Rhyme has several **functions**: • it adds a musical quality to the poem; • it makes the poem easier to remember; • it affects the pace and tone of the poem.

There are several different **types** of rhyme: 1. True/perfect/full rhyme -identical sounds correspond exactly *Boat-float; might-right; kite-night; day-say; goes-flows*

2. Incomplete/imperfect/half rhyme/slant rhyme: *fresh-flesh; road-boat; loads-lads; honour-won her*.

3. Eye-rhyme: *advice-compromise; have-grave; love-prove; flood-doom *

4. End rhymes fall at the end of the lines. They mark the end of the line.

5. Internal rhymes occur within the same line: * ‘I bring fresh showers to the thirsting flowers’* The internal rhyme has two functions: dissevering and consolidating, realized simultaneously.

According to the way the rhymes are arranged within the stanza, there are some certain models: • Couplets-**aa** • Cross rhymes-**abab** • Framing rhyme-**abba**
