Rhyme
Poetic Device
Rhyme gives poems a musical rhythm, helping with memorization and recitation.

Poets use rhyme to add a lyrical effect to their verses.
Matching Sounds
The matching sounds often occur at the end of lines and involve the last syllable.

In the poem, the rhyme comes at end of each line with 'sky' and 'high.'
Rhyme Varieties
Rhymes can be perfect, slant or internal, depending on sound and placement.

Slant rhyme uses similar but not identical sounds, like 'hold' and 'bald.'
