make a list of rhyming word from the stanza
Answers
Answer:
I’m going to guess that this was a homework question to be applied to a particular poem. Since you haven’t posted the poem with it, then we just don’t know.
In general terms, the last words of a line rhyme. For instance, in Sir Walter Scott’s Lay of the Last Minstrel we have:
The way was long, the wind was cold,
The Minstrel was infirm and old;
His wither'd cheek, and tresses gray,
Seem'd to have known a better day;
The harp, his sole remaining joy,
Was carried by an orphan boy.
In this one, each pair of lines rhymes: cold/old, gray/day, joy/boy. It’s called an AA, BB, CC rhyming pattern.

In Omar Khayyam’s Rubaiyat, the first verse reads:
Awake! for morning in the bowl of night
Has flung the stone that puts the stars to flight;
And lo, the Hunter of the East has caught
The sultan’s turret in a noose of light.
In this one, lines 1, 2 and 4 rhyme, but line 3 does not.

In his humorous Australian poem, A Bush Christening, Banjo Paterson uses an internal rhyming scheme. (The Barcoo refferred to is the name of a river.)
On the outer Barcoo, where churches are few,
And men of religion are scanty;
On a track never crossed, ‘cept by those who are lost,
One Michael McGee had his shanty.
In this one the rhymes are Barcoo/are few, crossed/lost, and scanty/shanty.
So rhymes are words that sound alike but sometimes we have to search just a little to find the clever ones.
