I like that you included an image of Edward Lear in your work, it helps better make connections and remember the fact. What is "anapestic" (slide 2)?

Dear Mr. Richard

We found that information about 'anapestic' based on the article in this site: https://whvvugt.home.xs4all.nl/Archives_TCCMB/Limericks/Structure.html

In that article written:

Limericks are short poems of five lines having rhyme structure AABBA. It is officially described as a form of 'anapestic trimeter'.
The 'anapest' is a foot of poetic verse consisting of three syllables, the third longer (or accentuated to a greater degree) than the first two: da-da-DA. The word 'anapest' shows it's own metric: anaPEST.
Lines 1, 2 and 5 of a limerick should ideally consist of three anapests each, concluding with an identical or similar phoneme to create the rhyme.
Lines 3 and 4 are shorter, constructed of two anapests each and again rhyming with each other with the overall rhyme structure of AABBA.

Thank you so much, Mr. Richard, for your kind feedback
