POETRY

Rhyme: Many beginning poets assume that a poem must contain exact end rhyme, but most contemporary readers have found that such repetition of sound to be boring. Try employing one of the following methods of using rhyme:

Use off rhyme or partial rhyme at the end of lines (bad/dead).

Use rhyme WITHIN the line instead of at the end.

Use rhyme at the BEGINNING of lines instead of at the end.
