STEP YOUR GAME UP! Chapter 5: Advanced Rhyming
Rhyme schemes play an integral part in writing efficiently and sounding smooth. However, there are an endless amount of ways to rhyme and form your rhyme schemes. I will teach you the groundworks of how to look at rhyme schemes and how to juggle around different rhyme patterns to sound brilliant. In addition, this chapter will cover various rhyme schemes, styles and staying on beat with these schemes.
What Exactly Is A Rhyme Scheme?
A rhyme scheme is the way you place your rhymes in sequence. The scheme CAN or HELP dictate the way your verse rhymes. However, if the groundworks of your rhyme scheme is not formed correctly it can make the flow of your lyrics sound awkward.
Now before we start, I want to clear one thing up, JUST BECAUSE it’s a rhyme scheme does not mean it has to follow a CONSISTENT or SPECIFIC pattern. Rhyme schemes as a whole are based upon chemistry and being able to maintain momentum in your rhyming. The chemistry being how you’re able to mesh different rhyme patterns together and the momentum being that you’re able to make your rhyming sound fluent despite you using different rhyming patterns. In essence the groundworks of a rhyme scheme ARE a rhyming pattern, but whether or not your rhyming pattern follows the same syllables is up to you.
