Weaving the Threads

by Fox the Writer

Sticks and stones may break bones, but poems can thread tales from heart and head. This is a series of poetry dedicated to the Henry Stickmin series featuring the many characters of the video game stage - the stars, the supporting cast and the bit players. Enjoy the show! Now starring: a cross bell Toppat!

4. Limerick from a Bold Action Man

I'm Charles the bold action man,
a seasoned pilot who thinks he can.
When I'm in the sky,
I spy things with my eye,
then I crash 'cuz it's the GREATEST PLAN!

A/N: Oh Charles, you goof lol. Needless to say, the poem I wrote is a limerick. A limerick is a form of verse grounded in comedy and through five lines with a rhyme scheme of AABBA, and with the first, second and fifth sharing a rhyme while the third and fourth lines share a different one.

The characters are silly overall, but Charles was a perfect fit for this limerick because of his lovably comedic personality and tendency to crash into things. Enjoy!
