Rhythm in English poetry comes from the variation between stressed and unstressed syllables.
Importance of Rhythm :
Traditional poetry usually has regular rhythms that set a pattern, making it easier to remember for recitation. These rhythms are enjoyable, because they reflect the natural movement of the human body. That's why poems with regular rhythms are often set to music for marching and dancing, amplifying the effect of the beat.
Rhyme is the repetition of the final sound or sounds of a word. For example, "say" rhymes with "may," and "sake" rhymes with "make." Words can rhyme within the same line; this is called internal rhyme. More often, the ends of two lines rhyme; this is called external rhyme.
Importance of Rhyme:
Rhyme, along with meter, helps make a poem musical. In traditional poetry, a regular rhyme aids the memory for recitation and gives predictable pleasure. A pattern of rhyme, called a scheme, also helps establish the form.
