Just have fun with it and you'll do fine.

The problem of course is that it quickly becomes unfun after years of struggling with a poem.

Whenever I want to rhyme [you spelled it wrong in the title!], I can never think of what word rhymes. I go to www.rhymezone.com and figure out my rhyming words from there. But yeah, I have a lot of fun with rhyming. It makes poetry easier for me to read, with that rhythm. I dunno, I can't work the odd line breaks in the middle of sentences. Lol.

I'll probably be able to some time in the future if I give it another go. ^^

rhyming IS hard for me. But sometimes I do fine. Go through my profile and all my poems and you'll there are only a few that rhyme. Sometimes when people rhyme their poems it seems forced. That happens to me a lot. And I don't like that. The word that rhymes o the previous last word in the line, should feel as if it belongs and there is no other word that can substitute it. you get what i mean?

And when I start writing a poem that rhymes, I get stuck trying to think up of words that rhyme that I am not able to properly convey the message i have through my poem.

I truly look at writer who can write perfect rhyming poetry.
Bravo you people! What's the secret?

NO WAY

i have never had any serious trouble with rhyming. i love to do it, i love to read it, i even love it when i accidentally rhyme when having a normal conversation(what? doesn't that ever happen to anybody else?).

rhyming can make the poems that would otherwise seem pointless feel like it's ingenius. and when a poem that would have been powerful without rhyming has it, it can blow the mind away and leave the reader basking in the beauty of the poet's verses.

maybe i'm just a natural (i sometimes annoy my poetically challenged girl friend by making everything i say to her rhyme), but in my opinion it's really not all that hard.

i dont always try to rhyme my poetry...sometimes it does flow well when it isnt rhymed...more powerful....again thats what i think

true true...

Forced rhyming is easy.

Good rhyming, not so much.

Ya...

I randomly ryme myself but its kinda weird with odd senaryoes and such...

I don't think rhyming is too hard but getting the right rhythm is the challenge.

Yeah, that's what I think.

I have to be in a certain mood to be able to rhyme well. And it has to fit. Do know if I'm making sense; but there are some pieces out there that even though it has some great rhyming, it's better without.

No, rhyming isn't at all hard for me. I usually find lots of rhymes to a word I need. And yes, rhymezone.com helps. A lot. However, the hard part for me is choosing which words to use. I don't want to make the rhyming sound forced, nor do I really want to remake the lines if there's a part of it I didn't like. I remember rewriting a poem because I had to change the rhyme scheme halfway through.

I havd heard of a mythial object called a Rhyming Dictionary, which contains hundreds upon thousands of rhymes. Tis the stuff of ledgend!
