I think I'll stick with this new game a while. I've got lots of regular photos and rhymes but few abstract photos ans riddles (and I haven't heard any complaints about the switch). 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?
I took this photo while wandering the streets of Valencia. Feel free to use it with your poems.

Run
I love it! I thought these rhymes might work nicely within the lines. :)
DeleteThere is a women, I must tell.
ReplyDeleteWho thinks to be Quaintrelle.
I doff my hat, for she is swell.
La Tomatina, to her, is like a brick.
And to keep so dapper, must be psychic.
'Cause foppish fashion is her trick.
Her Hacienda claims she's worth a ton.
And eloquent as her fulgurous Jargon.
Forget the bulls, with her I'd run.
I just love the ending! A smart man seeks to run with the quaintrelle... she'll probably take him to see the bulls anyhow. :)
DeleteI'm all about expression, as you can tell
ReplyDeleteBut my anatomy keeps me from being quaintrelle
Nonetheless, my desire to inspire and compel continues to swell
My heart, heavy as a stack of brick after brick
My head full of thoughts far from anything psychic
Keep it real, be original and don't steal, that's my only trick
They say a penny for your thoughts, and I've got a ton
Mixin' it up with the slang and jargon
I just open the gate and watch the rhymes start to run
Hehe. I wonder what the male version of a quaintrelle is? I love that you worked that angle into your poem. :)
