POEM STARTER

Write a limerick about a teacher.

Limericks are usually humorous, with a distinctive rhythm pattern AABBA. Whether you create a fictional teacher or pull from your own experiences, try to make it funny!

All Intense And Purposes

I looked and listened like a tortoise, To Mr. All intense and purpose, Like a drunken counting game, I really thought that was his name.

This is great! I think if you added another line you could make an even bigger impact on the reader.

I love this poem, the rhymes are absolutely beautiful. You may want to consider making it longer as it feels a bit unfinished I think this was slightly intentional to contribute to the mood of the poem (which turned out very nicely by the way) but I think if written in the same tone of the poem it could keep the same vibe as long as the second stanza had a air of mystery. Again beautiful poem I don’t quite know exactly what to yet it still has such a enchanting charm.
