What are some examples of internal rhyme?
February 20th, 2023
so this a poem, where the internal rhyme is:-
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
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;
Only this, and nothing more.”
In this one excerpt, you can see internal rhyme:
Within one line with “napping” and “tapping”
Internal rhyme between two lines with “napping” and “rapping”
Internal rhyme between the last word of one line and a word in the middle of the following line with “tapping” and “rapping”
