I remember, before Squishy got so sick, that I used to have a terrific rhyming dictionary on him, called simply "Rhymes". Now that he's all better, I want it back! :) Doing a google search on this gives me nothing, and searching for "rhyming dictionary"+pda comes up with a bunch of applications for Windows and Symbian OS, but nothing for Macs or PDAs, except an add-on to an application called BDicty, which I didn't like when I tried it years ago.

Can anyone help with a reference or a recommendation?

What I'm looking for in a rhyming dictionary is something comprehensive that includes not only single words and endings, but also phrases and word combinations. My all-time favourite rhyming dictionary is Sue Young's The New Comprehensive Aerican Rhyming Dictionary. Yes, I know it has the word 'American' in there, but it really is a terrific rhyming dictionary, despite its geographical origin! Honest; I'll show it to you sometime.

Anyway, back when I was writing lots of songs, that and David Grambs' The Describer's Dictionary, a wonderful little book either recommended to me or given to me by relentlesstoil (I don't remember which), were the blocks upon which I built an awful lot of songs.

I emphatically do not think that using a rhyming dictionary is "cheating" when you're writing poetry or songs, and I've never regretted carrying around my copy of Miller Williams' Patterns of Poetry either, so there! Right now, I'm going through The Ode Less Travelled, and I'm finding these resources very helpful. Now, if only they all fit into a little box smaller than a paperback book....
