Writing
                          Let’s write.


                    Poets use rhyme in different ways. Poems are sometimes written in
                    rhymes. Here are two rhyme schemes that are commonly used.

                     Some poems have alternate                  Some poems rhyme in pairs.
                     rhyming lines.                             These are called rhyming couplets.

                     Example:                                   Example:
                     All beings have their homes,               I don’t mind if my home is the smallest,
                     Some are big, some are small,              For in my heart it would be the largest,
                     Attap roofs, or majestic domes,            As long as my family is with me,
                     Better than no homes at all.               I feel safe, happy, and free.
