Rhyme Scheme

A rhyme scheme is the pattern of rhymes at the end of each line in a poem or song. It helps create structure and musicality in the writing. Rhyme schemes are often labeled with letters, where lines that rhyme receive the same letter. For example, in the pattern AABB, the first two lines rhyme with each other (A), and the next two lines rhyme with each other (B). Understanding rhyme schemes can enhance appreciation of poetry and lyrics, as they contribute to the overall rhythm and emotional impact of the work.
