Simple Rhyme / ABCB


Writing a poem with a simple rhyme scheme can be lots of fun, especially when trying to rhyme with tricky words like 'queen' and 'play', the two having so few words to rhyme with. I wrote "Every Girl's a Princess" for my niece's granddaughter, Khloe.


Every Girl's a Princess

Every girl's a princess,
don’t rush to be a queen.
There is time for many things
and many in between.

For now my little princess,
let’s play as girls will play,
there is time to be a queen,
but surely not today. 




RHYME SCHEME: The rhyme scheme of a poem is most easily described with an example: ABAB means that the first line of a poem rhymes with the third line and the second line rhymes with the fourth.

Your turn. Choose a simple rhyme scheme like ABCB or ABAB and write your own poem.

Enjoy
