	rhyme — FactMonster.com
		In the Middle Ages, end rhyme (rhyme at the end of a line), assonance (repetition of related vowel sounds), and alliteration (repetition of consonants, particularly at the beginning of words) were predominant in vernacular verse.
		After 1300 rhyme came to be the outstanding metrical mark of poetry until the introduction of blank verse in the 16th cent.
		Feminine rhyme predominates in Spanish and Italian poetry, while German and French use masculine and feminine rhyme equally.

		In the Middle Ages, end rhyme (rhyme at the end of a line), assonance (repetition of related vowel sounds), and alliteration (repetition of consonants, particularly at the beginning of words) were predominant in vernacular verse.
		Alliteration and assonance were both called rhyme by early writers, but today two words are said to rhyme only when the sound of the final accented syllable of one word (placed usually at the end of a line of verse) agrees with the final accented syllable of another word so placed.
		When rhymes are of two syllables or, more properly, when they are not accented on the last syllable or end in a final mute e (able and cable), they are said to be weak endings, or double, or feminine, rhymes.

	rhyme (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Rhyme serves to unify and distinguish divisions of a poem, because it is likely that the rhyme sounds followed in one stanza—the Spencerian for instance—will be changed when the next stanza is started, although the rhyme scheme remains the same.
		The types of rhyme are classified according to two schemes: (1) the position of the rhymes in the line, and (2) the number of syllables involved.
		Double rhyme is another name for feminine rhyme; (3) triple rhyme, in which the rhyming stressed syllable is followed by two undifferentiated unstressed syllables, as in "glorious" and "victorious." Triple rhyme...is usually reserved for humourous, satirical verse...

	Guide to Verse Forms - Rhyme
		Another form of internal rhyme has a word in the middle of one line rhyming with the the word at the end of a different line; this is sometimes called cross rhyme - which is liable to be confused with cross-rhyme, a particular kind of 4-line stanza.
		One particular form of cross rhyme, in which the word at the end of one line rhymes with a line in the middle of the next, is common in Irish poetry, where it is known as aicill rhyme.
		Rhyming a word in the middle of one line with a word in the middle of another is called interlaced rhyme.

	Rhyme
		Rhyme is the repetition of the sound of one word or the last syllable(s) of one word in a second word or the last syllable(s) of a second word.
		Feminine rhyme is also known as trochaic rhyme because it follows the pattern of a trochee and a perfect trochaic line must have this type of rhyme (although as stated above it is permissible to truncate the final foot to create a masculine rhyme).
		Rhyme at the beginning or in the middle of a line is used to achieve effect much in the same way as alliteration.

	Glossary of Literary Terms
		If an iambic pentameter ends in a feminine rhyme the last, unstressed, syllable is usually not counted as one of the ten syllables in the line ('To be or not to be, that is the question' - the 'ion' is unstressed and takes the line into an eleventh syllable).
		Thus rhyme is a figure of speech, as is alliteration and anaphora.
		Rhyme: When two or more words or phrases contain an identical or similar vowel-sound, and the consonant-sounds that follow are identical or similar (red and dead).

		Rhyme is the matching of sounds in two or more words, beginning with the stressed vowels and including all subsequent sounds in the words.
		Feminine rhyme is usually the same as double rhyme, meaning that the rhyme sound extends over two syllables in each of the rhyme words.
		Internal rhyme is not marked in a rhyme scheme, and the mere sequence of letters doesn’t distinguish between true rhyme and slant rhyme or between masculine and feminine rhymes.

	LitGloss - R
		Rhyme is predominantly a function of sound rather than spelling; thus, words that end with the same vowel sounds rhyme, for instance, day, prey, bouquet, weigh, and words with the same consonant ending rhyme, for instance vain, feign, rein, lane.
		End rhyme is the most common form of rhyme in poetry; the rhyme comes at the end of the lines.
		Rhyme schemes are mapped out by noting patterns of rhyme with small letters: the first rhyme sound is designated a, the second becomes b, the third c, and so on.

	The UVic Writer's Guide: Rhyme
		Two words are said to rhyme if their last stressed vowel and the sounds that follow it match (as in "afar" and "bizarre," "biology" and "ideology," or "computer" and "commuter").
		Internal rhymes are rhyming words within a line: "The sails at noon left off their tune" (Coleridge, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" [1797]).
		A distinction is also made between masculine rhyme, in which only one syllable rhymes ("loud" and "proud"), and feminine rhyme, in which the rhyme extends over more than one syllable, both stressed and unstressed ("cooking" and "looking").

	Feminine rhyme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A feminine rhyme, in English prosody, is a rhyme that matches two or more syllables at the end of the respective lines.
		Feminine rhyme is relatively rare in English poetry and usually appears as a special effect.
		In hip hop music, especially since the 1990s, the use of feminine rhyme in rapping (often referred to by the colloquial terms "multis" or "multirhymes" - a contraction of "multisyllabic rhymes") is considered a sign of technical skill, and some rappers have been known to put together large strings of complex rhyme patterns.

	Rhyme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		feminine: a rhyme in which the stress is on the penultimate (second from last) syllable of the words.

	Rhyme in Spanish Poetry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Perfect rhyme (rima perfecta or rima consonante) in Spanish poetry is basically the same type of rhyme we are familiar with in English poetry and song, where the vowels as well as the consonants “rhyme” or sound identical for groups of words.
		Rhyme begins with the last stressed vowel of a line of poetry, and may consist of either one or two syllables, depending on whether or not the last stressed vowel is the final syllable in the line.
		Feminine rhyme (rima feminina): This is two-syllable rhyme, where the rhyme words are stressed on the next-to-last syllable and have the same sound starting with the primary vowel of the next-to-the-last syllable.

	Rhyme in Ghazals
		The addition of "-s" or "-ed" to rhyme words, if used extremely sparingly--I would suggest one per ghazal, possibly two if the poem is long enough--can add a slight alteration to the mono-rhyme, and keep the whole poem fresh and buoyant.
		Rhyme, of course, is not the only component to the ghazal.
		By varying the parts of speech used in rhyme, by varying the syllabic count of rhyme words, and, in cases of extreme playfulness, by rhyming masculine and feminine words together, a poet can avoid some of the common paths that lead towards unsuccessful ghazals.

		The use of rhyme in the end words of verse originally arose to compensate for the sometimes unsatisfactory quality of rhythm within the lines; variations in the patterns of rhyme schemes then became functional in defining diverse stanza forms, such as, ottava rima, rhyme royal, terza rima, the Spenserian stanza, and others.
		Rhyme schemes are also significant factors in the definitions of whole poems, such as ballade, limerick, rondeau, sonnet, triolet, and villanelle.

		Rhyme: When used as a noun in literary criticism, this term generally refers to a poem in which words sound identical or very similar and appear in parallel positions in two or more lines.
		Rhymes are classified into different types according to where they fall in a line or stanza or according to the degree of similarity they exhibit in their spellings and sounds.
		In a masculine rhyme, the rhyming sound falls in a single accented syllable, as with "heat" and "eat." Feminine rhyme is a rhyme of two syllables, one stressed and one unstressed, as with "merry" and "tarry." Triple rhyme matches the sound of the accented syllable and the two unaccented syllables that follow: "narrative" and "declarative."
