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!

    Wow, this is so good! I like the ABAB pattern in it and the way you worded everything, great piece! :)

      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

Would You Rather...? (#1)

By
These "Would You Rathers" are small, but they're meant to start debates. Debates, not arguments! Anyways, here's the first one: "In a mystery novel, would you rather have a friend by your side helping you while risking his/her own life... ...or would you rather have your friend safe at home counting on you to solve the mystery and come out safely?"

Nexus Mad Libs

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

Q/A With Shaly

This was bound to happen, like so much that the one that is probably next is I don't know... The Poet of Steel or Spitfire or Lady Knight, or just some other crazy. Plus, you guys know the drill. Mark's Addition : So...well...yeah, if anyone else wants to do one, let me know. Apparently, this is the thing to do on my blog right now, though I admit, I have no clue why.
