Rhyme and Rhythm
One of the other main things that identifies Poetry from Prose, is that poetry can rhyme and have a rhythm when reading it.
We can categorise poetry rhyme schemes in many different ways, depending on which ending of lines (stanzas) rhyme. When identifying rhyme schemes, we use letters (A B C etc) to match the rhyming lines. For example: Twinkle, twinkle little star (A) How I wonder what you are (A) Up above the world so high (B) Like a diamond in the sky (B) Star and are rhyme (A and A), and high and sky rhyme (B and B). This is called and AABB rhyming scheme, or a rhyming couplet. A rhyme scheme that is in a 4 line verse is called a rhyming quatrain. These can be in a variety of rhyming forms, for example: A B A B or A B C B |
