English rhymes are divided into male rhymes and female rhymes.
If only one syllable rhymes, it is called rhyme, as white and light, and tonight is pleasant.
If there are more than two syllables that rhyme, they are called vowels, such as turtle and furtile, maliciously and happily.
On the rhyme of English poetry;
Internal rhyme: several rhyming words appear in one line.
Ending rhyme: The last word of each line rhymes.
There are three most commonly used rhymes:
1. alliteration: Consonants, especially those at the beginning of words or syllables, are the same. For example:
It's foggy when it's mild and cold when it's sunny.
It must be noted that alliteration focuses on the rhyme of consonants, rather than the same spelling, such as:
Dirty and photos are alliterations, because they both pronounce "F", while great and ginger both start with "G", but they are not alliterations because of their different pronunciations.
2. Rhyme: rhyming methods with the same vowels but different consonants, such as late and make, mad and hat.
3. Consonant: The last consonant of a syllable or keyword rhyme. For example:
A huge monster drifted out all night.
In addition to the above three main rhyming methods, there is also a special rhyming method called visual rhyme. It refers to some words that seem to rhyme, but actually don't rhyme. For example: love and touch, wind and soul, branches and cough.
Mastering the basic rules of English poetry rhyme is helpful to understand poetry and practice writing poetry by yourself.
Although poetry seems to be getting farther and farther away from our life, we should still keep our life a little poetic.
