  1. Rhyme Scheme

  2. Rhyme Schemeis 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. Find the Rhyme Scheme in the following poems:

  3. Mary had a little lamb Whose Fleece was white as snow, And everywhere that Mary went The lamb was sure to go.

  4. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall All the kings horses and all the king's men Couldn't put Humpty together again.

  5. Bad MorningBy Langston Hughes  Here I sitWith my shoes mismated.Lawdy-mercy!I's frustrated!

  6. Celery By Ogden Nash   Celery, raw Develops the jaw, But celery, stewed, Is more quietly chewed.

  7. Fire and IceBy Robert Frost Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice.From what I've tasted of desireI hold with those who favor fire.But if it had to perish twice,I think I know enough of hateTo say that for destruction iceIs also greatAnd would suffice.

  8. A Farewell by Lord Alfred Tennyson Flow down, cold rivulet, to the sea,Thy tribute wave deliver:No more by thee my steps shall be,For ever and for ever.Flow, softly flow, by lawn and lea,A rivulet then a river;No where by thee my steps shall be,For ever and for ever.But here will sigh thine alder tree,And here thine aspen shiver;And here by thee will hum the bee,For ever and for ever.A thousand suns will stream on thee,A thousand moons will quiver;But not by thee my steps shall be,For ever and for ever.

  9. The Fish by William Butler Yeats Although you hide in the ebb and flowOf the pale tide when the moon has set,The people of coming days will knowAbout the casting out of my net,And how you have leaped times out of mindOver the little silver cords,And think that you were hard and unkind,And blame you with many bitter words.
