A Collection of Rhyming Things

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at CMU chapter.

Sometimes you just gotta tap into your inner Dr. Seuss and rhyme some stuff.

 

Honeyed beam of summer light

Pastel tissue paper kite

 

Rock stuck in a sewer grate

Calloused hands on second date

 

Your polished black-brown saddle

A gentle wave of cattle

 

Wires spout from a socket

Fist clenched inside my pocket

 

Teeth gritted on a fingernail

Hateful whisper-yell of hail

 

Rusty rigid roller skate

Feathers of his fishing bait

 

Popcorn kernels and a tooth

Spilled soda in a diner booth

 

Thin fingers underneath a root

Faded name inside a boot

 

Gleaming golden pyramid

Gap-toothed gawking of a kid

 

Quiet hiss of punctured ball

Sterile carpet in the hall

 

Algae float under the dock 

Googly eyes glued on a sock

 

Molasses drops fall on snow

Fraying edge of violet bow

 

Steady click of ancient fan

Foggy outline of a man

 

Distant rocks that once held life

Shaky drops on kitchen knife

 

Bowl of lemons and of limes
