Types of Rhymes EndEnd – EyeEye – SlantSlant – InternalInternal – words at the ends of lines rhyme words look like they should rhyme Words that almost rhyme words inside the line rhyme with words at the end of the line

END RHYME You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.

EYE RHYME ' 'Tis the last rose of summer, Left blooming alone; All her lovely companions Are faded and gone;' -Thomas Moore Another example: Enough Though

SLANT RHYME “Hope” is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all – -Emily Dickenson

INTERNAL RHYME Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

Rhyme Scheme DEFINITION: a regular pattern of rhyming words in a poem. Each new rhyme is assigned the next letter of the alphabet, while repeat sounds get whatever letter they were first assigned.

What’s the rhyme scheme?

You would not believe your eyes If ten million fireflies Lit up the world as I fell asleep Cause they fill the open air And leave teardrops everywhere You'd think me rude, but I Would just stand and stare. I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns slowly. It's hard to say that I'd Rather stay awake when I'm asleep, Cause everything is never as it seems. From “Fireflies” by Owl City A A B C C A C B B A B B

Meter DEFINITION: the rhythmic pattern of the poem. Determined by the number of stresses or beats in each line.

Stress DEFINITION: The emphasis that falls on certain syllables and not others

Foot DEFINITION: a basic unit of meter. Normally contains either two or three syllables with varying patterns of stress.
