Hi Jayne, I'm sorry you had to google up those words, but they do make a great list for the purposes of poetry. I wasn't really thinking of them in terms of end rhymes necessarily, though; more in the line of how many you could use and still have a great poem.

Bowie provided the list to novelist Ricky Moody in 2011 as his response to a request for a way to understand the lexicon of his latest album at the time, called "The Next Day."

The reason I didn't post the link is that I'm not sure if that is one of my posting privileges yet, posting links and images, that sort of thing.

And yes, I hope it does become another challenge in some form here.

Thanks,
Sue
