Although September is the observance of many random and capricious days, this one focuses on specific words. Refractory rhymes are words that don't rhyme with any other word. Poets' reason is that avoiding these words helps keep their poetry concise. However, refractory words only interrupt poems where rhyme and reason are relevant.

These fey poets take on these threatening words. Toss out the rhymes.. Say farewell to meter. meter says goodbye. Be both whimsical and playful. ewis Carrol was never stopped by the Jabberwocky. Dilly dally in a world of mishmash and find a verse that captures the day's spirit. Deliver a letter filled with words straight up the chimney.. Tilt the accent one way and lilt it another until the word fits in fluttery ways..

There must be no reason nor rhyme for that matter. Not all poems do. Not all poems do. You could go deeper than Alexander Atkins did in 2014 and search a little bit harder for the perfect rhyme, and it would be a little bit harder for the perfect rhyme. Check out his blog, which stretches the edges of the language to fill the void left by refractory rhymes.
