1 Internal Rhyme Examples

2 Word at the End & Word in the Middle
The snowflakes are dancing, floating, and falling. / The church bells are calling, but I will not go.  The sky was a clear, rich shiny blue. / I knew it was true but I stayed inside. It is fallible men who make the law. / This may be a flaw, but there's no other way. 

3 Rhyme in the Same Line I went to town to buy a gown. / I took the car and it wasn’t far.  I had a cat who wore a hat. / He looked cool but felt the fool. I lost my dog in the midst of fog. / He found his way home, he doesn't like to roam. 

4 Rhyme in Separate Lines
I see a red boat that has a red flag. / Just like my red coat and my little red pail.  I wore a shiny new bow upon my head. / I began to grow and it fit me no more. I'd like to jump into the ocean. / But don't dump me in instead. 

5 The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe
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 someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. "'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door; Only this, and nothing more." In this one excerpt, you can see internal rhyme: Within one line with “napping” and “tapping” Internal rhyme between two lines with “napping” and “rapping” Internal rhyme between the last word of one line and a word in the middle of the following line with “tapping” and “rapping” As if that weren’t enough, Poe decided to put one more rhyming word in the third line, for just a little extra emphasis.
