Having been working on a conlang that was originally intended to have semantically meaningful rhyme structure, I am baffled with the absolutely magnificent rhyme structure of English.

Look what English helped me to make:


Does she have a soul that flows?

Does she have a soul that grows?

...

Yes, I have a soul that flows.

Yes, I have a soul that grows,

and knows.

a soul that,

as it mows,

sows, and stowes,

the growths, and knowths, of tomorrow.

written the day after I read the Tao Teh Ching


Getting a conlang that can help people do that, is gonna be a toughie!
