Good one 🥰
A monk wandering in peace for a heavenly abode,
Often gets wobbled by the iniquities of a strangely bumpy road,
Manifested with the mighty ruse,
That exists to sully the evil hues,
His grit to attain nirvana finally met the fate of gawd...

POETRY STYLE: LIMERICK
A limerick poem is a type of poem where the first, second and fifth lines have the same rhyme and rhythm. The third and fourth lines within a limerick will rhyme too!
A limerick contains just one stanza, which is a group of lines within a poem, much like a verse within a song. When discussing the way that poems rhyme, we often refer to it as a rhyming scheme. In the case of the limerick, the rhyming scheme is AABBA
The origin of the limerick is not defined, however, it is suggested the name is derived from the place in Ireland which is also called Limerick and referred to an old-style parlour game which began with the line "Will you come up to Limerick?"
The first limericks were written in the early 1700s, and they were often used in folk songs. However, the father of the limerick is considered to be Edward Lear, the famous British poet. Even if he didn’t write the first limerick poem, he popularized it. His limericks are considered to be the best ones. Most of them tell the story of an old man.
Your valuable feedback and thoughts are most welcome in the notes section as that would certainly motivate me to attempt more different styles in future.
