HAIKU
The snowflake is cold.
Softly falling to the Earth
It sticks to my tongue.
LIMERICK
There once was a girl with red hair.
Who always brought her dog to the fair.
She bought cotton candy
With her dog named Mandy
Who ate it without any to spare.
Haiku's and limericks are very interesting to write because of their form.
The fact that a haiku has a very short stanza, I decided to base mine upon something that the readers could visualize, or even relate too- something very simple. Almost all readers could relate to catching snowflakes on their tongue at least once in their lifetime.
From what I've read about limericks, aside from the rhyming- you should have fun when writing them. In this case, I went with my inner child (that everyone has somewhere). Again, this was another poem I wanted to keep simple. Also, something readers could have a little giggle at when they're are finished reading.
