a) How many syllables are there in a haiku?

b) What does a simile mean?

c) Which one of these is a limerick?

1.

   To the shop I must go.

   Choosing with what to adorn, the mound of my weight,

   My shoes chatter, about their fate.

   To the shop I must, go.

2. 

     I once met an old man from Spain,

     Who came here and hated the rain.

     "Though the weather is grim, 

     If you can learn how to swim",

   I told him, "there's a lot more to gain".

3. 

     Man gets on the train,

    Heart's heavy, looks for seat- None.

    Just- fifteen, more, stops.

d) 1. Metaphor; 2. Metafore or 3. Metaphore- Which one is the correct spelling?

e) And finally, how many feet are there in an "iambic pentameter"?
