Scheme
• Rhyme Scheme is the pattern in
which sounds in lines of poetry end.
• Each new sound in a poem is
assigned a different letter. (The first
line of a rhyming poem is always
assigned the letter “a.”)
• If a sound repeats, it is assigned the
same letter as the line in which the
same sound appeared.
• Rhyme schemes continue through to the
end of a poem, no matter how many lines
or stanzas it contains; do not start over
with a new rhyme scheme in each stanza.
• If you find a line that rhymes with a
previous line, 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.
