It's Rhyme Time!
 
Just thought of this! Let's all play the poetry game, and the rules are pretty simple:

  • User A will write one sentence/stanza in their post. It can literally be about anything and everything, so make sure to be creative! If y'all wanna follow through with a storyline, be my guest as well! But let's see how crazy we can get :p
  • User B will write another sentence/stanza, but it has to be so that the end rhymes with User A's post
  • If the word is hard to rhyme, you're free to use the closest rhyme possible that you can think of (month > millionth > seventh > heaven for example)
  • Once we reach 4 stanzas with the same rhyme, the next user to post can start over with a completely new syllable to rhyme. They can also chose to keep the original rhyme, but the next 3 users should follow through before being able to change the rhyme again

Here's hoping I explained that right, here's an example!

Alrighty, I hope this doesn't get buried! Let's start it all off with:

Tis but a wonderful day!

Starlight January 12th, 2021 10:53 AM

As I walk along the sun-kissed bay

Roni January 12th, 2021 11:06 AM

With such a wonderful view I might say

Starlight January 12th, 2021 11:09 AM

I will miss it so, when I have to go away

Duck January 12th, 2021 2:49 PM

Will the mountains be as pretty?

So have an open syllable? Relying on orthography to mean sound in English is usually not the best idea. For example, "leave" ends with a consonant sound (is closed), while "through" ends with a vowel sound (is open)

RadEmpoleon January 12th, 2021 3:03 PM

Just as pretty as my dear kitty!

Starlight January 12th, 2021 3:28 PM

She's so sweet, and so Itty bitty

Roni January 12th, 2021 6:13 PM

How I long to be clever and witty...

yeah true...might have to remove that rule or something. was just worried someone might use some hard-to-rhyme word like month or orange. will need to revise.

Duck January 12th, 2021 6:17 PM

For though beauty fades, for ever shall wits stay

Roni January 12th, 2021 6:20 PM

Mine versus others, the difference is night and day

Starlight January 12th, 2021 9:26 PM

I claim from the oven, my warm souffle

Roni January 12th, 2021 10:58 PM

as I try to keep my demons at bay

Duck January 13th, 2021 4:31 AM

I dig in with gusto

Roni January 13th, 2021 10:08 AM

trying to distinguish between friend and foe

Starlight January 13th, 2021 1:54 PM

Now, I fear, I must go

RadEmpoleon January 13th, 2021 4:49 PM

Will you come with me, yes or no?

Starlight January 13th, 2021 6:19 PM

This coming week may bring despair

Roni January 13th, 2021 6:20 PM

I constantly ask why life is unfair :(

Starlight January 13th, 2021 8:02 PM

As I run my fingers through my hair

Roni January 13th, 2021 8:37 PM

while running out of pizza to share

Duck January 14th, 2021 7:18 AM

For I had eaten it all

Roni January 14th, 2021 2:46 PM

And I feel like I'm about to fall

Starlight January 14th, 2021 3:59 PM

My hand, searching, reaches for the wall

Roni January 14th, 2021 4:44 PM

While I suffer within the confines of a toilet stall

Starlight January 14th, 2021 4:48 PM

One day life can feel so yay

Roni January 14th, 2021 4:51 PM

Then another day, feel quite gray

Starlight January 14th, 2021 4:54 PM

I only want to feel happy and gay

Roni January 14th, 2021 4:58 PM

These sentiments I wish not to betray

RadEmpoleon January 15th, 2021 5:22 AM

After a long day, I go to sleep

Duck January 15th, 2021 6:49 AM

To fall into a slumber deep

Roni January 15th, 2021 7:21 AM

and to avoid a midnight's weep

Duck January 17th, 2021 5:27 AM

So in the morn I can my floors sweep

Roni January 17th, 2021 5:49 AM

alas, i must not complain

Starlight January 17th, 2021 8:06 AM

Although it stings, this self brought pain

Duck January 17th, 2021 11:45 AM

Shall hopefully not remain

Roni January 17th, 2021 6:47 PM

and fill me with unneeded disdain...

Starlight January 17th, 2021 7:02 PM

I shall sit and smile beneath the starlit sky

Teppanyaki January 17th, 2021 7:04 PM

Looking at the ground that's dry.

Roni January 17th, 2021 7:44 PM

don't ever wanna get up, but i'll try

RadEmpoleon January 18th, 2021 9:16 AM

Hopefully I don't fall and die.

Roni January 18th, 2021 5:24 PM

Now, there's nothing to do but wait...

Starlight January 18th, 2021 6:26 PM

Sitting alone, on the farmer's gate

Roni January 18th, 2021 6:28 PM

found a scale, gonna measure my weight

Duck January 19th, 2021 4:09 AM

And realize I'm akin to a train of freight

Roni January 19th, 2021 4:39 AM

found a stream, seems it's time for a swim

RadEmpoleon January 19th, 2021 7:06 AM

I have some questions, let me ask him

Roni January 19th, 2021 8:17 AM

during the interview, make sure not to skim!

Duck January 20th, 2021 4:37 AM

Else your future might be looking grim

Roni January 20th, 2021 5:29 AM

my game's wonky right now, might need a new patch

RadEmpoleon January 20th, 2021 6:49 AM

I'm making some muffins, but I might need to make another batch

Roni January 20th, 2021 7:01 AM

mmm those muffins are quite the catch

Starlight January 20th, 2021 9:58 AM

I'm gonna throw them all straight down my hatch!

Roni January 20th, 2021 10:12 AM

and i'm throwing them down with haste!

Starlight January 20th, 2021 11:26 AM

Oh my, so yummy they taste!

Duck January 20th, 2021 3:49 PM

Now to find my toothpaste

Roni January 20th, 2021 6:46 PM

and use it all up so it won't be a waste

Duck January 21st, 2021 4:57 AM

What a lovely day, look at the sun

RadEmpoleon January 21st, 2021 4:59 AM

It's a great day to have some fun

Roni January 21st, 2021 5:24 AM

and the day has only just begun!

Starlight January 22nd, 2021 11:38 AM

I think I'll go for a gentle run!

Roni January 22nd, 2021 6:11 PM

could go for a walk in the rain

Starlight January 23rd, 2021 5:38 PM

But I'm in so much pain

Roni January 23rd, 2021 10:06 PM

and there would be nothing to gain

Starlight January 24th, 2021 12:23 PM

So inside I shall remain... again

Roni January 24th, 2021 6:42 PM

today i'm feeling so blessed

RadEmpoleon January 25th, 2021 4:45 AM

Heading out to the west

Roni January 25th, 2021 4:49 AM

with these image files i just compressed

bg January 25th, 2021 12:41 PM

but the next day it might decay

Roni January 25th, 2021 7:06 PM

might have to change up the rules a bit okay

Duck January 26th, 2021 5:50 AM

Are there still monsters to slay?

Roni January 26th, 2021 7:54 AM

monsters? there's no way...

ugh a poet <3

it's so amazing it's hard to explain

Starlight January 26th, 2021 10:33 AM

I fear they will drown in the coming rain

bg January 26th, 2021 10:45 AM

And all their effort will be in vain

Roni January 26th, 2021 7:03 PM

The above statement is mostly correct

Duck January 27th, 2021 5:41 AM

Somebody help me, I lost my pet insect

Roni January 27th, 2021 6:43 AM

every nook and cranny we'll have to inspect.

RadEmpoleon January 27th, 2021 7:19 AM

Some people just have no respect

Roni January 27th, 2021 8:11 AM

i searched my dog's hair, and found a louse D:

Starlight January 27th, 2021 12:51 PM

I'd rather not have them in my house

Duck January 27th, 2021 4:38 PM

Would you rather have a mouse?

Roni January 27th, 2021 6:54 PM

i would rather stay on my computer and browse

Starlight January 30th, 2021 7:22 AM

Today, I shall get some rest

Roni January 30th, 2021 9:57 AM

The sleep I get will be the best

Starlight January 30th, 2021 10:21 AM

I'm so lazy, I might sleep dressed

Roni January 31st, 2021 9:40 AM

my ability to do so leaves others impressed

Duck January 31st, 2021 10:54 AM

And so they swoon

Roni January 31st, 2021 8:28 PM

from morning til noon

Starlight February 1st, 2021 5:00 PM

ever since their honeymoon

Roni February 1st, 2021 6:16 PM

where the man was quite the buffoon

Starlight February 1st, 2021 6:24 PM

This time of year is nice

Roni February 1st, 2021 6:47 PM

and my chocolate milk could use some ice

Starlight February 2nd, 2021 9:18 AM

but all I have is creamed rice

Roni February 2nd, 2021 9:18 AM

i hope this will be enough to entice

Starlight February 2nd, 2021 9:26 AM

The birds are singing so proud

Roni February 2nd, 2021 9:33 AM

so proud and so loud

Starlight February 2nd, 2021 9:33 AM

indeed, they are a noisy crowd

Roni February 2nd, 2021 9:38 AM

but after the whole shebang, the bowed

Starlight February 2nd, 2021 12:50 PM

Snow is falling upon my head
