Quoting the poems of your favorite poet, sometimes you involuntarily think: “And why didn’t I write this?”. But not everyone knows how to compose really talented poems. Do not worry about this and make graphomaniac attempts, it is better to play a poetic game! This literary phenomenon even came up with a special name - burime.

Invention of burime

"The game of poetry" appeared in France in the 17th century. The name was formed from two words: bout and rime, meaning "rhymed ends" (in this case, lines). The inventor was the little-known poet Dulot. The new game became widespread in salons, and later in the widest circles, along with solitaire and dominoes.

How to play Burim

The essence is simple: the participants are given certain rhymes - of course, not "stick - herring" - and the players must come up with a meaningful poem. It can be humorous or philosophical, the main thing is that logic can be traced in it. The game can be complicated: for example, you can set the condition to write in a sonnet or amphibrach, and virtuosos can combine words that are completely different in meaning, seemingly incompatible at all, into a rhyme!

rules

There are some general rules for all burime. Given rhymes cannot be interchanged. If you were offered the words "Ethnomir", "genius", "marshmallow", "various interpretations", then you can use them only in this order. The main thing is that the poem is complete and meaningful! The selection of rhymes should also be approached responsibly: from a pair of words “love” - “carrot” it is hardly possible to compose something travel. However, the great poet Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, a lover of this fun, somehow got the banal rhyme “frost” - “roses”, and he masterfully beat it:

"And now the frosts are cracking
And silver in the fields...
The reader is already waiting for the rhyme of "roses",
Here, take it quickly"

Where to practice

Practice in burime possible on the Internet. Forums and communities of poetry lovers are just the right places for both beginners and true lovers of this game. Another interesting modern version of burime is rap battles. The rivals quite emotionally converge in a rhymed duel, it seems that words are about to be replaced by actions, that a fight cannot be avoided. Sometimes passions run high, and it comes to obscene language, so it’s better not to take children to such competitions.

Similar games

If a burime seems too difficult, then you can get carried away with similar fun: playing "Nonsense". She is especially loved by students, because the essence is to compose humorous rhymes. Here it is important that the poem is as meaningless as possible and therefore funny. One player writes a line on paper, after which he folds the sheet so that the main content is not visible, only the last word. The rest of the players are faced with the task of continuing the poem without knowing its meaning, only seeing the final word. It turns out long funny poetic opuses.

Another literary game is monorhyme. The facilitator suggests a word, and the participants select rhymes for it, writing a poem. The team with the longest masterpiece wins.

- an exciting game with which you can have a nice evening in style in the company of friends and delicious drinks - for or with a teapot. At the party, bursts of laughter will be heard every now and then, since it is not so easy to compose a meaningful poem from the proposed rhymes. Don't give up, try it and have fun!

BURIME

(from the French. bouts rimes - "rhymed ends") - the composition of poems to predetermined rhymes, usually of a comic nature. The burime form originated in France in the first half of the 17th century. The history of the emergence of Burime is due to the French poet Dulot, who stated that he wrote 300 sonnets, but lost the manuscript. After massive public doubts about such a large number of written poems, Dullot admitted that he did not write the poems themselves, but only prepared rhymes. After that, his colleagues in the pen wrote sonnets to blank rhymes, and a new poetic game became fashionable in the 17th and 18th centuries. was quite a popular salon entertainment. It is also known that A. Dumas in the 19th century was the organizer of the competition for the best burime and published a book of the best poems.

Rules of the game. Burime's game is a poetic rhyme. Ideal conditions for the game - from ten people. A leader is appointed, everyone sits down at the table. The facilitator determines and announces to everyone the topic, on which there will be rhyming.

Everyone has pens and sheets of paper of the same size, most often they are A4 type. On command, work begins. Everyone composes and writes the first line from the verse and passes it to the person sitting next to him. He composes and writes down the second line under the first and wraps a piece of paper so that the next participant cannot read the first line.

And he had only one line in front of his eyes. He, in turn, invents and writes his own poetic line, rhyming with the previous one. Now wraps two lines and passes to the next player.

Then, at some stage (when each of the participants wrote an equal number of lines), when the first paper reached the last player, the host gives a signal that the rhyming ends and everyone hands over the sheets to him.

He straightens them and begins reading what happened. Most often these are such ridiculous texts! Everyone laughs! Everyone is extremely happy, because the result is very funny.

given rhymes: air - rest game - ax

illness - leisure land - ruble

A hut cannot be built without an ax friend, And sometimes other work is just rest, Work is my joy: a fun game, When in the face - good luck fresh air.

I rejected illnesses, I don’t know illness. I do not spend a single ruble on medicines. Road under my feet the earth spreads: Nature for me is medicine and leisure.

The lines must end with the given words, but the rhyme can change: it can be cross, paired or encircling. That is, pairs of rhyming words can be spread over a quatrain.

For example:

given the following rhymes:

gourd razor

blood-brow

The kids were preparing a pumpkin for the holiday,

To make a face, they took a sharp razor,

An awkward movement cut an eyebrow,

Crimson blood gushed to the floor.

Burime (bouts rimes) in French - "rhymed ends." This is a literary game in which poems are composed, often of a comic nature, on given thematically dissimilar, unexpected and unrelated rhymes. Sometimes a theme is given for the burime.

The French eccentric poet Dulot, who lived in the 17th century, during the reign of Louis XIV, is considered the inventor of burime. Once he told his friends that 300 sonnets had been stolen or lost from him. Such a huge number of works raised doubts. Then Dulot gave an explanation: they stole, in fact, not poems, but rhymes to future poems. Friends laughed at the poet and jokingly decided to write sonnets to the rhymes prepared by Dulot. They enjoyed this fun. From the sonnet burime, they then moved on to other types of it. Soon a game quickly began to spread and became fashionable. The poetess Antoinette Ligier (1638-1694) became especially famous at that time in writing sonnets to ready-made rhymes.

Over time, three were born regulations burime:

a) rhymes are chosen from words that are difficult to combine, unexpected;
b) rhymes should be varied;
c) rhymes can neither be changed in time and cases, nor rearranged.

The game in burim has survived to this day. It has been especially successful on the stage. This genre was first developed by Georgy Nemchinsky. Each viewer could tell him any word, another viewer immediately picked up a rhyme, the artist, based on the proposed set of words, composed a poem, always witty and on the topic of the day.

A follower of Nemchinsky - Yuri Gorny - to four pairs of rhymes given by the newspaper "Soviet Russia": air - rest, illness - leisure, a game- an ax, land - a ruble, - he immediately quoted:

The hut cannot be built without a circle-axe,
And sometimes work is just rest,
Work is my joy: a fun game,
When in the face - good luck fresh air.
I rejected illnesses, I don’t know illness.
I do not spend a single ruble on medicines.
Road under my feet the earth spreads:
Nature is medicine and leisure for me.

To the same rhymes

– herbs
- pine
- oak forests
- in spring

Try to compose a poem with the given rhymes. Curious what you can do? Compare your creation with the stanza of the famous poem by S. Yesenin. What is this poem?

Only in rhyme

First player says any word that comes to his mind, preferably a short one. The second calls a word that rhymes with the first. The third adds another word to the rhyme. Etc. The first person who fails to name a word in rhyme gets a minus. Whoever scores three minuses leaves games. The winner is the one left alone.

Here is a short example of rhyming words:

board lord
court nord
port hell
sport grade
cake etching
fiord fort
cord record

Only nouns in the nominative singular are used here, and if we agree and take all kinds of words, there will be even more rhymes, and a game more interesting and useful. The game will be even more intricate if you try to compose a poem for at least a few of the rhymes that have sounded.

Burime it verse, often humorous, based on given unpredictable rhymes; French literary game, which consists in compiling poems on pre-created rhymes, sometimes on a pre-selected topic.

Origin

Burime arose in the middle of the 17th century in France and was a kind of literary game. The French poet Dulot is considered to be the founder of Burime. In 1648, Dulot informed his friends that he had lost valuable manuscripts, in particular three hundred sonnets. Surprisingly close to such a large number of works, the poet explained that these were not actually poems, but rhymes prepared for them. Dulot's friends themselves began to compose sonnets to rhymes created by the poet. Everyone found this idea amusing and exciting.

The game soon spread throughout French society and became a popular pastime alongside board games, card games, and even sports. Composing poems based on given rhymes was widely used in aristocratic salons. The term "burime" (French "bouts-rimes" - rhymed ends) first appeared in 1762 in the fourth edition of the dictionary of the French Academy.

Development in literature

Soon, poets began to use not only sonnets, but also other poetic forms to create burime. Thus, burime entered the secular "light poetry" of the 17th-18th centuries. A significant contribution to the development of burime was made by the French poetess Antoinette Desulière, known for writing sonnets to ready-made rhymes. Burime sonnets are also found in Molière's work.

rebirth

After disappearing at the end of the 18th century, in the 19th century, the Burim fashion returned again. The French writer Alexandre Dumas became interested in the literary game, inviting the French rhymers to demonstrate their poetic skills and improvisational talent in the competition. Having compiled a list of rhymes selected for this purpose by the poet Joseph Meri, A. Dumas in 1864 organized a burim competition in France. The compositions of 350 participants of the competition were included in the publication "Rhymed Ends, published by A. Dumas" (1865).
The French tradition of composing burime was continued by the famous poets of the 20th century - L. Aragon, A. Breton, P. Eluard.

Burime in Russian poetry

In Russian literature, D. D. Minaev, V. L. Pushkin, A. A. Golenishchev-Kutuzov were famous for their talent for writing Burime. The first mass Burim competition in Russia was held in 1914 at the initiative of the Vesna magazine.

Burime example

The hut cannot be built without a circle-axe,
And sometimes work is just rest,
Work is my joy: a fun game,
When in the face - good luck fresh air.
(burime by Russian artist Yuri Gorny to a set of rhymes proposed by the newspaper "Soviet Russia")

Modern meaning

The literary game "burime" has not only survived to our time, but also received other ways of expression. Modern samples of burime are presented mainly in the form of a quatrain of a comic nature, composed according to clearly established rules.

Burime are impromptu. The essence of burime is that from incomparable, unrelated in meaning, often compound rhymes (for example: either Jeannette - or not), a complete semantic verse is obtained. Moreover, the more complex the rhyme, the more ingenuity is required to create a compositionally integral text. For fans of Burime, there are special sites that provide the opportunity for an interactive game. Thus, burime in a broad sense is an exercise in wit, the development of improvisational abilities, resourcefulness, a sense of humor and poetic talent.

The word burime comes from the French bouts-rimes, which means rhymed ends.

Burime

BURIME(bout - the end; rimé - rhymed) - a poem written on pre-given rhymes. In the 17th century, the French poetess M-me Deshoulières became famous for her burimes. And up to the present time, burime exists as a kind of parlor game. Due to this, burime, for the most part, is impromptu and has all its artistic features (see the word "impromptu").

Artistic techniques manifested in the process of creating burime - in the use of given rhymes - can also be found in the creation of ordinary poems, because in many cases, according to the just remark of Theodore de Banville, poetic inspiration comes from the found rhyme, the rhyme predetermines the general artistic meaning whole. But when perceiving a ready-made poem, when the process of its creation is hidden from the perceiver, one of the effects is unexpectedness - and, together, naturalness. rhymes in relation to general plan, while perceiving burime, when rhymes are known in advance, a similar effect is built on surprise - and, together, naturalness intent in relation to the given rhymes.

However, even from the side of not only the process of creation, but also the nature of its influence, the features of burime can be found in ordinary poetic speech. This applies to poems where banal rhymes are used. As with the perception of burime, the rhyme in this case is guessed in advance by the perceiving consciousness.

The use of a banal rhyme can be successful only when it reveals the traits of an internal necessity, and not formal coercion. This is carried out in the same way as when creating a burime: in surprise and at the same time the naturalness of the plan in relation to the banal rhyme. An example of a banal rhyme (woe - sea, sadness - distance), internally justified by the whole idea of ​​the artist, we find in Valery Bryusov:

When met in childhood grief

Ile boundless sadness -

Everything calmed the sea

And the sea is gentle distance.

A brilliant use of banal rhyme (frosts - roses) is found in A. Pushkin: he deliberately emphasizes its banality and thereby gives it a completely unexpected application, and the banality itself is already overcome by the unexpectedness of application:

"And now the frosts are cracking

And silver in the fields...

The reader is already waiting for the rhyme of "roses",

Here, take it quickly."

In another example, A. Pushkin artistically justifies the banal rhyme (youth - joy), establishing between these words, along with a sound connection, also a constant semantic connection:

“.......... youth

And eternal joy to her rhyme.
