I just found this old poem I wrote in high school.

Oh really? Was it any good or just classic rhymester stuff?

Root Explanation

Rhymester is formed from "rhyme" (from Old French *rime*, meaning a correspondence of sound) and "-ster" (a suffix used to denote a person associated with a particular activity). The word "rhymester" refers to a person who creates or composes rhymes.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who creates sound correspondences ('rhyme') and the '-ster' suffix indicating a person involved in that activity. A rhymester is someone who makes rhymes.
