playing with limericks

limerick is a five-line poem written with one couplet and one triplet. today we had a chance creating a limerick and guest what... it is really fun!! I'm personally like creative writing and creating poems are some of the thing that i do in my spare time (not lately though...). when Dr. Edwin asked us to create a limerick poem by using the templates given in the coursework book, he is actually giving us the way of using the activity in the literature classroom. by allowing students to create a poem with a help of template, they can have a hands on opportunity of writing their own piece of literature. this is because, when i did the activity, i feel happy and i enjoy the activity plus at the same time i do learn something and it is creating a poem. obviously i will try using this activity in my future classroom. here, i put my group limerick poem that we've created during the activity:
i once met a clown from Siberia.
every day he made people laugh like hysteria.
but whenever he breaks the law.
the clown ran away on a trishaw.
the strange clumsy clown from Siberia.
