tailieunhanh - The Complete Rhyming Dictionary Revised

The desire to write poetry, or at least acceptable verse, is almost uni- versal. The achievement of this desire may be gained by anyone, without excessive effort. Almost everyone, at some stage of his or her life, has yielded to the seductive siren, and has done his or her best to write poetry. An adequate craftbook on versification is a necessity, when the urge becomes unconquerable. | THE COMPUTE RHYM1HG DICTIONARY INCLUDING THE POET S CRAFT BOOK CLEMENTWOOD Published by Dell Publishing a division of .
