- A POEM may or may not have a RHYME.
- RHYME occurs when the final accented syllables of words sound alike. They usually occur at the end of a poetic line.
- A POEM that has RHYME means that the last words of the lines match with each other in some form. Either the last words of the first and second lines would RHYME with each other or the first and 3rd, second and the fourth and so on...
- RHYME is basically similar sounding words like 'cat ' and 'hat', 'close' and 'shows', 'house' and 'mouse,' etc.
FREE VERSE POETRY, THOUGH, DOES NOT FOLLOW THIS SYSTEM.
A regular RHYME scheme may make the poem's lines more predictable or easy to memorize.
