	Rhyme scheme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A rhyme scheme is like the pattern of rhyming like lines in a poem or in like lyrics for music.
		A basic distinction is between rhyme schemes that apply to a single stanza, and those that continue their pattern throughout an entire poem (see chain rhyme).
		In English, highly repetitive rhyme schemes are unusual.

	Rhyme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In English, the spelling "rhyme" came to be adopted at the beginning of the Modern English period in order to reflect the Greek original, in the same way that a b was added to the words "dette" and "doute" to reflect the original Latin debitum and dubitum.
		One of the earliest rhyming poems in English is The Rhyming Poem.
		Rhyme was unknown in Latin poetry until it was introduced under the influence of local vernacular traditions in the early Middle Ages.

	virtuaLit: Elements of Poetry
		Rhyme helps to unify a poem; it also repeats a sound that links one concept to another, thus helping to determine the structure of a poem.
		There are varieties of rhyme: internal rhyme functions within a line of poetry, for example, while the more common end rhyme occurs at the end of the line and at the end of some other line, usually within the same stanza if not in subsequent lines.
		Once you have identified a rhyme scheme, examine it closely to determine (1) how rigid it is, (2) how closely it conforms to a predetermined rhyme scheme (such as a sestina), and especially (3) what function it serves.

	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.

	rhyme
		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.
		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.

		The word external means “outside.” So an external rhyme scheme is a pattern of words that rhyme on the “outside.” edge of the poem –; the last syllable in the last word of each line in a stanza.
		An easy way to see a poem’s external rhyme scheme is to assign each sound at the end of a line a letter – the first sound you come to is given an A, the second a B, and so on.
		But while internal rhyme schemes are unique to the stanza –; the rhyming words usually reinforce something that’s happening within that small part of the poem –; an external rhyme scheme usually applies to the entire poem.

	Rhyme Scheme
		One case to notice is in the second stanza, where "peonies" [pronounced "pee-oh-neez"] is used to rhyme with "eyes." This is an instance of what is called slant rhyme (sometimes also called eye rhyme), where the two words do not rhyme perfectly (usually the discrepancy is in the vowel sound).
		Internal rhyme happens when two words in a poem rhyme, but at least one is not located at the end of a line.
		Rhyme schemes, especially ones that repeat (as this one does), are often written in the following form: a b a b c d e c d e.

	Rhyme in Spanish Poetry
		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.
		Masculine rhyme (rima masculina): This is one-syllable rhyme; that is, the rhyme words are stressed on the last syllable and thus the rhyme involves only the last vowel and any semi-vowel and/or consonant occurring thereafter.

		You let the part that fucks up the rhyme (the 'll in still) carry on more to the next word than it should, so the rhyming part of your word is more prominent...It's a hard concept to work with at first, but with some expirimentation, you should do juss fine...

		Rhyme is the similarity in sound of the ends of words: the last stressed syllable and the following unstressed syllables (if any).
		When rhyming verses are arranged into stanzas, we can identify the rhyme scheme by assigning letters each rhyme, beginning with a and proceeding through the alphabet.
		Most rhymes appear at the end of lines, but internal rhyme is the appearance of similar sounds somewhere in the middle of a verse.

	Sonnets are meant to be read aloud
		The rhyme scheme for the octet is typically abbaabba.
		This adaptation of the Italian model allowed for the sparser rhymes of the English language by using seven rather than five rhymes and also encouraged a "summing up" couplet at the end.
		So it combines the five rhymes of the Petrarchan sonnet with the 3 quatrain and couplet structure of the Elizabethan sonnet; it’s a hybrid form, and fiercely difficult to write.

		The description of the rhyme scheme of "The Raven" tells you what that scheme or pattern is but says nothing about how it functions in the poem.
		Of course, the most obvious way in which the rhyme scheme reinforces the theme of inconsolable loss is through the emphatic repetition of "Nevermore." Since this refrain comes at the very end of each of the last stanzas it is even more powerful in its effect.
		These harsh critics cynically add that in a way the rhymes and repetitions are appropriate because the whole poem is excessive and cloying: grief over loss, even intense grief, does pass away.

	Climbing Rhyme
		In English verse we are more accustomed to end rhyme, but most Burmese patterns employ a scheme of internal rhyme: the same rhyme appears in the 4th syllable of line 1, the 3rd syllable of line 2 and the 2nd syllable of line 3.
		This scheme is repeated throughout a verse, no matter the length.
		Since an English line might be unworkably short at 4 syllables, we might try a line of 4 words, using the prescribed 4-3-2 rhyme scheme and ending in a slightly longer final line.

	Poetry Life and Times, Vallance Review No. 44, April 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		By introducing a rhyming couplet in the middle of the sonnet, Ronsard was able to alter the rhyme scheme to suit the requirements of French.
		This permits the poet to submerge his rhymes within a sentence, so that when someone recites the sonnet aloud (as indeed any truly harmonious sonnet should be read!), he or she is able to read it with the natural flow of spoken English, which tends to be more or less iambic in its rhythms.
		The first uses the rhyme scheme abbaabbacdedce, is in regular pentameter, largely iambic, and treats of an age-old subject, long established since ancient times in lyric poetry, the passage of time and our mortality.
