Please help me i need exanples of 3 haiku, 2 tanka, 2 limerick, 1 diamante, 1 ballad, 1 sonnet thank you?

Question

haiku-5,7,5 syllables tanka-5,7,5,7,7syllables about nature

limerick needs rhyming word proposed to be silly or funny

Answer 1

Haiku is easy

Why don't you try to write one?

And see for yourself.

Tanka is longer

And all about your feelings

The morning after

"Had to go home to my wife

Don't worry about the rent"

I once had to write a limerick

I thought I was going to be sick

I didn't have the time

And couldn't think in rhyme

But a little practice did the trick

As for the rest... Diamante is easy. Just think of two opposites and follow the pattern. Sonnets are harder and will require some effort. As far as ballads... I don't know that there is a specific form to it. It's a poem set to music.

Answer 2

Haiku is word art

Distillation of moments

In fluid writing.

Ballads flow as ballads do

Across the virgin page

And tell the deeds of knights on steeds

And dragons red with rage.

There once was a limerick writer

Who's verses grew lighter and lighter

Till one windy day

They just blew away

Until they were quite outta sighter.

I have never written sonnets and unfortunately have never heard of a tanka other than as a means of polluting the oceans.

Isn't diamante cheap jewelery?

Hope that what I do know was of help.

Answer 3

ballads are folk songs with simple tunes repeating like twinkle twinkle little star and....

My example to you is a broadside ballad...

The fourth verse of each set of 4 has the last three words which repeats twice when it is sung.

since it is a folk song ballad it has many variations, another variation I found was http://www.chivalry.com/cantaria/lyrics/...

which is more similar to the one my folklore teacher sang us where the ending is like the second version.

The best ballad of all times and most loved by Anthropologists was the ballad of Little Matty Groves:

A holiday, a holiday, and the first one of the

year Lord Arnold's wife to the church did go, the

Gospel for to hear

And when the meeting it was done, she cast her

eyes about And there she spied little Matty

Groves, walking in the crowd

"Come home with me little Matty Groves, come

home with me tonight Come home with me little

Matty Groves, and sleep with me till light."

"Oh I can't come home and I won't come home,

to sleep with you tonight By the rings on your

fingers I can tell, you are Lord Arnold's

wife."

"What if I am Lord Arnold's wife, he is not

at home He's away in the far cornfields, he's

bringing the yearlings home."

A servant who was standing by, hearing what was

said Swore Lord Arnold he would know before the

sun had set

And in his hurry to carry the news, he bent his

breast and ran And when he came to the broad mill

stream, he took off his shoes and swam

Little Matty Groves, he lay down and took a little

sleep And when he woke Lord Donald was standing at

his feet

Saying "How do you like my feather bed, and

how do you like my sheets And how do you like my

lady g*y who lies in your arms asleep?"

"Oh it's well I like your feather bed, better

I like your sheets Best of all I like your lady

who lies in my arms asleep."

"Get up, get up," Lord Arnold cried,

"get up as quick as you can For they'll never

say in England that I killed a sleeping man."

"Oh I can't get up, I won't get up, I

wouldn't get up for my life For you have two long

beaten swords, and I not a pocket knife."

"It's true I have two beaten swords, and they

cost me deep in my purse But you shall have the

better of them, and I will use the worse

"And you shall strike me the very first blow,

strike it like a man! For I will strike the very

nex blow, I'll kill you if I can."

So Matty struck the very first blow, and he hurt

Lord Arnold sore Lord Arnold struck the very next

blow, and Matty struck no more

And then Lord Arnold he took his wife, and set her

on his knee Saying "Who do you like the best

of us now, your dead Matty Groves or me?"

And then up spoke his own dear wife, never heard

to speak so free "I had rather a kiss from

dead Matty's lips than you and your finery."

At that Lord Arnold he did jump up and loudly did

he bawl He struck his wife right through the heart

and pinned her against the wall

"A grave, a grave," Lord Arnold cried,

"to put these lovers in But bury my lady at

the top, for she was of noble kin."
