This article takes its inspiration and provocation from a reading of a rhyme-rich passage in Derrida's Politics of Friendship. It thinks about the poetics of friendship, and the politics of rhyme, reading Derrida in relationship to Edward Thomas and Carl Schmitt - an unlikely duo. While it does not offer a ‘defence of rhyme’, it explores the connections between rhyme, defence and undefendedness, and considers the chances and risks that rhyme-writing opens up.
