No matter what you get, denying them, or being too young to take care of them, I am not talking about the feet of wrinkles that grow around your eyes, or the grooves around your mouth. Although laughter may be the reason for these lines, we really talk about various forms of poetry that begin to snicker: those are comedy types.
The form I will discuss in the second part is sometimes used like a fist, sometimes like a slap in the face, but whether you use the power of comic poetry - try to whip your wit, not your anger; be creative, Be smart, don't be cruel.

Cleriwho? Hey, what? !
If you ask this question now, think about David Letterman or Jerryson Field rhyming.
In general, when creating a Clerihew, you want wit, irony, irony, just simple stupidity.
When Bentley first created the form, they had a name in the first line and ended with a witty whisper/cutting but you can laugh at anything, so don't get into trouble.
Historical introduction
Clerihew is named after his creator, British detective story writer Edmund Clerihew Bentley. This form dates back to 1905, when Bentley published a series of works called "Biography Beginners." It is said that he began to write them as a way to relax from the rigorous classroom work in his teens.
must have
* Must be a comedy type.
* Two lines of rhymes, then two lines of different rhymes - a total of four lines.
The rhyme scheme is:
One
One
B
B
The following is an example of one of the first known Clerihews:
Sir Humphrey David
Meat.
He lives in this smell
Found sodium.
Edmund Clerihew Bentley [1875-1956]

What might be there, or what is the poet's choice in all of this?
* Rhymes - or rather, how you rhyme, tilt [ant, slap], full [ant, pants] - you choose.
* Use the meter, and what type of meter [Williams 70].
*Length: I have read or written all the clerihews of four lines long, but if the poetry license incites you to create a clerihew chain, I don't agree.

irony
Satire is not only used for poetry; it is often used in prose, drama, short stories, and so on. "However, satire is not a positive attack. It does not take the moral high ground of self-righteous attacks; it expresses its views through humor and wisdom, such as "Crazy Magazine" or "Onion" [Padgett 163].
Historical introduction
Satire is thought to be Latin in the first place, although some people will originate in Greek. Either way, it has been around for a long time. Irony comes in many forms, and poetry is just one of them.
must have
* Must be ironic [smirking] something.
What might be there, or what is the poet's choice in all of this?
*Type, although I listed this in a comedy form in this article, it is not necessary. However, due to its ridiculous nature, it is usually a comedy.
* Rhyme or not, if using any type of rhyme.
* Use the meter and which meter to use.
* The length of the poem and the length of the poem [note: satire is not limited to poetry].
*Satirical person, place or content.
note
My favorite irony is not poetry *gasp*; this is Jonathan Swift's "modest advice." This is a super sample of irony. If you don't have the chance to read it, you will miss it. Please read here: http://art-bin.com/art/omodest.html.

Funny imitation
Writing an imitation can be a great learning tool. It can help you discover your own unique sound by mimicking the style of other writers. However, imitation - ironic relatives - is not only imitation. Ron Padget defines it as "an exaggerated imitation, usually a humorous work, or an artistic style" in the "Handbook of Teachers and Writers in Poetry" [Padgett 129].
Historical introduction
Imitation is as old as Greek drama, it has more than 2,500 years of history.
must have
* Must imitate or exaggerate someone, certain thoughts or certain things.
What might be there, or what is the poet's choice in all of this?
* Rhyme or not, if any type of rhyming is used, if imitating the poet's sonnet [or other poetry form], stick to this rhyming scheme.
* Use the meter and what type of meter to use, but if you mimic the poet's sonnet [or other poetry form], stick to the meter.
* The length of the poem and the length of the poem [note: imitation is not limited to poetry].
* The person you are imitating, the place or who you are.
* Again, it doesn't need to be in the comedy type, but by taunting it's usually tilted in this way.
