Friday Fun Day - Crambo aka Bouts Rimés - Reflection

Bouts Rimés means "rhymed ends" in French and is a game or challenge where one person (me) makes a list of rhymed words and others (you) write the lines that end with those rhymes, in the same order in which they were given. It was known as Crambo in English and was quite popular in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Will you help me bring back this hip historical habit?

Mitigate
Deviate
Abbreviate
Reflection
Direction
Introspection
 
Above are the words.
Get writing rhyme nerds!
There will be no winner. This is just for fun
and the joy of rhyming a smile for everyone.

  2. Melons can't mitigate.
    Drips rarely deviate.
    Angles won't abbreviate.
    Noses sniff the rose's reflection.
    Diggers dig in one direction.
    Eyes engage introspection.

Rhyming or not, I would like a lot to hear the thoughts my words brought...
