This is pretty easy to use, just sometimes it takes a while to be able to actually find the right words. And I think it works a lot better when writing poetry to either not use the word if you can't think of anythin that rhymes because most of the time when you add one of the words from the dictionary, it sounds artificial and out of place.

As a beginner at writing poems I have found this book provides a simple, straight forward, fast way to find a rhyming word. It's compact size is convent to carry with you. The title doesn't do the book justice as it is much more than a rhyming dictionary. It provides a guideline for effective rhymes, history, warnings and different types of rhymes.

It's very sad that vital books have to be "updated" and "revised" to accomodate the writing careers of persons unable to create vital books themselves. See if you can get hold of the original Clement Woods instead.
Recommended: PENTATONIC SCALES FOR THE JAZZ-ROCK KEYBOARDIST by Jeff Burns.
