For an example of some masterful rhyming, see the following URL where you'll find the 1936 (final) version of Robert Frost's <u>Design</u> as well as the same poem in a 1912 version, <u>In White</u>:

Talk about challenges and work being play for mortal stakes! Notice how Frost succeeded in using four out of the five words** with -oth rhymes that had possibilities for use in his poem.

And . . . he made it look so effortless!
