Definition: When words in the poem sound alike. For example square and pear rhyme.
Example:
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into Springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad.
Significance: Its important to include rhyme because it sounds fun. Like rhythm. It has a beat and it rhymes. The words make the audience for into the poem more that other poems. I think rhymes are more for kids poems than hardcore adult poems.
