style=\"color:#01075f;font-style:normal;font-weight:300;line-height:1.5\">A rhyme scheme describes the pattern of rhyming words at the end of each line in poetry. These are usually described using letters like A, B, C, D, etc., with each letter standing for one rhyming word ending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-border-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-a855a848665031673eff69084cef54ba is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"border-color:#dfe4ff;border-width:3px;border-radius:15px;color:#01075f;background-color:#fffeed;line-height:1.5\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<p style=\"line-height:1.5\"><strong>As an example, let\u2019s look at this common nursery rhyme:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"line-height:.5\">Twinkle, twinkle little <strong>star<\/strong> (<strong>A)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"line-height:.5\">How I wonder what you <strong>are<\/strong>?

(<strong>B)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"aofl-advice-paragraph has-text-color\" style=\"color:#01075f;font-style:normal;font-weight:300;line-height:1.5\">Focus on the words at the end of each line, assigning each one a letter. The first line, which ends in the word \u201cstar,\u201d is always<strong> assigned the letter A<\/strong>. In the second line, the ending word is \u201care,\u201d which rhymes with \u201cstar\u201d from the first line. So, it also receives the letter A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"aofl-advice-paragraph has-text-color\" style=\"color:#01075f;font-style:normal;font-weight:300;line-height:1.5\">In the third line, the rhyme at the end changes (\u201chigh\u201d), so we <strong>give it the letter B<\/strong>. The fourth line ends with a word that rhymes with the third line (\u201csky\u201d), so it\u2019s also B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"aofl-advice-paragraph has-text-color\" style=\"color:#01075f;font-style:normal;font-weight:300;line-height:1.5\">That means <strong>the rhyming scheme for this poem is AABB<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"aofl-advice-paragraph has-text-color\" style=\"color:#01075f;font-style:normal;font-weight:300;line-height:1.5\">It\u2019s important to recognize that rhymes may not always be exact. For instance, in Jack and Jill, \u201cwater\u201d and \u201cafter\u201d are counted as rhyming words. These are known as slant rhymes, as their sounds are fairly similar. Slant rhymes are frequently part of rhyme schemes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"examples\"><strong>More Rhyming Scheme Examples<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-border-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-9f886ef8a1f8423f250ec49c44a46825 is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"border-color:#dfe4ff;border-width:3px;border-radius:15px;color:#01075f;background-color:#fffeed;line-height:1.5\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<p style=\"line-height:1.5\">Note that two lines of a rhyming scheme don\u2019t need to be right next to each other in a poem to share the same rhyme scheme.
