A poetic form is a type of poem that has a specific structure or set of rules, including meter, rhyme scheme, length and subject matter. Two poetic forms are limericks and haikus.

The origin of the limerick is unknown, but these humorous poems became popular in England in the 19th century, when Edward Lear’s A Book of Nonsense was printed. Limericks have five lines that rhyme AABBA, and they’re sometimes rude or vulgar to the point of obscenity.

Haikus are another type of short poem, containing only three lines and 17 syllables. They are traditional to Japan and don’t have a specific rhyme scheme or meter. Haikus are usually observations about nature or the seasons.

Read the excerpt below from Chris Jacobs' narrative called Everlasting. As you read, think about how Jacobs creates an effective anecdote.
The car ride would have been long for a grown-up. For a first-grader, it was eternity. There were no iPads or even Game Boys back then to hold my focus; all I had was my red Thundercats lunchbox, the occasional emerald highway sign to mark our progress, and a tongue that churned out Whys like a Ford factory line.

Why do we have to get up when it's still nighttime? Why am I going to a new school? Why does it have to be so far?

Over the course of the first few weeks—once my mom caught on that these questions were actually complaints, her responses lost some of their patience. Though she handled the daily drives with grace, the bluish bags forming under her eyes told a different story: one about her years spent in poorly-funded, inner-city schools, and the doors that would close on her because of them. But I didn't get to hear that story till years later. For now, I just settled into a frustrated six-year-old silence, my attention flitting to the many switches and buttons in her aging '76 Dodge Aspen.

On one morning's ride, in an attempt to run defense on my mischief, Mom held up my lunchbox.

"Listen," she hushed, giving it three good shakes.

I gasped, my body snapping to attention. Two shakes would have been enough for me to recognize that sound—a deep, delicious clack of candy marbles that could only be—yes, yes, they were—

"Gobstoppers!!" I tore the lunchbox from her hands, pouring its contents onto my lap. "A whole box?!" I squealed.

How is this an effective beginning to the story?

It tells the main anecdote of the story.
It explains why the author is going to a new school.
It gives the entire background of the author’s childhood.
It sets up the importance of Gobstoppers in the story.

Walking is not the most exciting form of exercise a person can take on for fitness. Yet it is low impact and requires no fancy equipment. That makes walking a simple activity for those new to exercise. Walking is less likely than other exercises to cause injury to leg tendons and muscles. All it requires is a good pair of sneakers-no cables, stylish outfits, or weights required. Of course, a person could increase the benefit of a workout by adding weights or speed walking.

How does the third sentence ("That makes walking...") support the main idea of the paragraph?

A lt points out that walking is a good introduction to exercise for beginners.

B It says that walking is too easy for people who have experience with exercise.

C It points out that beginning exercisers may not like walking because it is too easy.

D It says that walking is less costly than other activities because it needs no equipment.​
