Poem: "A Girl with a Dream"
This poem came out of today's fishbowl. It was inspired and sponsored by rix_scaedu. It also fills the "Dream" square in my 9-1-23 card for the Story Sparks Bingo fest.
"A Girl with a Dream"
-- a limerick
There once was a girl with a dream
And also a plan, it would seem:
She studied all day
What books came her way
And left men behind in her steam.

Notes:
Rules of the Limerick Form
Typically, the first two lines rhyme with each other, the third and fourth rhyme together, and the fifth line either repeats the first line or rhymes with it. The limerick's anapestic rhythm is created by an accentual pattern that contains many sets of double weakly-stressed syllables.
