Friday Fun Day - Crambo aka Bouts Rimés - Bunbury

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?

 

Here's a photo I took of a little shelled friend I visit sometimes when my thoughts need to bend.  Use it with your poem if you like or tell us of your 'friend' who causes creative spikes.

 

 

 

Bunbury

Imaginary

Fantasy

Audacity

Traveling

Unraveling

Memory

Trajectory

 

 

Above are the words.

Get writing rhyme nerds!

There will be no winner.  This is just for fun.
If you will, rhyme a smile here for everyone.

A bunbury

is your doppleganger, mini me,

that no one, I mean no one can see,

because he or she is imaginary.

Saving bad dates for multiple centuries:

the fearless, fictional bunburies.

Every week I rhyme and define a new wacky word.
Come on over to indulge your inner nerd.
And, please let me know of any weird words you've heard.
