Internal Rhyme
Internal rhyme is a poetic device where a word within a line rhymes with another word in the same line or in the middle of another line. This technique adds rhythm and musicality to poetry, enhancing its overall flow. For example, in the line "I went to town to buy a gown," "town" and "gown" create an internal rhyme.
Writers often use internal rhyme to create a more engaging reading experience. It can emphasize certain words or themes, making the poem more memorable. This device is commonly found in various forms of poetry, including hip-hop lyrics and children's nursery rhymes.
