Rhymed poems are works of poetry that have rhyming vowel sounds at certain moments. There's a few different types of rhymed poems including: Perfect Rhyme, Slant Rhyme and End Rhymes. A Perfect Rhyme is when both words have the same assonance (rhyming vowel sounds) and number of syllables. A Slant Rhyme is formed when words have a similar assonance and/or number of syllables. Those are sometimes called a near rhyme. An End Rhyme occurs with the final words on two lines of poetry. It doesn't matter if the rhyme is masculine ("helLO" and "beLOW") or feminine ("MANuAL" and "ANuAL").
There's four types of rhyme schemes: ABAB, ABCB, AABBA and AABB. The ABAB rhyme scheme is when the first and third line rhyme with each other and the second and fourth line rhyme. Shakespear's sonnets are some great examples of that scheme. AABBA is when there's one rhyme on the first, second, and fifth lines and a second rhyme on the third and fourth lines. AABB rhyme scheme is when each pair of lines rhyme with each other.
When writing my poetry and song lyrics, I use both ABAB and AABB rhyme schemes the most. It's something I incorporate into my writing on a regular basis. It's become apart of my style when I began writing everyday. They're also two of the styles I incorporate with chain rhymes: continuing a rhyme scheme from one stanza to another.
