Words that rhyme have the same sound.
'Cheese' and 'peas' both have the same sound. You can write rhyming poems by using pairs or groups of words that use the same sounds.

It will help you see the pattern of the poem. For example, if a poem's first and third lines rhyme you should label those 'A'. If the second and fourth lines of the poem rhyme, label these 'B'. Then you can see your four line poem has an 'A B A B' rhyme scheme. If all four lines rhyme with each other, this is an 'A A A A' rhyme scheme. kzmarr https://padlet.com/kzmarr/9cyt4c37bg9bpan3/wish/2444934823 2023-01-15 20:26:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kzmarr/9cyt4c37bg9bpan3/wish/2444934823 What is repetition? kzmarr https://padlet.com/kzmarr/9cyt4c37bg9bpan3/wish/2444935662 Repeating a word or phrase in a sentence can emphasise a point, or help to make sure it is fully understood.]]> 2023-01-15 20:28:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kzmarr/9cyt4c37bg9bpan3/wish/2444935662 Example of repetition: In his poem Visiting Hour, Norman MacCaig writes about visiting his sick wife in hospital: 'I will not feel, I will not feel, until I have to.'
