Poem rhyme analysis.


Sweet Spring

When the gloomy gray sky turns to clear azure blue,


And the snow disappears from the ground,
When the birds start to sing, A and our moods start to lift, A
Then we know Spring is coming around.
In this first stanza we can find a particular kind of rhyme which is Internal rhyme or
middle, because just in the line three of the poem we can see a rhyme word
halfway through a single line of poem with the end word of the same line (sing-lift)

When the first flower bulbs poke their heads toward the sun, A
Golden daffodils, hyacinths, too; B
When the brown grass turns green, and the wildflowers bloom, A
Then sweet Spring makes its showy debut. B
In this second stanza, we can see a different rhyming patter, because we find that
the line 1 and 3 rhyme and the 2 and 4 rhyme as well (ABAB)

Once again we awake from cold winter's pale dream, C


As our minds and our bodies revive; A
We rejoice and delight B in spring's colorful sight; B
Each new spring makes us glad we're alive! A
By Joanna Fuchs
In this last one stanza we can find two different types of rhyme, the first one, it is
End or terminal thyme in the AA lines, both end with the same consonant
sound(ive), and the other is middle rhyme, we can find this in the third line(BB)
JELLY, JAM, AND BUTTERED TOAST

Jelly, jam, and buttered toast. -A


I like breakfast food the most. -A
Bagels, cream cheese, juices -- fresh squeeze, -B
make me say, pass more here please. -B

In the first group letter A We can see the combination of the sound at the end the
letters S and T, in the second section the combination is E squeeze and please.

Lunch will often make me mutter. -A


I'm not fond of peanut butter. -A
I hate chips that won't go crunch. -B
Truly, I do not like lunch. -B

In the first group letter A, we can see the combination of the sound at the end of
the word and finished in ER in the second section the combination is CH, the two
have a consonant sound same A and B

Now dinner is another meal -A


I'll take or leave, that's how I feel. .A
There's always veggies I can't stand. -B
I have to eat them on demand. -B

In the first group letter A, we can see A short change at the final of the words the
first finish With AL and the second with EL but the pronunciation is the same so the
sound at the end of each word is E, in the second letter the sound is same ND
consonant sound.

If I could choose and have my way. -A


well, we'd eat breakfast food all day. -A
by Denise Rodgers

In these two lines, is a consonant sound the sound is the same Finished in Y.

In this Poem the sequence that we see is AA and BB because lines 1, 2, 3, 4


we can see rhymes at the final of the words. and combinations of sounds.
The Tiger
Tiger Tiger, burning bright, A
In the forests of the night; B
What immortal hand or eye, A
Could frame thy fearful symmetry? B

In what distant deeps or skies. A


Burnt the fire of thine eyes? B
On what wings dare he aspire? A
What the hand, dare seize the fire? B

And what shoulder, and what art, A


Could twist the sinews of thy heart? B
And when thy heart began to beat, A
What dread hand? and what dread feet? B

What the hammer? what the chain, A


In what furnace was thy brain? B
What the anvil? what dread grasp, A
Dare its deadly terrors clasp! B

When the stars threw down their spears A


And water’d heaven with their tears: B
Did he smile his work to see? A
Did he who made the Lamb make thee? B

Tiger Tiger burning bright, A


In the forests of the night: B
What immortal hand or eye, A
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry? B
by William Blake

Rhyme Scheme: The rhyme scheme in the entire poem is AB AB. This make the
stanza melodious and it is an End rhyme.
The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, A

And sorry I could not travel both B

And be one traveler, long I stoodA

And looked down one as far as I couldB

To where it bent in the undergrowth.B

The rhyme scheme : this means that the first line of the stanza rhymes with

the third and fourth line, while the second line rhymes with the fifth line, and

the sound of the word are similar.

Then took the other, as just as fair, A

And having perhaps the better claim,A

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;B

Though as for that the passing thereB

Had worn them really about the same,

these words make it rhyme and they are different, but the sounds are similar,

since the first line rhymes with the third and fourth and the second rhymes

with the fifth.

And both that morning equally layA

In leaves no step had trodden black.B

Oh, I kept the first for another day!A

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,A

I doubted if I should ever come back.B


The words are not the same, but when they are pronounced they have a

similar sound that is why they rhyme

I shall be telling this with a sigh B

Somewhere ages and ages hence: A

Two roads diverged in a wood, and B

I took the one less traveled by,B

And that has made all the difference. A

by Robert Frost

They are totally different but in the end they have something that sounds
similar and that's why they rhyme
