Limerick ExamplesThere once was a man on the moon

Who flew in a hot air balloon.To the red planet Mars,

Where he sold brand new carsFor Martians to ride on the dunes.

There once was a mighty big dogWho thought he was really a frog.

He would leap in the airAnd people would stare,

He’d land perfectly upon a fat log.

Rhyming Poem Examples

My Daughter

My wonderful daughter, delight of my heart,I hope that you know you’re both lovely and smart.

I cherish you dearly for the person you are,You have passion and caring that will carry you far.

Wherever you go you’ll be watched by my love,And we’ll always be close like a hand in a glove.

May the years treat you kindly, may laughter hold sway,And I’m here for you always if your blue skies turn gray.

Name that type of poemWe used flashlights one night

to find them in the damp and secretplaces in the garden.

We put the frogs in a cardboard boxand wet down the driveway.

The garden hose was the finish line.

One by one, we lined up the frogs.(It wasn’t easy.)

We yelled: Ready- Set- Go!

Seventeen frogs leaped in all directions,croaking. Blurk. Blurk. Blurk.

The Great Frog Race was over quickly.

One by one,all the contestants hopped off

into the moonlight.
