Looking For a Perfect Rhyme

Feeling sublime looking for a perfect rhyme
rejecting halftime, bedtime, downtime
considering the pleasant tinkle of a chime
making faces at the sound of slime and grime
settling for a garden of lime and thyme.

Your rhyming may not be perfect, but it is very good and the theme flows throughout the work. Emile.
