Yeah, Dopey, you're right. One day I said to him, "You know, finding a rhyme will be easier if you don't try to make them sound the same."

He agreed.... :rolleyes:

a rhyme is comprised of verses that end with words that have similar terminal sounds. orange and singe do not, by definition, make a perfect rhyme, which is comprised of words that have terminal sounds in which the vowel and following consonants in a stressed syllable are identical in sound. orange and singe are what’s called an oblique rhyme, whereby the consonance relies on the similarity of consonant sounds, i.e., in this case, the “nj” sound. why do i have to explain this to an english teacher? :p

I think this is the word that spawned all those poems that don't rhyme and "poetic license" was born.

Roses are red,
violets are blue,
sugar is sweet,
and so is orange.

you see....i exercised my 'poetic license' ...

marky, i learned about poetry in high school.

understanding poetry doen't close one's world; it opens it up.

as robert browning said, "all poetry is putting the infinite within the finite."

i actually prefer limericks, but that's another thread altogether.
