Rhyming Couplet Examples
She was a little tense The notice made no sense I saw a little hermit crab His coloring was oh so drab It's hard to see the butterfly Because he flies across the sky Hear the honking of the goose I think he's angry at the moose His red sports car is just a dream It needs no gas, it runs on steam The children like the ocean shore We want to leave but they want more I made the cookies one by one I hear the bell, so they are done My cat, she likes to chase a mouse, Especially one that's in the house Lightening, thunder, all around Soon the rain falls on the ground I tire of writing poems and rhyme I think I need vacation time Jack be nimble, Jack be quick Jack jump over the candlestick |
