Snowman

There once was a snowman in may
Who was afraid he would melt away
Little did he know
He was not made of snow
But rather of painted white clay

I wrote this limerick for the month may. I had a hard time deciding to use it for the month of may or a winter month, because it talks about a snowman. I really like limericks because they are cute and funny, they have a simple rhyme scheme but I found it a little more difficult to make it flow. This poem fits in with my theme of seasons because it is about a snowman in may, which is the season of spring.

Poetic Devices
rhyme scheme - aabba
imagery - painted white clay

  1. Cute limerick! I enjoyed the story and the twist at the end. Kind of reminded me of Frosty the Snowman. Very clever!
