At first, I thought rhyme was something that sounds the same, but I learned that irony is something that is expected turns out to be different.

An example of a poem with end rhyme is below. The title Nature, and the author is Michael Charlson and The rhyme scheme is ABAB.
On my poetry pretest, I was below grade-level. On my posttest, I hope that I will be far above grade-level.




"Nature is mighty. Nature is strong. Nature is usually always right. Nature is rarely ever wrong."
