Haiku is a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five, traditionally evoking images of the natural world.
The majestic sun
Enduring, relentless heat
Is the cause of life
Limerick is a humorous, frequently bawdy, verse of three long and two short lines rhyming aabba
Once a man in the age of stone
Had no friends, nowhere to call home
His one great stone tool
Gleamed like a jewel
But in the age of gold, forlorn
