Or, mayhap it is now time
To cross the boundaries with my rhyme...

* broken rhyme: Rhyme using more than one word:

                  But-oh! ye lords of ladies intellectual,
                  Inform us truly, have they not hen-peck'd you all?

Or rhyme in which one word is broken over the line end:

          I caught this morning morning's minion, king-
          Dom of daylight's dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon,          in his riding
          Of the rolling level underneath him steady air, and striding
          High there, how he rung upon the rein of a wimpling wing…

    * linked rhyme: Rhyme that depends on completing the rhyme sound by enjambment over the line end:

                  But what black Boreas wrecked her? He
                  Came equipped, deadly-electric,

    * apocopated rhyme: Rhyming a line end with a penultimate syllable:

                  A poem should be wordless
                  As the flight of birds.
