In looking for rhyme inspirations, I turned to quadratic equations. But there's more than quadratics In recreational mathematics -- You get rhymes like "concatenations"!  - Mod B

A Limerick (my original poetry!)

When we did our poetry unit in creative writing, I often didn’t know what to write about... so I wrote about writing. Honestly, I’m pretty proud of it!

ID under the cut:

[ID: two images of the same poem in fancy, cursive-like calligraphy. The poem reads:

Some poets write verse ‘til they’re giddy

some think a haiku just sounds pretty

to broadcast my voice

my weapon of choice

is the limerick: simple and witty.

In the first image, the words have been embellished to vary the line weight. It bears more resemblance to traditional calligraphy. The words ‘voice’ and ‘weapon’ are colored with blue instead of black to make them stand out. The second image is the same poem without these embellishments. END ID]
