Many are put off from attempting poetry because they
have
poor rhyming abilities. Some words have many obvious
rhymes and these are much used in love songs and the
like.
Longer, more complicated words are hard to rhyme.
It is an interesting property of the written word that one
can
scramble internal characters and still read the word
well in context,. so long as first and last character are in
place. I believe there is a HB idea on this premise; I will
link.
I propose that this internal scramble could be used to
generate alternate word spellings, some of which might
rhyme with other words that the original spelling does
not
rhyme with. Clever poets and wordsmiths might
generate
such on the spot. For the less clever, I propose a
generator
could receive a word that it is hard to rhyme (the
proverbial one being "orange" though many others might
find use in poems) and then scramble up and present a
number of words which rhyme, or could rhyme.
Poems utilizing scrambled rhyme words might be
difficult
to understand if simply recited by a beret wearing poet.
They could be a lot of fun if read aloud and at the same
time projected behind on a screen, as the rhyme will be
conveyed by the reader but sound like nonsense at the
same time the true word is evident when read on the
screen.
Erm, right

This seems like a rather less efficient alternative to
a rhyming dictionary - many of which are available
online. |

Although I think /raed/ rhymes better with
/ustndnraed/ than /cnmherpoed/. |

I would rather prefer an extended rhyming dictionary
that finds not only rhymes but is searchable by concept
and synonym. |
