No Sonnet is a limerick. Sonnets have 14 lines; limericks have 5. Sonnets are written in iambic pentameter; limericks have a characteristic rhythm consisting of two lines composed of an iamb and two spondees followed by two lines of an iamb followed by a spondee and a last line in the same rhythm as the first. Limericks always have the rhyme scheme aabba. Sonnets are usually ababcdcdefefgg or abbaabbacdecde or some similar scheme.
A limerick clearly is not
The same kind of poem you thought
Without fourteen lines
And that pattern of rhymes
It's not a sonnet, it's sonnot.

What is the difference between a limerick and a sonnet?
A limerick has fewer lines than a sonnet because a limerick has only five lines with a rhyme scheme that goes A, A, B, B, A whereas a sonnet has fourteen lines and the rhyme scheme goes A, B, A, B, C, D, C, D, E, F, E, F, G, G. A limerick and a sonnet have a different meter. A limerick's meter is an amnibrachaic trimeter (weak, strong, weak, weak, strong, weak, weak, strong)in lines 1, 2 and 5 and a sonnet's meter is an iambic pentameter (weak, strong, weak, strong, weak, strong, weak, strong, weak, strong) in each line. For example, 'I all alone beweep my outcast state' is a line from a sonnet whereas 'There was an Old Man with a beard' is a line from a limerick. Limericks are often in the third person wheras sonnets are often in first person. Limericks usually have a humorous subject while sonnets mostly have a serious subject.
