Creating Rhyme and Rhythm
There are multiple forms of rhymes and rhyme tactics you can use to perform poetic gymnastics....see what I did there?
- Masculine rhymes are one syllable rhymes: sink/pink, defeat/eat, sleep/creep.
- Feminine rhymes are two Syllable rhymes: drilling/grilling, reparation/nation, quiet/riot
- Triple rhymes are three-syllable rhymes: daringly/glaringly, steadily/readily, audacity/tenacity.
Notice that the syllables are not counted per word, but per rhyme. For help coming up with your own rhymes, try out RhymeZone!
