When I tried writing a rhyming poem (I have postponed further work on
it until my jbobau is adequate. It is, incidentally, in iambic
*tetrameter*.), I found that VhV rhymes were boringly easy, while
VCCV/VCV rhymes were very hard to come by. I eventually made much use
of the delightful -anci gismu, which seemed one of the very very few
decent rhyme sets, and I have since observed Jorge using the same -anci
rhymes in one of his poems he posted to the list.
