Domino Rhyme is a very clever innovation of Bob Newman which can be found at his site as well as many others on the internet. Much like a slinky, rhymes tumble from stanza to stanza, it is something he calls “remote rhyming”.The Domino Rhyme is: stanzaic, written in any number of quatrains. metered, written in a loose tetrameter. Lines should be same length. rhymed. L2 and L3 of the first stanza rhyme with L1 and L4 of the next stanza and so on down until the last stanza when L2 and L3 rhyme with L1 and L4 of the first stanza. abcd befc eghf gijh … iadj. What would I do without you By Lisa Noe What would I do without you babe I’d be lost in a world that’s large What could I possibly think of I’d be lonely and all afraid My life would be ever so hard I’d miss you, dream of you daily You are my heart and make my life You are the sweetest darling love You left me for a year deary And it had me feeling so sad I missed you my dear every day I wanted to touch and kiss you You made me feel so very bad Because you left me my sweetheart You’ll not know how much love I have You are the whole wide world to me I didn’t like being apart I’m glad we’re together again A year’s to long not to see you I love you to the moon and back. ![]() ![]() ~~Image #6000 Sharing Restricted~~ |
