Rhyme

Definition: Multiple words with the same sounding ending, usually located at the end of sentences. The rhyming words typically consist of the same number of syllables.

Example: Acceptance of darkness
The heart of the sun
The battle is over
The people have won.

Aether of sunlight
Dust of the stars
Eyes against nothing
Know nothing is far.

Blue opalescence
That holds in the night
Vanish forever
In infinite light.

Eyes of the heavens
Hand of the sun
The old life is over
A new has begun.
Significance: Poets pair words that rhyme in order to make the poem flow and sound better. I like them, they really test your vocabulary.
