Poets, Stuck For a Rhyme?

How often have you been stumped for a rhyme, late at night, laboring over your latest sonnet? Aspiring poets, look no further and point your browser to the Semantic Rhyming Dictionary. Created and hosted by computer science students at Carnegie Mellon University, this online rhyming "engine" provides users a list of all rhyming words found for any word entered. Additionally, the engine can spit out consonant-only rhymes, homonyms, "semantic siblings," definitions, and even (!) pictures of the word entered. A simple site with a simple purpose, but comprehensive, easy to use, and loaded with extras (including the option to search for quotations using the word entered). A cool tool (found that on the site, of course) for poets and great fun around the office.
