Rhyming

The English language is not rich In words that rhyme so could we switch To foreign words or now and then Make up a word with our own pen? I wrote a poem on noisy birds And running short of rhyming words, I coined the rhyming word " twatter" Needing it to rhyme with matter. Clatter or chatter might have fit, But both of them were wrong a bit. Birds don’t clatter, birds don’t chatter, But those noisy birds could twatter. And there are very many times There just is not a word that rhymes. We could use a word like boringe (Boring E)nglish rhymed with orange. So Mr. Webster take a bow. You’ve done a good job up to now. Have some pity for the poet Out of rhymes, wants you to know it. By: Joyce 05/

Joyce, my sweet, I fully agree with you. If flying birds, against a mirrored building can splatter, surely they can noisily twatter. Makes perfect sense to me. You are to be congratulated for such creative action. Besides, whoever read poetry by Webster... You go girl!!!... Jake

I agree with you. Maybe somebody should make a dictionary with only poets' words.
