There are lots of common
rhyme schemes that a
poem might have.You will want to examine the final words of the lines and
figure out which ones rhyme; this is called end
rhyme.An
English or Shakespearean
sonnet typically has a rhyme scheme that
follows this pattern:
ababcdcdefefgg.This means that the first and third lines rhyme, the second
and fourth lines rhyme, the fifth and seventh lines rhyme, the sixth and eighth lines
rhyme, the
ninth and eleventh lines rhyme, the tenth and twelfth lines rhyme,
and the thirteenth and
fourteenth lines rhyme.An Italian or
Petrarchan sonnet typically
follows this pattern:
abbaabbacdecde or abbaabbacdcdcd, for example.Some poems are written in
rhyming couplets, which means that the first and second
lines would
rhyme, the third and fourth lines would rhyme, and so on:
aabbccddeeffgg, and so on.Many poems
are written in stanzas that follow this
pattern: abab cdcd efef ghgh, and so
on.
