Tree Limerick Poems

Various Examples of Tree Limerick Poems & Verse Written by William Clark

These tree-inspired poems show you some examples of what is possible with the limerick verse form.

An Oak Tree limerick

An oak tree is solid and strong;
Its life span's three hundred years long.
From acorn at birth
To thirty foot girth
Now surely that's well-worth a song!

An Ash Tree limerick

The drip of an ash is thought deadly
(I wouldn't believe that too readily),
But ash's a good shaft
Both fore and aft
To pull an old cart rather steadily.

Canadian Maple limerick

Old Pine Tree limerick

The Beech Tree limerick

Limericks today -- song lyrics tomorrow

Using the Limerick checker is a good way to learn the basics of poetry and this can lead you into song lyrics. Master the simple ideas in the limerick of structure, rhyme, rhythm, alliteration, assonance and consonance and you only need inspiration to produce a hit song.

Well, it is not quite that easy but it is a good starting point.
