Friday Fun Day - Crambo aka Bouts Rimés - After the Fire

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?
 
A tree stump burned in the White Fire this week.
 
Fire
Prior
Transpire
Bur
Confer
Saboteur
 
 
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.

  1. we started the Fire
    just Prior
    to what would Transpire
    the Bur
    was planted before we could Confer
    and under the guise a Saboteur

    not my best, but...smiles.

  2. Fanning the fire
    Ignites a prior
    Dream's need to transpire,
    But the bur -
    Doubt's need to confer,
    Sneaky saboteur.

  3. Burning wildly, forest fire.
    Like no other blaze prior.
    Charred remains now transpire.

    Prickly mood now as a bur.
    A secret hidden none confer.
    Wish carnage claimed the saboteur.

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