Looking for a 5-slyllable line with an end rhyme


I am stuck on a line.
I am looking for a rhyme.
I need a 5-syllable line with an end rhyme.
I need an end word that rhymes with sky,
such as fry,
why,
my,
lie...

I can think of rhyming word, but I cannot come up with a 5-syllable line. Perhaps I should just let the poem lay. Perhaps I should meditate and pray. I think I will get something to eat and then try again to find the line and the rhyme.

    An irritating few days

    The last few days were irritating, I think because I wasn't feeling good. However, I'm feeling better today. I'm not sure why I was feeling bad, not exactly ill, and I'm not sure why I'm feeling better.

    I started a poem yesterday, which I wanted to post to this blog. I haven't finished the poem yet, but I'm going to put the part of it I have in this entry.

    Write about an island.
    Daily writing practice prompt for Tuesday, June 16, 2009 was “Write about an island.”

    Earth is an island
    floating in the light
    rotating from day to night

    Earth is an island
    revolving through time.
    I'm going to have to finish the poem just not today. The problem is that I can't seem to find a rhyme for island or time that doesn't sound forced. That's the problem with writing rhymed poetry, sometimes finding a rhyming word that sounds as if it is natural to the poem is difficult.
