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.
