Here's CaroBearo's Poem

I come from the village of Weems
where nothing is quite as it seems!
The name promised by boat
(which 'scaped like a goat!)
left nothing but half empty dreams...

Hmmm. A limerick of chiaroscuro. You art lovers will know that this "light/dark" technique in painting was developed during the Renaissance. Here, the CaroBearo has used the same technique in poetry: a silly form (the limerick)with a subtext of unreality and unfulfilled vision. It seems to beg for additional verses . . .
