	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.

	Englyn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It uses quantitative metres, involving the counting of syllables, and rigid patterns of rhyme and half rhyme.
		This is identical to the englyn proest dalgron except that the half rhymes must use the ae, oe, wy, and ei diphthongs.
		In the first line there must be a break after the seventh, eighth, or ninth syllable, and the rhyme with the second line comes at this break; but the tenth syllable of the first line must either rhyme or be in assonance with the middle of the second line.

		Rhyme is a mnemonic device, an aid to the memory.
		A rhyme pattern in longer stanzas gives us a sense of where we are in the stanza, and how soon we can expect it to end, for the stanza cannot end until all the rhymes have been answered.
		The basic rhymes in English are masculine, which is to say that the last syllable of the line is stressed: "lane" rhymes with "pain", but it also rhymes with "urbane" since the last syllable of "urbane" is stressed.

	WORD PLAY
		Rhyme could be defined as the deliberate placement of similar sounds within a verse to create a pleasing sonic effect.
		Rhyme schemes are standardly described by assigning letters of the alphabet, starting with 'a', to individual pairs or groups of rhyming lines, and using the letters 'x' and 'y' to indicate lines that have no rhyming counterpart.
		On the rhyme front, it would be a song which used only perfect rhymes, which conformed to a very basic rhyme scheme such as xaxa, and in which no thought was paid to internal rhyme, alliteration or assonance.

	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.

	Rhyme in Ghazals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		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.
		However, as a half of the rhyme-refrain combo that strings the beads of the stanzas together, rhyme should be one of the major focuses when attempting to write ghazals.
		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 Alsop Review
		I, in common with other formalists, also applaud the skilled use of slant rhyme, what I do not accept is the flitting from true to slant and vice versa within a poem as a form of cheap convenience, or sometimes justified 'because it carries the sense'.
		You and I have had a few exchanges regarding the usefulness of this kind of rhyme, and I agree with you that its use in formal poetry should probably be cautious, but it may be spontaneous and "natural" for poets who are influenced by the musical tradition that draws on Elizabethan origins.
		As we seem to be expanding from questions of rhyme to repetitive sonics in general, perhaps we should consider the relationship of assonance and consonance to rhyme in an historical setting.

		Poets use rhyme all the time: half-rhyme, internal rhyme, broken rhyme, leonine rhyme, chain rhyme, random rhyme and vowels echoing intimately from inside one line across to the next.
		Rhyme should be used "sparingly, lest it offend the eare with tedious affectation".
		Rhyme acts on poets as "a constraint to express many things otherwise, and for the most part worse, than else they would have exprest them".

		Japanese 'haiku' is probably the most well-known of these forms; it requires no rhyme or meter; instead it has exactly three lines with 17 syllables in a 5/7/5 pattern, with the added requirement that it demonstrate a particular 'balance' in harmony/disharmony of subject, sound, and meter.
		A 'full rhyme' is one that shares the same vowel and final consonant sounds in one syllable: "rat"/"cat", "rut"/"cut" and "rough"/"cuff" are full rhymes.
		A 'half rhyme' differs from a full rhyme in that the vowel sound must be different: "rat"/"cut", "rut"/"cat" and "rough"/"cough" are half rhymes.

		Half rhyme (also called imperfect rhyme, near rhyme, oblique rhyme, off rhyme, and slant rhyme) fails either the test of identical vowel sounds or identical ending consonants, and sometimes fails both tests.
