Rhyme scheme

Step-by-step support for implementing rhyme

Step 1: Content first

• Write 4-6 lines about a topic that matters to you.
• Don't worry about rhymes yet.
• Say what you want to express!
• Example:
  I feel like something's changing
  Everything's moving so fast
  I can't hold on
  But I want to

Step 2: Breaks

• Break your lines into smaller parts and create a rhythm.
• Think about thematically sound breaks.
• Shorten or rearrange if needed.
• Example:
  I feel like something's changing / everything's too fast
  I can't hold on / to the moments that last

Step 3: Rhyme scheme

• Choose one of the rhyme schemes below.
• Rewrite your lines so that the endings rhyme.
• Use synonyms, change the word order or look up rhyming words.
• Example:
  I feel like something's changing (A)
  The world is rearranging (A)
  I can't hold on, I try (B)
  But moments pass me by (B)
