 RHYME - LoveToKnow Article on RHYME
This history is composed in Latin verses, all of which rhyme in the centre.
In the heyday of Elizabethan literature a serious attempt was made in England to reject rhyme altogether, and to return to the quantitative measures of the ancients.
It was not until the invention of Blank Verse (q.v.) that rhyme found a modern rival, and in spite of the successes of this instrument rhyme has held its own, at all events for nondramatic verse, in the principal literature of Europe.

 Q&L/Musings Guest Essay
More importantly, I'd like to show that for the poet the particular uses of rhyme come not so much from historical determinants but from the demands of the genre the poet is working in.
To illustrate the relationship between the genre and rhyme, I am doing to draw on two of my long dramatic poems, a meditation, and a short narrative.
What I'd like to do in this essay is focus on rhyme and show that it is not only compatible with idiomatic diction but can be an integral part of the dramatic poem whose essence is idiomatic speech.

 The UVic Writer's Guide: Rhyme
A perfect rhyme is one in which the two sounds correspond exactly ("by hook or by crook").
Note, however, that differences in dialect and the evolution of the language make some rhymes more or less perfect over time; thus in the seventeenth century "prove" and "love, "brazen" and "reason" were perfect rhymes.
A distinction is also made between masculine rhyme, in which only one syllable rhymes ("loud" and "proud"), and feminine rhyme, in which the rhyme extends over more than one syllable, both stressed and unstressed ("cooking" and "looking").

 Rhyme in Spanish Poetry
Perfect rhyme (rima perfecta or rima consonante) in Spanish poetry is basically the same type of rhyme we are familiar with in English poetry and song, where the vowels as well as the consonants “rhyme” or sound identical for groups of words.
Masculine rhyme (rima masculina): This is one-syllable rhyme; that is, the rhyme words are stressed on the last syllable and thus the rhyme involves only the last vowel and any semi-vowel and/or consonant occurring thereafter.
For example, in many poems each stanza will have the same rhyme scheme: that is, new rhymes may appear in each stanza, but each stanza follows the same pattern as the first one.
