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!

User 1 said:
Hello, how do you do?
User 2 said:
I'm fine, how about you?
User 3 said:
Splendid as well, that statement is true!
User 4 said:
Not a single thing in this world can make me blue!
User 5 said:
How can I be blue, when today I am red?
User 6 said:
Why are you red? Why not orange instead?
User 7 said:
You guys keep talking whilst I make my bed
User 8 said:
Yes you go do that you sleepy head!

and so on!

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

Tis but a wonderful day!

Will the mountains be as pretty?

It's recommended that each stanza ends in the syllables a, e, i, o, or u so that the next user can rhyme easier, but I'm not too strict on this really eheh]

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)

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.
