My dearest Ms. Harris,
you're a real pain in the arris.
New darling of the Donkeys,
I'd rather vote for monkeys.
Writing Prompt |
A Clerihew is a silly or humorous poem about a famous person:
*four lines
*rhyme scheme of AABB
*one stanza
Clerihew poems are funny and they often involve word play. The poems generally lack a recognizable meter which adds to the lighthearted and sometimes silly tone.
Ex:
Geoffrey Chaucer
Took a bath (in a saucer)
In consequence of certain hints
Dropped by the Black Prince.
~~~by Edmund Clerihew Bently |
Author Notes
