The Houses of Hogwarts is a four-poem series I have been working on. Credit to Hogwarts and the four houses (and their attributes) goes solely to the author of the Harry Potter series, J.K.Rowling.

Houses of Hogwarts: Slytherin
--------------------------------
Who dreams the most,
And sets his eyes up high?
'Tis Slytherin whose ambitions
Never run dry!
They're clever and quick,
And they care about fame,
Watch out! Never a Slytherin,
Was easy to tame!
If you befriend a Slytherin,
Always be watching your back,
Because when you least expect it,
They'll stab you in the back!

      Well, an ABAB pattern would mean every line rhymes with another line. In this one, it's more like an ABCBDEFEGHIH stance :/
      But thanks :D

      Well, no, because "back" can't rhyme with itself

      I used to have that stance, but a rhyme is a LINE that rhymes with another LINE. Therefore, the endings of both lines have to have the same ending. The final word in both lines can be the same and the prior words be radically different from each other, but if they both have the same sound at the ending, they technically rhyme. Granted, the rhyme is nowhere near as cool, and very unimaginative, but it is technically a rhyme.
      Now, if I were to develop a portfolio, I would not use that as an example of my rhyming, because like I said, very unimaginative lol. I prob could have done better, I was just lazy XD

      That's not how it works, it's not a viewpoint. A word cannot rhyme with itself. Therefore, you are wronggg

      Right, a WORD can't, but a line and another line can rhyme with each other even if they end with the same word. The lettering system tracks each line. Therefore, I'm right. You're technically right, too, because you're talking about the specific words and words alone, but I'm not wrong because the lines do rhyme

My Talent (Poem by Mark Borne)

By
Many places, I've come to know, People of different cultures, too; They all have their thing, Something that they can do, But not me, not yet, My talent has yet to show up. I write and write, plots And twists and poems and Even the rare favorite of The readers I've lured And ensnared in my blog. Yet deep inside, I force myself To write the words that meet The lines of text and thoughts. Then I turn to run, and Find the wind upon my face As I escape my life, But it always catches up, And the worries I face Distract me, making the Outside world obsolete. Even in reading, I find Myself buried in stories That show misfortune in the Lives of fictional characters, Directly only to do as they Were told by the writer. And yet, in stories there is a Beauty unmatched by reality, A world that eventually Results in kindness and Peace and excitement. And being in those worlds, If only for a mere moment, Is my hobby. If only I could Be the character in the ...

Nexus Mad Libs

By
I assume most of you are familiar with what Mad Libs are. Basically, you're given a bunch of blanks to fill in, and you do so without knowing what the story is. Each blank has a part of speech labeling it, and that blank needs something that fits the part of speech. For example: Adjective: ________ --> Adjective: Explosive In the end, we usually have a hilarious end result that makes no sense whatsoever. One example is this (which is a real result I got once with my siblings): "Another way to help you fall asleep faster is drinking a nuclear glass of warm vinegar ." First, let's go over some rules. Obviously, keep it family friendly. This still goes for all blog content. Do not submit two words in a row. Submit one, and when someone else does one, you may do another. Submit through comments. That'll make it easier for me to assemble the final result. The category is Medieval Heroes . Here are the blanks: Adjective: Constipated (Kyra) Per...
