Today, we are going to start a new series. We are going to talk about poetry. After all, it is a type of literature, even though it is not my favorite type of literature.
Before we can go any further, we have to learn the basic structure of a poem.
Verse- One line of poetry

Now, on to rhyming.
There are two types of rhymes: Internal and external.
External rhymes are easier to understand because they always rhyme at the end of the verse.
Example:
I had a dog.
He sat on a log.
The last word of each verse rhymes.
Internal rhymes rhyme on the inside of a poem.
Example:
My dog was on a log.
A word in the verse rhymes with the end word.
Next month, we will learn about rhyming patterns. Which type of rhyming do you like better: internal or external?
