i'm really bad at writing, especially limericks or haikus. here's a limerick i made about dragonflies, hopefully i did it right!

dragonflies are really pretty
but if you don't like them you may think that they are petty
sadly, flies are very creepy
especially when they are up your nose, now that was a time i wish i wasn't sleepy
in short, dragonflies are cool but flies make me sweaty

omg that was so bad if you want me to explain any of that let me know, i need to learn how to write limericks

Just a peom I found, it's a bit long so I'll put it in a spoiler! ^-^

dragonfly

Through the wandering spectrum
Of cerulean dragonfly eyes
You fly without hesitation
Observing the vast and marvelous world
As if it were your own
As if it were your cut-out template,
With an admirable sense of wonder
And the fervent desire
Not only to know
But to contemplate
The luminescence of a fluttering firefly
How the brittle mechanisms of life
Apply
Through crystal-clear dragonfly wings
You carry your mind

Aw, thank you so much for your creative writing effort ... I am still chuckling about the virtues of flies versus dragonflies!
I enjoyed it very much!
Just as a little point ... Your entry was probably more like a poem than a limerick ...
I will put the following explanation in a spoiler to save room

Spoiler: A Short Lesson On Limericks

I happen to love writing limericks, and once I get started, it's hard to stop! Lol
Limericks, like all poetic forms, have a set of rules that you need to follow. The rules for a limerick are fairly simple:
They are five lines long.
Lines 1, 2, and 5 rhyme with one another.
Lines 3 and 4 rhyme with each other.
They have a distinctive rhythm
They are usually funny, but not always
This is a way to explain the rhythm:
da DUM da da DUM da da DUM
da DUM da da DUM da da DUM
da DUM da da DUM
da DUM da da DUM
da DUM da da DUM da da DUM

Here is one I just wrote off the cuff ... Not a perfect example but maybe it helps to illustrate ...
I just saw a bug darting by
A stunningly blue dragonfly
Diaphanous wings
Jointed body in rings
So beautiful it made me cry!

Oh my gosh! Those wings are incredible! I can't believe how beautiful a dragonfly can be! I wish I had more where I lived, the only time I ever get to see them is if I'm by a lake. I'd really like to take my own pictures of them!

Oh! & I wrote a Haiku! XD

Watching dragonflies
Wings wisping through the forest
Please, take me with you!
