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.
