Limericks and haiku's have some qualities that they share but these two forms of poetry are very different. Haiku's are a from of traditional Japanese poetry, unlike Limerick's origin which is unknown. They are both similar though because each of these forms of poetry have evolved throughout the years and can be used to express, most commonly, feeling towards nature. A haiku's format is much different then any type of poetry, it consists of 3 lines, the firs and last lines of a haiku's only have 5 syllables while the middles line has seven, they generally do not rhyme. Limericks format consist of 5 lines and his usually humorous, <span>The first, second, and fifth lines must have seven to ten syllables while rhyming and having the same verbal rhythm. The third and fourth lines only have to have five to seven syllables, and have to rhyme with each other and have the same rhythm. These two forms are similar in another way, as you can see both of the forms consist of a specific amount of syllables in their lines, although they do not have the same amount needed. Limericks and Haiku are all forms of poetry but poetry is very diverse and similar at the same time! </span><span> P.S Here are two examples : Limerick </span>Caves of blue. Strike the hue. Westward, burning. Pages turning. Indiana. Ripe banana. Happiness approaches. <span>Serpents and roaches.</span> Haiku: Practice makes perfect Ha.Ha, ha, I don't think so Ingnore my sobbing
these are both from the Book The Trails of Apollo, the Hidden Oracle by rick Riordan I DO NOT own these.
The basic idea of this quote )and the lines that come before it) is that one must live life to the fullest extent possible. Thoreau is giving this as his reason for coming out into the woods. He doesn't want to be in the position where, when he's about to die, he realizes that he never really lived.
