In honor of National Poetry Writing Month, I'm bringing back a Friday tradition. 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?

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.
Pride of Madeira
ReplyDeleteRobert came, but not to cower,
his love for Anne was all the buzz.
More beautiful than Echium flower,
their romance - tragic, always was.
She died quite sudden, lost her power.
Madeira mourns and always does.
Intriguing poem! I look forward to seeing how you flush it out on your blog. :)
DeleteHi Rachel, I tried one for a change too :-)
ReplyDeleteBees Power
Do I have to cower
when the bees buzz?
I just picked a flower
how happy I was!
But the bees power
never ever does.
Thanks for joining in! I love this. Sorry for the delayed response. :)
