Come Play With Me...


My Australian friends may recognize this poster,
but aiside from the enthusiatic invitation,
it has little to do with today's post .
.
.
.
The word today is INSPIRE.
.
.
.
How many words can you think
of that rhyme with INSPIRE?
.
.
.
desire, attire, fire, plyer,
conspire, tire, liar, buyer
.
.
.
I could go on,
but perhaps you will have more fun
if you think
about this yourself.
.
.
.
There are ALOT of words
that rhyme with INSPIRE.
.
.
.
And if you wanted to be really smart
and include three syllable words
you could go to http://www.rhyme.com/
and there they would be.
.
.
.
And why am I telling you this?
.
.
.
Well, I could make up a POEM
with all these rhyming words.
I could say
.
.
.

My heart's desire
did not inspire
the friar
who changed my tire
when my car caught fire.
.
.
.
And....well.....YOU could make up a poem too.
.
.
.
Because there are SO MANY words
that rhyme with INSPIRE
that maybe if you started
you would be a poet just like that.
.
.
.
I am tired
of being wired
so instead
I'm taking my head
to bed.
.
.
.How about penning a poem of your own,
here or own your own blog?
We've done this before
and it's pretty fun.
.
.
.
The only 'guideline'
is to make it rhyme
some how some way.
.
.
.
Beyond that,
whether you're an artist or a writer
or a photographer or wanderer
or a seeker or a psychologist (hee hee CS),
let your rhyming child self have some fun.
.
.
.
Be INSPIRED.
.
.
Wanna play?

  1. The funny thing for me is that I seem to have left comments on several blogs recently explaining that I can't do creation-on-demand things. If asked, I can't do punchlines for photos, supply questions for the ask-me-anything posts or participate in any of the many themed day posts that are around. There's something about expectations that paralyzes me.

    So, don't let my non-participation make you think I love you any less! ♥

  2. cs, don't worry about it one bit! i'll do it for you:

    i won't be a liar
    i can't be a trier
    but if i could
    i would
    but maybe not
    if i thought
    my fire
    was just desire.

    oh dear god..... ♥

  3. I'll play~
    Does it have to be inspire?

    ReplyDelete
  4. pattee,

    if inspire is not your desire
    choose what you want to fly a bit higher
    :)

    ReplyDelete
  5. higher and higher
    I hear him cry-er
    lower and lower
    she doth go-er
    they both did try-er
    were a wee bit shy-er
    and lost all desire!

  7. Okay I'm back. I just jotted something quick while starting dinner. I do like a challenge though ;)


    For those who
    INSPIRE
    And never tire
    of letting me embrace
    my heart's desire
    Encouraging me
    higher
    and
    HIGHER
    Through stormy seas
    and muck and mire~
    Oh how on earth
    do I let you know
    that it's
    YOU
    I admire?

    xoxoxoxo
    Lo

  8. KJ My Friend

    Friends never sway
    While others may
    We count our blessings high
    Even though some may lie.
    They didnt know what they had
    Which is really too bad
    Because in you I found
    A friendship so profound
    That they lose with no win
    Because I will love you
    With all my means
    Even when it seems
    I am silent and of quiet means
    I am here giving thanks
    Because with you as my friend
    I know you will be there till the End

    Love Sonia

  9. Oh ya woot woot me...I am inspired and very tired, I need some sleep and dont make any peeps. I will be back, in the morning when I am fresh, to keep the game going with any knowing of what the hell I am doing, just rhyming and hooting.

  10. soul, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HYSTERICAL!

    if you aspire
    to give in to desire
    you might need a plyer
    to put out the fire.

    gee you could write about fizzled passionate moments and sell thousands of books. i love this playful side of you, joss! very very awesome!

    ms. lolo, if there is a contest, you have won already! bravo yippee! how did you do this?!

    awwwh, sonia, what a sweet sweet poem. i gratefully accept the permanent role as your loyal friend. thank you thank you. ♥

  11. I think...
    sometimes my attitude stinks.
    But...
    when I inspire,
    it lights a fire,
    of which I never tire.
    So I think...
    I should inspire
    instead of sink.

    ReplyDelete
  12. OMG marie! a terrific poem with a great message. i am VERY impressed!
    no sinking for you, marie. you are a survivor!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  13. oh kj, you are a poet and so much fun.
    i however am not fun at all right now and way too tired to do more than read and make unfun unryhming comments, while drinking a glass of yummy red wine and chasing owen.
    can i be excused this time?
    :) :) :) ♥

  14. lori,

    of course you're tired
    instead of inspired
    i hope you retire
    forget the hair dryer
    stay off the high wire
    not even desire
    should confuse or conspire
    instead please acquire
    a peaceful attire
    from a fashion supplier.
    and just so you know
    you i admire.

    wake up! wake up!

    no, don't listen! relax & enjoy!
    :) :) :) ♥

    Well, maybe a silly.
    No guarantee of a dilly.
    it's nearing the hour,
    the brain's out of power,
    but see there, I tried.
    I did, really!

    Grinnin,laffin,yeah snortin,,,,

  16. (Ps) kj When i was in hospital having a mastectomy

  17. I do not like po-e-try
    I end up with the urge to pee
    I have no words that entertain
    So from fine verse I shall refrain

    I liked your little kangaroo
    and jump I shall 'cos jump I do
    However if you must persist
    a little poem I can't resist

    If you must write please make it fun
    Cos bad poems really hurt my bum
    And there are those within this sphere
    Whose po-e-try offends my ear

    This may be one of those, I think
    I know my rhyme perhaps does stink
    But at least it is some fun
    And frankly doesn't hurt my bum!

    I like silly . . (oops break in pentameter and rhyme . .so sue me)

    Please now do not get me started
    It's night and time I really parted
    But if I giggle . .ooops I farted
    Off to bed, I am being carted!

  18. And Secret Agent Woman . .I so, so, understand. I used to be a 'creative' but just can't do it on demand.

    ReplyDelete
  19. And you're all sucky poets but you're fun!

    ReplyDelete
  20. I really am being carted off to bed now. Just as well before I offend anyone. If I did sorreeeeeeeeeeee!

  21. karenjasper.blogspot.com; You saved my day again.

    ReplyDelete
  22. lo,

    just so you know
    i could never tire
    because you inspire.
    my life is not dire
    or filled with fire
    ok, i walk a high wire
    but just to acquire
    a friend i admire
    who will never expire
    so may i inquire
    and wish you a briar
    patch of roses
    so before i close this
    thank you for being
    a friend i desire.

  23. KJ, It is so chocking me up. I feel lost without her, knowing she is in pain is the worst and then her being ill and hoping she will be able to stay with her family. Thank you for writing to me about the lightened candle and hoping I have done it right? My little daughter and I have prayed for her near this candle. God bless you and Renee!

  24. he did acqui-re
    a musical ly-re
    she thought she would die-er
    if he didn't buy-er
    one.

  25. May I please inquire
    how I may aspire
    to any sort of poetry?

    My brow will perspire
    and my brain misfire
    should I attempt frivolity!

    Perhaps I require
    a serious desire
    to rhyme to carefully.

    I'm left to admire
    rather than aspire
    to such creativity.

    Ok, kj, can we get out the crayons next? ;>)

    P.S. Nollyposh - GREAT IDEA! It's done.

    ReplyDelete
  26. OK, I agree with Baino, we are pretty suckey, but not you kj!
    This is HARD stuff to do - to do well. You just make it look so easy. Talent shows.

    This was hilarious.

    xoxo

  31. crows always break rules... i have added a 'd' to the rhyme:



    uncle S didn't want to get retired
    he knew some new tricks had be conspired
    and for this purpose, some monkeys should be hired
    as these thoughtless though creatures never get tired

    monkeys devised some tricks that he admired
    but as you might have guessed, some of them misfired
    and strangely enough even one of them backfired


    :D
