Limericks:
Hickory Dickory Dock
The mouse is now in shock.
A cat's come up
With a mind to sup
And he's breaking the grandfather clock
The sonnet is long and archaic
Might as well be written in Aramaic
Petrarch is cursed
When I'm writing his verse
A limerick I'd much rather maic*
A Texan was once eating rice
When he found himself strangled by mice
He struggled and cursed
But was next in a hearse
Not only once, but thrice.
A penguin from south of St. Neale
Was a bright feathered, eye shocking teal
He pranced and paraded
And to Disney** was traded
Where he landed a marketing deal.
When attempting to rhyme the word mouse
A common used word would be house
But never will mice
Be rhymed with hice
And I curse it as I would a louse.
*a poetically licensed form of 'make'.

Haiku:
1.
A form so debased
By soulless Americans
The sullied haiku
2.
Yeats, Keats, Plath, Thomas
Writhe inside my tired skull
Staring at my poems.
3.
Glitter take thine form
Away from my sight. I loathe
Thine shimmering presence.
4.
Wild tendrils escape
Fire, wheat, obsidian break
Free from ordered place
5.
A form to be used
After statewide tests are done
Wall against boredom
