    • Also about the techniques of poetry
Review Image by K.W. K.W.
Not sure why but it’s hard to find an affordable book that covers the technical aspects of poetry. While I appreciate those books that wax about tapping into the emotional or working with imagery, I want the solid foundation of the technique too, which this book actually covers in a clear, straightforward way. This book also covers many things in addition to rhyme and uses examples from leading poets throughout history to show the techniques in use. The first 117 pages are a primer on poetry. It’s excellent and 100% not pompous. No nonsense and to the point. ... show more

    • Great Rhyme Book
The title says it all. Just a rhyme book for learning rhymes and probably good for writing lyrics if you are a start up music writer.

    • Why this dictionary? And 1943 Edition Vs Modern Edition
As of this writing, (2016), this dictionary is recommended for songwriters by instructor Pat Pattison over others, including online dictionaries, as it: divides rhymes into Masculine, Feminine,and three-syllable rhymnes, is organized phonetically by vowel sound, and it italicizes archaic words. 1943 Edition Vs Modern Edition breakdown There has been controversy going back years on this board about which edition you should get of this book, the modern one or the 1943 edition. I've bought both of them because of the controversy and I'll lay out the differences 1) the 1943 separates out eat rhyme by groups so that under A (as in bay) you have: vowel: eye, cou-tru-ri-er etc... b: bay, etc... br: bray, etc.. ... the new edition lays them out altogether listed like so affray agley airway .... The old edition makes it easier to separate identities - words that are not true rhymes because the last syllable in both begins with the same consonant. Each page actually warns to only pick one from each group. How big of a matter this is is a personal choice, but I like the old way. Also the new edition prints one word per line as above (in four columns) whereas the old edition as above lists several words per line in two columns. So I believe the older edition has fewer words per page despite the smaller size of my hardback editions. Also, the older edition breaks words by syllables with accents. Very important. 2) The old edition obviously doesn't have newer words in it. 3) The old edition has a course in verification in the back that 90 pages long and is very good. 4) As from that, the text of the old and new editions cover roughly the same material, re-written in the new edition. So I think the old edition is definitely preferable to me though the new one is very useful if you don't want to spend the money to the older one. ... show more

    • More of a high level classroom education book
I was expecting a dictionary or Thesaurus type of book of word comparisons I could use to help write music. What you get in this book is a highly educated description of how to create rhyme words. Not what I was looking for but probably perfect for the pure at heart who know, or want to know poetry.
