Using rhymes for time
Time has a modest set of perfect rhymes: rhyme, climb, crime, prime and chime are the useful ones, and climb is the one that most often carries meaning with it. Near rhymes are plentiful because the “m” can become an “n”: line, mine, fine and design all sit comfortably at the end of a line about time.
Example lines
Two original couplets: one with a perfect rhyme, one with a near rhyme.
We took the stairs because the lift was broken, one more climb,
and laughed the whole way up as if we had all the time.
I traced your name along the edge of every line,
as if I could hold on to it and keep it out of time.
