I do love to rhyme and my friends usually like my rhyming poems the best. Children also love rhyming poetry in school. I like to show them how to rhyme and discuss rhyming patterns and I like to show then the online rhyming dictionary .... www.rhymezone.com

I wrote this poem one night. It just all came tumbling out of me at high speed.

 

A Stream of poetic consciousness

 

Some people dance and some they sing

Whilst me I like to rhyme a thing

Cat and sat and mat they’re easy

Love, above and dove so cheesy

Far more complicated though

Are Bordeaux and Vincent Van Gogh

Or is that Vincent Van Gogh

(Pause for cough)

It’s really fun to stretch myself

With words like Continental shelf

Plunder one’s vocabulary

For words that rhyme with constabulary

It’s childish but it’s rather fun

Like scoffing down a sticky bun

It never bores. I never tire

It often fills me with desire

Too intellectual for foreplay

You’d rather watch a steamy play

Or re-read Fifty Shades of Grey

See look how far the mind can stray

So back to rhyme I’m using pairs

Or couplets if you must split hairs

William Shakespeare sometimes rhymed

But they didn’t always scan and they weren’t always well timed

LOL I wonder can you rhyme and text

AFAIK but I’m out of my depth

See what I did there, a near rhyme

Emily Dickinson did it all the time

There even exists gendered rhyme

So Masculine the word sublime

Whilst the Feminine was once a fashion

Rarely used with any passion

And is there a rhyme for every word?

Not for purple so I heard

And to try and find orange in the rhyming dictionary

Could cause a cardiopulmonary
