this one might be a surprise with words to lift and energize it was a challenge I must confide to get the words down to reside this could have been a tale quixotic but it will probably be a story psychotic if you'll just help me, muse I implore I'll write you songs forevermore I tried not the rules to violate so this poem I didn't annihilate tried not to fill it with jargon with my muse, I made a baragin I'm almost done, muse I rejoice to finish this poem I had no choice words were hard to orchestrate oh which ones to accentuate? ok, I'm done, now bring my zither! I'm ready to sing, muse, come hither ------------------------------------------------------------------ That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Bouts-rimes is French for "rhymed ends." A bouts-rimes poem is created by one person's making up a list of rhymed words and giving it to another person (thanks, (I think!) to Lone Wolf for the words used here), who in turn writes the lines that end with those rhymes, in the same order in which they were given. Bouts-rimes are said to have been invented by a seventeenth-century poet named Dulot. They were very popular throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when they were known in English as "crambo." In 1864 Alexandre Dumas, the author of The Three Musketeers invited all the poets of France to fill in the lines for a set of selected rhymes. The next year he published the result: 350 poems by as many poets, all with the exact same rhymes. Why not try this with a friend?? ----------------------------------------------------------< !signature--> That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl [This message has been edited by Sven (edited 10-28-2000).] |
