Ding, dong, bell; Kitty’s in the well.
Who put her in? Little Tommy Green.
Who pulled her out? Little Tommy Trout.
What a naughty boy was that,
To drown poor Pussy Cat.
A haiku, on the other hand, consists of five lines. While it does not rhyme, its lines do follow a specific syllable pattern. The first line always has five syllables, the second line has seven syllables, and the third line has five syllables. Haikus tend to be more serious than limericks. They are often about nature, and they are known for being direct and to the point.
An old silent pond...
A frog jumps into the pond,
splash! Silence again.
