How about a built in rhyming dictionary for poetry?

[Harley Watkins III]

Microsoft Word and Poetry

Might you consider this simple request?
For the poets it will be for the best!
To help facilitate our poetic passion
And to do so in style and with fashion
Why not include a rhyming dictionary
As finding words that rhyme can be arbitrary

And set up hints on rhyming schemes
So we can pump out a poem that gleams
Would it be too much to ask?
Your programmers to work on that task
And as to the Spelling and Grammar
Must the spell check come down like a hammer?

For with meter and rhyme
Contractions are needed all the time
I am tired of being told I am using passive voice
When that is exactly what is my choice
So a kinder gentler Microsoft Word
Tailored for a Poet would be preferred

The reason they don't is because if someone tried to find a word that rhymed
with purple your system would exploded. Ditto for silver and orange.

Hi Harley,

Your post is a nice diversion from the usual one here

While Microsoft does not offer a rhyming dictionary there
are some out there that work with Word including this one.
