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
.
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
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?
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.
ReplyDeleteSo, don't let my non-participation make you think I love you any less! ♥
cs, don't worry about it one bit! i'll do it for you:
ReplyDeletei 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..... ♥
I'll play~
ReplyDeleteDoes it have to be inspire?
pattee,
ReplyDeleteif inspire is not your desire
choose what you want to fly a bit higher
:)
higher and higher
ReplyDeleteI 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!
I'm laughing so hard I'll have to come back!!
ReplyDeleteI swear. I can't breathe after reading Soul's poem!
hahahahahahahahahahgasphahahahahah!!!!Guffaw-hahahahahahahahaha!
Okay I'm back. I just jotted something quick while starting dinner. I do like a challenge though ;)
ReplyDeleteFor 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
KJ My Friend
ReplyDeleteFriends 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
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.
ReplyDeletesoul, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HYSTERICAL!
ReplyDeleteif 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. ♥
I think...
ReplyDeletesometimes 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.
OMG marie! a terrific poem with a great message. i am VERY impressed!
ReplyDeleteno sinking for you, marie. you are a survivor!!!!
oh kj, you are a poet and so much fun.
ReplyDeletei 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?
:) :) :) ♥
lori,
ReplyDeleteof 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!
:) :) :) ♥
Oh!
ReplyDeleteI dare not,,,,you guys are GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!
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,,,,
Soulbrush, wooooooooo!
(Ps) kj When i was in hospital having a mastectomy
ReplyDeletemy wonderful bloggy friends kept a candle
burning for me on their blogs...
If like me you would like to do the same for our dearest Renee
follow this link... the Angels can see it too
http://www.animationlibrary.com/animation/25473/Realistic_candle/
(Ps) Pass it on *kissez*
ReplyDeleteI do not like po-e-try
ReplyDeleteI 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!
And Secret Agent Woman . .I so, so, understand. I used to be a 'creative' but just can't do it on demand.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're all sucky poets but you're fun!
ReplyDeleteI really am being carted off to bed now. Just as well before I offend anyone. If I did sorreeeeeeeeeeee!
ReplyDeletekarenjasper.blogspot.com; You saved my day again.
ReplyDeletelo,
ReplyDeletejust 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.
♥
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!
ReplyDeleteJulie
he did acqui-re
ReplyDeletea musical ly-re
she thought she would die-er
if he didn't buy-er
one.
May I please inquire
ReplyDeletehow 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.
OK, I agree with Baino, we are pretty suckey, but not you kj!
ReplyDeleteThis is HARD stuff to do - to do well. You just make it look so easy. Talent shows.
This was hilarious.
xoxo
Linda
I love the candle for Renee. I will get back to the bloggies in the evening and add it. It's lovely, and Renee is a light for all of us. **kisskiss** Deb
ReplyDeletebabs, you not only tried
ReplyDeleteyou had to decide
to rhyme
this time
and good for you
you did it just fine!
♥
nolly,. you are so wonderful. the candle is spreading around the blogs and speaking for me, feels like something so loving to do for our renee. nolly, i think you and marion should meet one another. xoxo
hells, you'd better face up to it: you can write rhyming poetry! this is really good! and i know you could have gone on for many more verses. you make me laugh my ass off, hells. ♥
julie, we are in this together, loving and praying together. your candle looks fine. together strong.
xoxo
okay soulbrush, that's it! you have to do a clapbook of sex limmericks! you crack me up! xoxox
ReplyDeletelinda, your poem is awesome! you even used a good structure, which of course i don't know what it's called, but i read your poem with rhythm. you can write poems too, linda! this is definite and compelling evidence!!! xoxo
deb, it's nice to see you here. our collective candles carry hope as well as light. together strong. xoxo
Fun!
ReplyDeleteBut I can't do this in English.....
For me You rhyme with inspire!
♥♥♥
>M<
crows always break rules... i have added a 'd' to the rhyme:
ReplyDeleteuncle 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
