No one ever said anything about TRUE rhyming so he should be able to do all the others....right?

just some obviouse help

i gotta agree with david here. it sounds the same to me. therefore it rhymes to me.

Definitions of rhyme:

verb: compose rhymes
noun: a piece of poetry
noun: correspondence in the sounds of two or more lines (esp. final sounds)

erkle and purple definately have a "correspondence in sound"

Eddie, you shoulda learned this by now. Haven't you read Shakespeare's poetry?If anyone makes any negative remarks about Shakespeare I'll scream so loud your monitor will crack! There are even such rhymes as forced rhymes that really don't sound anything alike. They are still considered to be rhymes. Nothing in the English language is without exception so...

Do ya get it now? You don't have to understand it or even like it but face it, that's the way it is. You can't change it so don't make yourself seem uneducated (I'm not saying that you are just that you make it sound that way by your comments).

the one place i thought i was safe from shakespeare...

There's nothing wrong with Shakespeare. If you remember, on the old forums there was a thread about fav. quotes, Shakespeare shwed up a lot. It's really not that bad if you read the good plays.

yeah, well ill have to remember to tell my english teachers that. but i dont know...cuz even if you read good ones the teachers still gonna take a month per act and completely analyze the goodness out of it.

Technically, it's not rhyming Carolyn. Read Joelster's reply.

People were talking earlier about making up words to make things rhyme. Has anyone ever read the poem Jaberwocky by Lewis Carroll? My freshman English teacher, the loon she was, made us replace all of the non-sense words with real words, keeping the same rythm and rhyme sceme to the poem. Needless to say, I didn't complete that assignement (oops!). The words are below.

The Jaberwocky

By Lewis Carroll

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought-
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffing through the tugey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And hast thou slain the Jaberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did grye and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

And I thought my English teachers were bad...

I LOVE that poem, i memorized it because nonsense poetry is SUCH an ispiration to my own work. Well goto go
Flair - Chock one more post on that board!

Through the Looking Glass and Alice in Wonderland are the next best thing to Shakespeare. The Walrus and the Carpenter is one of my favs. I also like You are Old Father William. Based on jOelsters post it is rhyming, just not the traditional rhyme to which you are refering, Eddie. Trust me. I know about English classes, why do you think I like Shakespeare so much?
...forty thousand brothers could not, with all their quantity of love, make up my sum.
Shakespeare is really romantic, and most people wouldn't realize it if you used some of his lines (hint hint Eddie, use this to your advantage)

Wait a sec: I think I have an idea that doesn't involve blowing something up! YES!

Thank you Carolyn.

an idea...without...a hand granade???
