So, how about a Monorhyme
Poem?
A Monorhyme is a poem in
which all the lines have the same end rhyme.
It can be however many
lines or syllables you want and about any subject as long as the last word of each line rhymes with all the
other last words of each line. And you don't skip (space) any
lines.
EXAMPLE of
a Monorhyme
Poem
Here’s my
example ~ not that great, but you get the main idea. I’m sure your poems will
be better.
EXAMPLE:
Today I was
surrounded with children’s chatter.
A party for
Taylor, there was such a clatter.
Excited kids
arrived like players up to batter.
A slip n’
slide made the water splatter.
When it
started to rain, it really didn’t matter.
Grass-covered
feet went pitter-patter.
Then out
came the food on a pretty platter.
Pizza and
cake, just making me fatter.
As the party
ended, the kids began to scatter.

Day18-Monorhyme
It's so much fun to make things rhyme
I like to do it all the time
I hope you don't think that's it's a crime
You won't even have to pay a dime!
Your birthday poem was adorable.
Today, in my dreams, I'm going to the beach. You can join me with your sand pail and swimsuit...;o)

I've been thinking all month about words that rhyme.
Sometimes I think I would rather find a tree to climb,
And watch the clouds float by in the summertime.
Or maybe I could go to Disneyland in Anaheim.
Or, I could bask by the pool sipping a cold soda of lemon and lime.
Is dreaming of such things really a crime?
But here I sit, thinking of words all of the time.
