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?

She breaks my heart, a wrathful swirl,
ReplyDeletewithout her near my minds a twirl.
Suddenly my mood starts a change,
before to long I'm feeling strange.
When she was near the day was bright,
but now keeps her distance, as a kite.
I have a few ex's like that. :-/
