Rhyming poem Tips:

8 Years Ago


Rhyme can add a driving music to your poems. While not all poems need to rhyme. Poems that do rhyme tend to seem all the more spectacular. 

Make a list of full rhymes.

Dog, for example, rhymes perfectly with bog, cog, log, nog, agog, frog, grog, hog, and lots of others.
Come up with your own list for practice.
If you have a theme in mind, try to start coming up with a few different vocab words that might make for a good poem, and match rhyming words with each.

Another great tip:
Pick a rhyme scheme and use it to revise your poem.
ABAB is one of the most common rhyme schemes. It means that the first and third line rhyme (A with A), as do the second and fourth (B with B). Ex

A – Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
B – Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
A – Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
B – And summer’s lease hath all too short a date 

ABCB is another common rhyme scheme, offering more flexibility. Ex.

A – Roses are red
B – Violets are blue
C – Sugar is sweet
B – And so are you.
