The rhyming couplet thread

[flaneur]

Otherworldy verse, I meticulously plan it,
Someone phone E.T., for my rhymes are clearly of another planet.

 

[Doubt The Rabbit]

Alan's rhymes are lacking substance, even if he rhymes quite well,
perhaps he'd like to write a rhyme 'bout something that is not himself.

Fear not, my friends, I may be tardy, but it's only 'cause my life
has suddenly become sehr active both of pleasure and in strife.

 

[In a lonely place]

Ah, I detect a hint of germanic origin
This thread I find to be encouragin'

 

[Doubt The Rabbit]

There's nothin' German 'bout my ass,
Just snuck a word from German Class.

 

[mintymint]

Things are getting hot
In this polyglot rhyme spot

 

[Doubt The Rabbit]

At two-nineteen in the morning not so much comes to mind
It becomes quite impossible to write a decent rhyme.

 

[In a lonely place]

Polyglot! Wow, now we're getting verbose
Does that mean someone who has eleven toes?

 

[Doubt The Rabbit]

You're acting as if not to know just so it rhymes, it seems,
So I doubt I'd have to say what polyglot really means.

 

[In a lonely place]

You're right, I am just being cute
I'm transparent, i'm in my birthday suit

 

[Doubt The Rabbit]

Transparency won't do for me -
I like a bit of mystery.

Though, honest still, as best he can
These things I value in a man.

He who stirs up sex and trouble;
Cocky, sharp, and face without stubble.

Such a man, though, I should say,
I'd only love 'til cometh the day.

(Though, even so, if I might,
I could not say I've just one "type.")

 

[In a lonely place]

I think it's wise not to be bound
By 'types' and such as I have found
That the woman who lives inside my head
Does not exist, cannot be bred
And so I alter my ideas
I hope it doesn't end in tears.

 

[Doubt The Rabbit]

Coupling words like tears, ideas, I'd be so bold to say,
can be excused in accents of a European sway

For Yanks, except in Boston, York, Jersey, and, of course, bars,
Are quite particular towards the sounding of our R's

 

[flaneur]

What else but Alan exists? Proud solipsist,
My raps stay in your head like demons from a horror movie plot twist,
So that this bonus rhyme will be leavin' you needin' an exorcist.

 

[Doubt The Rabbit]

I hate to burst your bubble but, bonus rhyme as it may be,
A couplet is, by definition, a paired rhyme in poetry.

Bonus rhymes, even those professed to linger in my head,
should come in two lines - after all, this is, in fact, a couplet thread.

 

[Rio321]

How glad am I, a thread of rhyme.
To be without it, should be a crime.

 

[Okiedokes]

One look back and here it starts
it stinks so bad worse than peoples farts

You'd think it would just go away in a breeze
but I guess that's how it starts, a little squeeze.

I have no fricken idea... but I am laughing now!

On a more serious note.......

One moment in time, captured in a frame
I swear that I will never be the same

Waterfalls, the breeze, the beautiful skies
in this picture is where my heart lies.

 

[Okiedokes]

A forest of life, so full and green
I'd love to live here if you know what I mean
I stop and listen to nature's song
Oh crap, some bees...I must move along!
..............

A delicate seed, I sow in the land
Sunlight, some water, and a little helping hand
Some time, patience, and a little love
Soon I will hold you in my glove.

 

[Doubt The Rabbit]

Okiedokes is really enjoying herself, it seems,
no one else has taken this thread so seriously!

It would bring a tear to mintymint's left eye, I bet,
Though why it has to be his left I don't quite know yet.

 

[Badjedidude]

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Wait, no, they're more purple.
I ******* lied to you.

 

[In a lonely place]

Roses are red, violets are blue
Daffs are yellow and daisies are too,

Hold on, this one's green; a result of genetic mutation
How obscene, or is it by creation?
