Rhyme Scheme

A rhyme scheme is the pattern of rhymes at the end of each line of a poem.

A stanza is a grouped set of lines in a poem, often separated by a space from other stanzas.

In AABB, the first two lines rhyme with each other, and the next two lines rhyme with each other.

In ABAB, the first and third lines rhyme, and the second and fourth lines rhyme.

A couplet is a pair of consecutive lines of poetry that usually rhyme.

To identify the rhyme scheme, assign a letter to each line based on its ending sound, starting with 'A' for the first line.

The rhyme scheme of 'Dreams' is ABCB.

End rhyme refers to when the last words of two or more lines of poetry rhyme with each other.

An example of a rhyme scheme is AABB, where the first two lines rhyme and the next two lines rhyme.

A stanza is a group of lines in a poem, while a verse can refer to a single line of poetry or a stanza.
