Once again, randomly-generated rhyme words.

No prizes for guessing what I’ve been watching.

I thought up a form! Sort of a combination of Gerard Manley Hopkins’ curtal sonnet and a Spenserian sonnet: ABA BCB CAC DD with all lines in iambic pentameter. More of these going forward.

I also changed the way the random rhyme words are generated to prevent identical word endings by vowel and consonant sound (e.g. impassion/compassion), and I increased their minimum syllables to two.
