Question

how to find rhyming scheme of a poem

Answer 1

Rhyme schemes continue through to the end of a poem, no matter how many lines or stanzas it contains; you usually do not start over with a new rhyme scheme in each stanza. When labeling a rhyme scheme in a poem, you can write uppercase letters at the end of each line that denote rhymes. The first line is “A,” and subsequent lines continue through the alphabet in order. If you find a line that rhymes with a previous line, you label it with the same letter as the earlier line. Remember that a line in the third stanza of a poem could rhyme with a line in the first stanza. Also be aware of slant or near rhymes, which are words that sound similar but do not exactly match.
