Three rhyme types that we will be reviewing: Internal Rhyme End Rhyme Slant Rhyme

Internal Rhyme Rhyme that occurs in a single line of verse Example: Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. "'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door - “Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe

End Rhyme A rhyme that occurs in the last syllables of verses. Example: Whose woods these are I think I know, His house is in the village, though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. -“Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost

Slant Rhyme two words that have only their final consonant sounds and no preceding vowel or consonant sounds in common (such as stopped and wept, or parable and shell). Example: Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all. -”Hope is the thing with feathers” by Emily Dickinson

3 types of rhyme: – Internal Rhyme: rhyme that occurs in a single line – End Rhyme: rhyme that occurs at the end of a line – Slant Rhyme: two or more words that have only their ending consonant sounds in common (ill, shell)
