I use my fingers as well, most trustworthy method.
Also, last week of the giveaway now!

I'll stop bumping my own thread now, just that in most of the world, today is Eid, so again, happy feasting to all!

Over here, it'll be tomorrow, however, I probably won't be around on the forums.
So keep on with the tanagas!

Have a good celebration.
Thanks for participation-
based forum game sensation.
Til next time, salutations!

An extra s at the end
should I then perhaps pretend
that noone could comprehend
without that s at the end?

As a greeting, the word "salutations" with the s is how it is done. "Salutations" is basically an archaic form of today's "greetings" or "cheers" - both of which would seem funny to an English speaker without the final s.

I know that is the correct form but then it does not rhyme with the rest unless that s is silent. Is it?

-------------
Rhyming depends on how words are pronounced, not spelt.
This made it impossible for me to rhyme two words that were spelt exactly the same from the point of stress to the end of the words because in one word the s was pronounced zz and in the other it was soft. I contemplated ignoring that, like a lot of non-native speakers but could not.

Grammar is overrated.
Let this be clearly stated:
It's rules should be abated
When poetry is rated!

Technically, salutations and participation is an "additive rhyme." I wasn't so concerned since this one is not my actual entry, so I wasn't 100% strict.

On the other hand, the OP didn't get very strictly technical when defining "rhyme." But generally speaking when someone says AAAA rhyming scheme they mean end rhymes and perfect rhymes.

What matters most in end rhymes and perfect rhymes is the stresses on the syllables. Not only must the stresses between the rhyming words be the same, but also, if only one syllable is rhymed, it must be stressed (masculine rhyme). The final syllable can be unstressed, but only if the final two syllables rhyme (feminine rhyme).

So, beauty and cutey rhyme, because the stresses are the same as well as the sounds (feminine).
Shark and dark rhyme (masculine).
Hip hop and flip flop rhyme (double rhyme).
Computation and election don't rhyme. Only the last syllables rhyme, and they are unstressed. Technically they still rhyme, but it is a weak rhyme. Most people wouldn't use it or count it.
Additive rhymes are less common, but they generally count as a good perfect end rhyme.
I was struck by your beauty.
You outshine the other cuties.
Your light leaves me in the dark
With the other pick-up sharks.

Gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold.
Gold? Gold, gold gold. Gold gold gold!
Gold gold gold gold gold gold gold.
Gold gold gold gold. Gold, gold... gold!

Ah! The old dwarven song!

This one is good as gold.

OK, I am no expert on writing poetry. Sorry, I was only trying to be helpful but just ended up showing how uneducated I am. Here is a top tip for life: Learn to keep your mouth shut if you are not very knowledgeable.

Once again, so sorry!

no need to apologise! Writing songs is what I do, so I've studied and thought about this stuff for a long time. I was just explaining a bit and got up on my soap box. Didn't mean to come across as correcting you! Sorry!

Eid Mubarak, Babark, and thanks for this creative giveaway !  :-)
 
 
   There is a place full of bugs
   More addictive than a drug
   Where people have huge backlogs
   This nice kingdom is called GOG.
 
 
   At the center of a park
   Lies a statue of Babark
   That is shining in the dark
   Like a glorious landmark.

Looking at the location I think it's these guys.
