Post — “Ask HN: Can you write a limerick?”
Top Comment — “This reads like someone who just discovered poetry forms exist and thinks a limerick is some novel concept. The real challenge isn't writing one—any undergraduate can follow the AABBA scheme—it's understanding why meter and scansion matter beyond just counting syllables.

By johnsillings 2025-11-2512:55 that's a great suggestion
