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?
Global
Pole
Noble
Troll
City
Sea
Pretty
Free
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.
the epidemic is Global
ReplyDeleteeven the Pole
dancers are on strike, Noble
and starting to resemble a Troll
whats wrong with this City
perhaps the Sea
should rise & wash her Pretty
thats my advice, and it's Free
Sorry I'm late posting this comment... I LOVED this! I'm so glad you've joined in Crambo so I can hear you rhyme more. :)
DeleteI'd like to travel global,
ReplyDeletesee the friged Southern Pole.
Or somewhere less than noble,
see a bridge owned by a troll.
Just keep me from the city,
Or A metropolis by the Sea.
A road less travelled's pretty,
and the grandeurs always free.
I'm sorry I'm so late posting this comment. I loved your use of the road less travelled! It really brings the imagery together. :)
DeleteDid you like the word I made up? "Travelled's"
DeleteYep, although you could just write it out. It would still have a nice rhythm. :-)
