Description:

This swap is based on a "game" that Jane Austen's family played. Each family member was asked to write a poem that "Rhymed with Rose." Jane, her sister Cassandra, her mother Mrs. Austen, and Mrs. Elizabeth Austen each wrote a poem in which all the lines rhymed with rose. You can read all four poems here.

Here is an excerpt of Cassandra Austen's poem:
Love, they say is like a Rose;
I'm sure tis like the wind that blows,
For not a human creature knows
How it comes or where it goes.
It is the cause of many woes,
It swells the eyes & reds the nose,
And very often changes those
Who once were friends to bitter foes.

For this swap, write a poem and send it to 3 partners, typed or handwritten in an envelope. Your poem should be at least 12 lines long. The subject is up to you, but make sure every line rhymes with "rose."

This swap will be international and newbies with well-filled out profiles are allowed. No ratings under 4.9 and no recent 1's and 3's.

Let Jane inspire you! Have fun!
