More weatherverse
"Rex Block" at the Weather Bureau has given us another neat little verse about the turning of the seasons:
February 10th will be a delight-
For those of us who are craving daylight-
10 hours of sun-
Night time on the run-
As the end of winter pulls into sight.
The dash at the end of the line is an unusual style, but it works.
Again, good stuff!
Trying to parse the form... it's almost a limerick but the rhythm limps, as lit crits used to say before Die-Versity. So it's a limperick.
You could bring it closer to strict limerick:
Feb 10th will be a delight-
For those who are craving daylight-
10 hours of sun-
Night on the run-
As winter's end pulls into sight.
