So "of men" is fine but "children" isn't? Both being 2 syllables and all that jazz?

(I helped save b3ta! Peej, Tue 30 Sep 2014, 15:42, 2 replies, latest was 10 years ago)
to be fair, children is 3 syllables

They rhyme better than when KT Tunstall rhymes calm with palm and say palm all funny

(I helped save b3ta! Peej, Tue 30 Sep 2014, 15:45, Reply)
Calm and palm are both pronounced ca:m or pa:m in standard English.
Can't speak for yokels or shit singers, mind.

Phonetically identical.
(I helped save b3ta! Kroney, Tue 30 Sep 2014, 15:47, Reply)
how does clam not rhyme with palm?

(I helped save b3ta! Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 30 Sep 2014, 15:47, Reply)
Its not that they don't rhyme, its that she makes them sound like they shouldn't by saying them funny

Your metre's fine, your rhyming isn't.
STOP CONFUSING METRE WITH RHYME

(I helped save b3ta! Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 30 Sep 2014, 15:53, Reply)
The difference is that not knowing the difference makes you a cunt and knowing the difference makes you not a cunt.

(I helped save b3ta! Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 30 Sep 2014, 16:02, Reply)
meter is pretty much the rhythm, it describes the syllable count
You know, like 'iambic pentameter'.

Perhaps if you had gone to gay college for gay poets
you wouldn't sound like such a cunt when you try to write a poem.

Surely there is some real skill in making them rhyme when they shouldn't officially. I applaud this linguistic progress.

"the glen" and "Children" are perfectly acceptable in my awesome rhyme and if you don't like it then I dare you to do better
But be warned! We're rhyming for pinks!
