Poems that do not have a regular rhythm are called free verse.

9. Rhyme Poets often use words that rhyme
Often, poets place the rhyming words at the end of a line of poetry
This is called end rhyme

Poets often choose to repeat certain sounds, words, phrases, or whole lines
This helps the poet emphasize an idea or create a certain feeling
