OK.. so I was challenged to write a poem with a rhyme with the word silver... (which is impossible).. however I have come up with this...

The Silver Rhyme

I have been set a thorny puzzle
Which has my mind in quite a muddle
I thought along, I thought out loud
But nothing came to ease my frown
So I called upon the great Lord Chilver
To beg him for a rhyme with Silver
Alas he cried, my child you’re beat
There is no word (unless you cheat)
Perchance you could of course try Savor
But only if you’re feeling brave eh!
My advice to you dear, just give in
Take this defeat upon the chin
For though this rhyme has got away
Tomorrow is another day
Wake up my dear you won't feel blue
Forget the rhyme, and start anew!



By the way... Lord Chilver does exist.. this is him http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/mp.php?mpn=Lo...r&mpc=Lords

You are so cool!

I couldn't even begin to write anything that someone else asked me to, let alone with a certain word to rhyme with.

That's pretty cool!

I remember your E-Coli one, that one amazed me too.

Themis...I love everything you write. I hope I'm one of the first to get a signed copy of your extraordinary poetry. Chop, chop...have you found a publisher yet???

Awww thanks you two... I'm really humbled by that.. and yes of course you can Inner Space... I am looking into various avenues for publishing at the moment, so if I pluck up the courage to do it you will be the first...

Ironic and clever...this absolutely put a smile on my face

Its very good to do challenges like this, exercises and stretches the creative imagination, we have a blogging club where we do the same only not with poetry.

I like what you made of this, Themis!

Very nice work dear - great mind! Great rhyme... and yea, only if you cheat will you see that SilVer is actually a Rev_Sil of the word by half... lol... so it is quite difficult to 'rhyme' with cuz it's cross-eyed. Especially when you have to see the unseen part which is the 'er' in reverse after the V too. you're gonna go far dear. I sat here, tried and had to cheat like that!
