Exploring A rhyme
Is a repetition of similar sounds in two or more words,
Most often at the end of lines in poems. It is usually in a short
poem.
Example: NIGHT
The Sun descending in the west,
The evening star does shine;
The birds are silent in their nest,
And I must seek for mine,
The moon, like a flower,
In heaven’s bower,
With silent delight,
Sits and smiles on the night.
The rhyme scheme: AB – AB – AA – BB
This poem personifies the moon and sun. It informs the reader that the
day is coming to an end and night is approaching
