  1. This should be locked and everyone should pay attention to me
     
  2. At least you're honest.

    Hilary? Is that you?
     
  3. It's a joke.
     
  4. Roses are red
    Violets are blue
    I'm bad at poems

  6. who are you referring to as yellow
     
  7. Best thing to come out of this thread :lol:
     
  8. Was a direct reference to the dangers/warnings of a stoplight. Reminded me of roulette.
     
  9. He's right actually.
     

  10. He was wrong for correcting him, not how he corrected him:)
     
  11. Which means that actually, you were wrong saying that I was wrong, as I was right.

    However, it was wrong of me to point it out without even reading the whole OP.
     
  12. Smh. Both are right. I am American and its color. If I left the country, no doubt it would be colour. This spam is how threads get derailed and locked.
     
  13. You can only be wrong over color / colour in an exam where you are learning whichever variant of the english language.

    Outside of school i presume it would be courteous to use the spelling recognised by the audience you are addressing. These forums are international so OP is right to use the spelling pertaining to where they are from.

    The poem is good but i have to admit that having some lines rhyme and others not absolutely kills me. One or the other please!
     
  14. lmao. The way we say words down here, it rhymes well. Its not my best work, but the moral is good and the rhymes are there. I dont post a rap that doesnt rhyme or which would get negative feedback. Gray/Pain is not grain/pain or something similar, cuz that seems too simple. I chose the long vowel sound.

    and the way I rap it, the mornin/orange rhyme is top notch. Great stuff.
     
  15. We should just ask saltyfeet how to spell color/colour... He would know for sure.
     
  16. Grey/pain, black/that, morning/orange, sand/afghanistan and japan/red do not rhyme at all :)
     
  17. Actually i'll give you black/that. In certain accents that could just about rhyme!
     
  18. Orange has almost no perfect rhymes. The only word in the 20-volume historical Oxford English Dictionary that rhymes with orange is sporange, a very rare alternative form ofsporangium (a botanical term for a part of a fern or similar plant). Silver is another word for which it is almost impossible to find a perfect rhyme: the only candidate is the rare word chilver, which the 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary defines as 'a ewe-lamb' (i.e. a female lamb). Both orange and silver do have half-rhymes, though: the Oxford Rhyming Dictionary gives lozenge as a half-rhyme fororange, for example, and salver as a half-rhyme for silver.

    What's the difference between a full rhyme and a half-rhyme? A full and stressed rhyme (e.g. hand / stand) or even an unstressed rhyme (such as handing / standing) contain vowels that are common to both words, while a half-rhyme like orange / lozenge or silver / salver has obvious differences between the vowels in certain syllables. The technical term for a half-rhyme is 'pararhyme'.

  19. Nice job static, as always
     
  20. Damn kids are getting thicker by the generation lol. Rio was wrong for saying he spelled colors "WRONG" nothing more nothing less, Period. End of story.

    As far as rhyming goes, not a single word has to rhyme for it to be poetry. It is what is written that makes it poetic, not how.
