Chat with our AI personalities
Provided that the metre is the same, the lines are referred to as a 'couplet'.
Technically, yes! It is called a sound-rhyme. The spelling doesn't rhyme, but the sound does. It is acceptable in poetry with rhyme scheme.
All lines are not the same length in a limerick poem. To be a limerick, the first, second, and fifth lines have three metrical feet and lines three and four have two metrical feet. Also, the endings of lines one, two, and five rhyme, and the endings of lines three and four rhyme.
It isn't a perfect rhyme, in other words, not all the syllables rhyme, but it is close enough to pass as a rhyme.
You can measure or indicate the rhyme scheme of a poem using the lines of the poems which are represented by numbers such as AABB or ABABA.
