1) Rhyme is the repetition of similar or identical sounds, typically at the ends of lines in verse. There can be full rhymes with identical vowel and consonant sounds, or incomplete rhymes with variations. 2) Modifications to rhyming include compound or broken rhymes where one or more words rhyme with a combination of words, and eye rhymes where the letters but not sounds are identical. 3) Rhymes can be arranged in different patterns within a stanza, such as couplets where successive lines rhyme, or abab cross rhymes. Internal rhymes place rhyming words within rather than at the ends of lines.

2. Rhyme is the repetition of identical or
similar terminal sound combinations
in words.
Rhyming words are typically placed at
regular intervals from each other,
especially in verse where they often
appear at the end of corresponding
lines.
What is rhyme?

3. The identity and similarity of sound combinations can be
relative. For instance, we distinguish between full rhymes
and incomplete rhymes.
Incomplete rhymes present more variety.
They can be divided into two main groups:
vowel rhymes and consonant rhymes. In
vowel rhymes, the vowels of the syllables
in corresponding words are identical, but
the consonants may differ, as in "flesh,"
"fresh," "press." Consonant rhymes, on the
contrary, show concordance in consonants
but disparity in vowels, such as "worth" and
"forth," "tale" and "tool," "treble" and
"trouble," "flung" and "long."
Full rhyme implies the identity of
both the vowel sound and the
following consonant sounds in a
stressed syllable, as in "might"
and "right," "needless" and
"heedless." When there is identity
in the stressed syllable, including
the initial consonant of the
second syllable (in polysyllabic
words), we have exact or identical
rhymes.

4. Modifications in rhyming
Modifications in rhyming sometimes go so far as to make one word
rhyme with a combination of words, or two or even three words
rhyme with corresponding two or three words, as in "upon her
honour" rhyming with "won her," "bottom" rhyming with "forgot'em"
and "shot him." Such rhymes are called compound or broken rhymes.
This technique gives a colloquial and sometimes humorous touch to
the utterance.

5. Eye-rhyme
Compound rhyme may be set against what is called eye-rhyme, where the
letters and not the sounds are identical, such as "love" and "prove,"
"flood" and "brood," "have" and "grave." Compound rhyme is perceived in
reading aloud, while eye-rhyme can only be perceived in written verse.
Many eye-rhymes are the result of historical changes in vowel sounds in
certain positions. English verse also retains some pairs of what were once
rhyming words. On the analogy of these pairs, new eye-rhymes have been
coined, and they now function alongside ear-rhymes.

6. Cross rhymes - abab.
According to how the rhymes are arranged
within the stanza, certain models have
crystallized:
Triple rhymes - aaa.
Framing or ring rhymes -
abba.
Couplets - when the last
words of two successive
lines are rhymed (commonly
marked aa).

7. Internal rhyme
5.
"I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers." (Shelley)
"Once upon a midnight dreary while I pondered weak and weary." (Poe)
There is yet another variety of rhyme called internal rhyme, where rhyming words
are placed not at the ends of the lines but within the line, such as in:
Internal rhyme breaks the line into two distinct parts, simultaneously strengthening
the ideas expressed in these two parts. Rhyme can be said to possess two
seemingly contradictory functions: separating and consolidating, depending on the
distribution of the rhymes. In aa rhymes, the consolidating function is quite
noticeable, while in aabaab rhymes, the rhyming words bb may not immediately
reveal their consolidating function.

8. The separating and distinctive
functions
6.
The separating function of internal rhyme creates a distinctive
pause, which naturally results from the longer line. This quality
of internal rhyme can be seen as its primary characteristic.
The distinctive function of rhyme is particularly noticeable when
it occurs unexpectedly in everyday speech or prose. The
listener's attention is captured by the rhyme, potentially
causing them to lose track of the discourse.
