This document provides information about two poetic forms - limericks and double dactyls. It defines their structures, gives examples of each, and provides students with an activity to write their own limericks and double dactyls in class and as homework. Limericks have a AABBA rhyme scheme and dactylic meter, while double dactyls are one sentence poems in two stanzas with dactylic dimeter and choriamb lines.
