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?
Kiss
Remiss
Reminisce
Near
Appear
Disappear
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.
I remember his kiss,
ReplyDeleteIt makes me remiss,
But I won't reminisce -
Love always dangles near,
Yet only appears
When our doubt disappears.
just one Kiss
ReplyDeletewe' be Remiss
not to Reminisce
the way our lips fit, Near
the heart, you Appear
nightly, and in the morn Disappear
I know I picked the words, but why does it have to disappear in the morn? :P
DeleteBeautiful rhyme. :)
I woke upon an awkward kiss,
ReplyDeleteto not relate I'd be remiss,
a snog I will not reminisce.
I watched my cherished saunter near,
then a humpback camel did appear,
kissing me caused dream to disappear.
This poem made me giggle. Is it based on a real life experience? :P
DeleteNot unless I dreamt it and forgot about it. You know how elusive dreams can be. It was just one of those things I wrote that almost wrote itself. You know how that happens sometimes.
