Witch Craft by Milou (read by my little sister)
One night inside a castle room
A little girl heard sounds of doom
A hollow moan
A hiss and a groan
As a witch flew past her on a broom

Halloween Spelling Witch
The Witch from Beijing by Milou
There was once a witch from Beijing
Who scared the pants off every person and thing
When she entered a room
They’re all out in a zoom
But only when the witch would sing

Today you can read and listen to one of my Halloween limericks. I will post a couple of limericks the next days. What is limerick poetry? A limerick is a five line poem with a strict form (AABBA), which intends to be witty or humorous! Limericks have been around since the 18th century. Read some examples of limerick poetry in my post which explains how to write limericks. St. Patrick’s Day is often associated with limerick poetry popularized in English by Edward Lear (1812 – 1888). Limerick Day is celebrated on his birthday, May 12. You can download a free E-book of Edward Lear – find a download link and resources at the end of this posting.

The Terrible Ghost by Milou
There once was a terrible ghost
Who was much scarier than most
He howled and screamed
His body beamed
But the thing he did best was boast
Limericks Edward Lear
A Limerick is a five line poem that follows a specific rhyming pattern and rhythm (AABBA). Limericks are often “funny” and easy to write for children. Limericks, otherwise known as poetry for the common man are filled with humor and rhyming and can have a darker sense of humor. If you want to read more limericks check out the free E-book: The Project Gutenberg E-book of Book of Nonsense, by Edward Lear and physics limericks.
Writing a limerick? Learn how to write a Limerick? Limerick rules and guidelines.
A limerick is a five-line poem written with one triplet and one couplet.
The triplet is a three-line rhymed poem and the couplet is a two-line rhymed poem
The rhyme pattern is AABBA with lines 1, 2 and 5 containing 3 beats(accents) and rhyming
Lines 1, 2 and 5 each consist of 7 to 10 syllables and rhyme
Lines 3 and 4 having two beats(accents) of rhyming
Lines 3 and 4 have 5 to 7 syllables each and rhyme with each other
Important for a “good” limerick is the last line; where the punch line or heart of the joke lies 🙂
It is possible to construct a limerick with non matching A or B lines; but it is essential that the overall beat structure remains and that the flow of words allows the lines to be spoken as if they were identical.

There was an Old Man of the Nile,
Who sharpened his nails with a file;
Till he cut off his thumbs,
And said calmly, “This comes–
Of sharpening one’s nails with a file!”

No one heard such a scream,
As was screamed by that Lady of Russia.

The Headless Girl by Milou
Deep inside the forest of gloom
The trees press on each other, there’s barely room
Below a fir tree with just enough space
A creature of terror starts a chase
Harry left home as the sun went down
He got lost as the last rays of sun had drowned
At exactly midnight Harry screams
Then there’s a silence and the moon melts like cream A five year old girl is seen in the night
Her hands are red, and her head is not in sight
She pulls down her nightgown and cleans her hands
And then for a while, she does nothing but stand
Harry comes out and goes back to his house
He says to the girl, “You old grouse!”
After that moment she thinks in her head,
“Harry you should have stayed in bed.”
