Abstract

This study explores the characteristics and humorous elements (specifically jokes and anecdotes) in limerick poems created by Sriwijaya University's sixth-semester students. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach with content analysis within a case study design, the research leverages poetry assessment rubrics. The rubrics assess the characteristics and humour elements of jokes and anecdotes within the limericks. Content analysis is then used to examine these same elements. Stylistic analysis provides a deeper understanding of the poems' language use. The analysis involved 17 student-generated limericks. The findings revealed a consistent adherence to the traditional AABBA rhyme scheme and a utilization of concise language for storytelling (often through anecdotes). The subject matter displayed a wide range. Interestingly, while the students demonstrated a grasp of limerick structure, the study suggests a need for more targeted instruction on crafting humor. Specifically, focusing on message development, originality, and wordplay could significantly enhance their limerick writing abilities.
