Nothing Rhymes With Purple

i really liked this poem!

Circle does rhyme with purple, so kudos! Ironically enough, I have never thought of rhyming anything with purple and its my favorite colour!

Keep up the good work. (:

I loooooooooove this! Not much to say really. I just wanted to say that I loved it. How could you have thought of this? So cool... *clicks like*

Was rhyme purple using fluple,

"Purple" and "fluple" don't rhyme.

"Curple" and "hirple" are English words. They rhyme with "purple".

"Angst" has no English word to rhyme with.

What can i say? I love rhyme especially when it has some humor in it. I would just have to suggest that you keep a consistent meter scheme so that the lines can blend into the rhyme more fluidly. For instance, i noticed most of the lines have either 8 or 7 syllables. Maybe you can tweak the others to have either 7 or 8 too. Anyway, that's more of a personal opinion/suggestion. Overall, i think it was a pretty decent work.

I could not remove the feeling that the rhyming in here was forced into order to achieve an effect that was not quite communicated between this calling to Dr. Seuss, almost channeling his influence, and in an elegiac remembrance admitting he has passed. The problem with talking about rhymes and attempting to use rhyme in a poem, is that you create this cyclical expectation you can't escape from without being very witty and experienced; you are then left, my poor friend, with an unintended gimmick.

For what this poem is, I can see your last few lines attempt to be "cute", however as has been pointed out, this is rather anti-climatic. Is it obvious to the reader why Dr. Seuss ends a poem titled "Nothing Rhymes With Purple"? I would advocate narrowing your focus down, find a clear idea to setup why this should proceed into mentioning Dr. Seuss. For instance, what is the point mentioning other colors? Why does the reader care about this topic, most of all?

Don't be dismayed though, there's a good draft here that can be built on and learned from.

I loved this poem! The rhythmic feel of this poem was amazing. The way everything made sense, but didn't. I loved it!!

haha lovin it!

circle.... purple nurple?

Wow. Amazing and origional; other people that commented before me really said it all, but i love it nevertheless!
It really doesn't seem like this is your first poem written in years, haha.
Keep up the great work!

PS- If you say it the right way, "verbal" also rhymes with it, ahahha.

Cute poem, but isn't it "flurple", not "fluple"?

Also, I think Turtle rhymes with Purple

HA! This was most amusing, I must say! Kept me smiling throughout the whole piece, especially with the consistent mention of Dr. Suess, very nice. Usually, I have little nitpicks to point out in people's poetry, but I can't seem to find one. Except...

Nurple rhymes with purple, haha!

Gah, I hate giving short reviews. But, from what I can see, other people beat me to anything that could possibly be wrong- I'm not poet, so if there was anything hidden, there's no way I could see it, haha!

Thanks for sharing; keep writing!

Haha, I am proud to say trying to rhyme with purple kept me amused for a good couple of minutes!
I love your style, its quite different and I think the great Dr Seuss would be impressed. Now... does anything rhyme with orange?
Damn, now that's going to get me thinking too! *sigh* It's going to be a looong night

It's sweet. But so true. Nothing does rhyme with purple. Like nothing rhymes with orange. Simple but powerful

haaha i liked this poem a lot (:
it sounded like Dr. Seuss!!
what does rhyme with purple ? uhmm glurple ?
that sounds right.
anyways, i enjoyed this. it was cute and genius at the same time.
nice job. keep writing.

best wishes, Nessa

I really loved the poem! It was so carefree, and funny.
I can see this in a children's book, with funny illustrations, like in Dr. Seuss's books.

One thing though,
instead of "fluple" you should use "flurple."
Though, I think that's what you meant, and it was just a typo
Just pointing that out.

I loved the poem though!
