The book contains a brief introduction to poetical forms and discusses format. It then gives potential rhymes divided into sections of one-syllable, two-syllable, and three-syllable rhymes.

I like having the rhymes handy when I get stuck and can't think of something. Everytime I open the book, I find something that helps me get over my problem.

Many is the time that I wish there was an index to the word I am trying to rhyme. The book is organized by sounds and sometimes it takes some looking to find the sound that I want. I have become better at nagivating the lists of rhymes.

This is a good book to assist the poet. It is also relatively inexpensive.
