  7. Identifying Rhyme Scheme Stop Theif! By Shel Silverstein Policeman, policeman, A Help me please. B Someone went and stole my knees. B I’d chase him down but I suspect C My feet and legs just won’t connect. C

  8. Fire and Ice Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice. Robert Frost

  9. Types of Rhyme • Exact Rhyme: • The whole word rhymes. Ex. Love and dove, True and blue. • Slant Rhyme (half rhyme): • A slant rhyme is when there is a close, but not exact, rhyme. • Rhyme in which two words share just a vowel sound (ex. “heart” and “star”) or in which they share just a consonant sound (ex. “milk” and “walk”) • Examples: years and yours, Forever and river

  10. Types of Rhyme cont. • End Rhyme: • a rhyme of the last word or the last syllable of two or more lines of verse • Example: Roses are red        Violets are blue     End rhyme scheme is fun      And so are you! 

  11. Types of Rhyme cont. • Internal Rhyme: • Two or more rhyming words occur within the same line • Ex. Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary - Edgar Allen Poe (The Raven). • Two or more rhyming words will appear in the middle of two separate lines or sometimes in more • Ex. I wore a shiny new bow upon my head. / I began to grow and it fit me no more. • A word at the end of a line rhymes with one or more in the middle of the following line • Ex. The sky was a clear, rich shiny blue. / I knew it was true but I stayed inside.

  12. Bed in SummerBy Robert Louis Stevenson In winter I get up at night And dress by yellow candle-light. In summer, quite the other way, I have to go to bed by day. I have to go to bed and see The birds still hopping on the tree, Or hear the grown-up people's feet Still going past me in the street. And does it not seem hard to you, When all the sky is clear and blue, And I should like so much to play, To have to go to bed by day?
