Haiku is a three line poem. It follows the format of 575 meaning line 1 has 5 syllables, second line 7 syllables, and the last line has 5 syllables. i.e Birds chirping, river flows Sounds of nature brings peace and tranquility home. A limmerick is a poem where the first second and fifth lines rhyme, while the third and fourth rhyme. It's normally fun and jovial. I.e There was once a magickal caster, Who learned his art faster and faster. But what does it mean That he has not been seen Since he uttered the name of Hast--urk!!
