I got a rock in my sock around the clock
this sun is hot like a gun, no more fun, start to run
need to find some rain to keep sane, how mundane
if the ocean gets hotter, it could slaughter the otter
a cheesy breeze puts the bee’s knees at ease
this morass is nothing more than a mass of grass
jump over the bump into the dump
then dive a high five to show how you thrive
get your nose into the rose for just the right dose
and please use a glass and show more class, you ass
NaPoWriMo 2024 Day 13: Play with rhyme! Start by creating a “word bank” of ten simple words. They should only have one or two syllables apiece. Five should correspond to each of the five senses (i.e., one word that is a thing you can see, one word that is a type of sound, one word that is a thing you can taste, etc). Three more should be concrete nouns of whatever character you choose (i.e., “bridge,” “sun,” “airplane,” “cat”), and the last two should be verbs. Now, come up with rhymes for each of your ten words. (If you’re having trouble coming up with rhymes, the wonderful Rhymezone is at your service). Use your expanded word-bank, with rhymes, as the seeds for your poem. Your effort doesn’t actually have to rhyme in the sense of having each line end with a rhymed word, but try to use as much soundplay in your poem as possible.
