External Rhyme

The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Mudville Nine that day;

The score stood four to two, with but one inning more to play,

And then when Cooney died at first, and Barrows did the same,

A sickly silence fell upon the patrons of the game.

differences

by:Raegan Tucker

A simile is a type of metaphor in which the comparison is made with the use of the word like or its equivalent:

Metaphor is the broader term. In a literary sense metaphor is a rhetorical device that transfers the sense or aspects of one word to another. For example:

Haiku poems date from 9th century Japan to the present day. Haiku is more than a type of poem; it is a way of looking at the physical world and seeing something deeper, like the very nature of existence.

Assonance takes place when two or more words close to one another repeat the same vowel sound but start with different consonant sounds.

Haiku

Harken

Lying silently

White blankets cover the ground

Serene and white snow

Buy it at the store

Or wait till Halloween night.

Internal Rhyming

a poem which its middle and end words rhyme with each other

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,

As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door…..

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December;

And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.

Eagerly I wished the morrow; – vainly I had sought to borrow

From my books surcease of sorrow – sorrow for the lost Lenore…

(The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe)
