@bluehairedmary previosly hosted this swap, THANKS!

This swap is based on a "game" that Jane Austen's family played. Each family member was asked to write a poem that "Rhymed with Rose." Jane, her sister Cassandra, her mother Mrs. Austen, and Mrs. Elizabeth Austen each wrote a poem in which all the lines rhymed with rose.


Here is an excerpt of Cassandra Austen's poem:

Love, they say is like a Rose;

I'm sure tis like the wind that blows,

For not a human creature knows

How it comes or where it goes.

It is the cause of many woes,

It swells the eyes & reds the nose,

And very often changes those

Who once were friends to bitter foes.


For this swap, write a poem and send it to 3 partners, typed or handwritten in an envelope. Your poem should be at least 8 lines long. The subject is up to you, but make sure every line rhymes with "rose."

Watching. I'm not that good with rhymes, even in German, so I'm not sure if I can make it. :)

I am going to message you mine from the first swap, Drachenfrau. Then you will see that anybody can do this! But no pressure! lol

thanks mary, you came up with a great swap! I am thinking we can use A Jane Game more often, like the backwards cards we did too!
