and sends me photos of the moon each night.

and nobody's ready to end the night.

How to choose the rhyme

  • Say the line out loud before you choose: the rhyme has to land on the beat where the melody stresses it.
  • Rhymes of 1 syllable (right, might, and quite) close a line hard; those of 3 syllables (impolite and reunite) stretch it and soften it. Match them to what the line is saying.
  • If every perfect rhyme for “night” sounds forced, move “night” inside the line and end it on another word.
