build from a personal or geographical name, cleverly rhymed but never used again, that the editor contends this may be one of the draws of the craft. | | | The Introduction is a scholarly treatise that discusses the art and artistry of the limerick, and wonders why this is usually (though not exclusively) an English form. | | | None of the limericks in this collection are otherwise." Like the pun, the limerick relies on the surprise of the wry twist in the terminal line. |

Its origins, however, are believed to have been from a century earlier when the Irish Brigade sang a chorus enroute from France to Ireland. | | | It's the meter that gives this form of poetry its unique character. | | | The English devised their first official limerick in 1744 - a well-known ditty that is probably familiar to you. |
