Rhyme
Repetition of syllables

poetry
Rhymed words usually share all sounds
following the word’s last stressed
syllable
Rhyme Scheme
Describes the pattern of end rhymes
in a stanza
Letters of the alphabet are used to
code the rhyme scheme (ABAB, for
example)
Some words are EYE rhymes – they
only rhyme when spelled, but not
when pronounced.
--> through
and
rough
END rhyme is more common – the final
syllables in the line are rhymed:
Tyger, tyger, burning bright
In the forests of the night
(William Blake, The Tyger)
MASCULINE Rhyme is a common type
of rhyming. The stressed syllable is
the end of the line of poetry & it is
the syllable which rhymes.
hells
and
bells
cat
and
rat
annoy
and
destroy
FEMININE Rhyme occurs when the
penultimate (second to last) syllable is
the stressed syllable and rhymes with
the penultimate syllable in another
word (typically
–
ing or
–
er words).
dicing
and
enticing
table
and
label
IDENTICAL Rhyme uses the same,
identical word twice in rhyming
positions
“I can have another you in a minute /
matter of fact, he’ll be here in a
minute”
INTERNAL Rhyme is when words within
a single line of poetry rhyme with each
other – a word in the middle of the line
could rhyme with a word at the end of
the line.
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
(Edgar Allan Poe)
MONORHYME occurs when there is only one rhyme in the entire stanza.
Silent, Silent Night by William Blake
Silent Silent Night
Quench the holy light
Of thy torches bright
For possessd of Day
Thousand spirits stray
That sweet joys betray
Why should joys be sweet
Used with deceit
Nor with sorrows meet
But an honest joy
Does itself destroy
For a harlot coy
