The placement of rhymes in the middle of lines is what distinguishes internal rhymes from end rhymes , in which rhyming words occur at the ends of lines.
Internal rhyme is also sometimes referred to as "middle rhyme. Internal Rhyme Within a Single Line vs. Multiple Lines Internal rhyme can occur within a single line of poetry, or it can be spread across multiple lines.
As a single line: I drove myself to the lake and dove into the water. Or as two separate lines: I drove myself to the lake and dove into the water. Internal Rhyme and Line Breaks Since internal rhyme is defined by the position the rhymes occupy within the line of verse, whether a line contains internal rhyme depends in large part upon where line breaks are placed.
For instance, the lines I drove myself to the lake and dove into the water are an example of internal rhyme because the rhyming words are not followed by line breaks.
However, the lines can be easily turned into examples of end rhyme by changing the placement of the line breaks, so that the lines reads: Late Sunday afternoon. Internal Rhyme vs. End Rhyme Internal rhyme is often described as being subtler than end rhyme. This subtlety occurs for two related reasons: The last word of every line of poem is naturally emphasized: As noted just above in the discussion of internal rhyme and line breaks, end rhymes receive an automatic emphasis simply by virtue of appearing at the end of lines.
Internal rhymes are less emphasized, and might not even be explicitly noticed even as they add to the musicality of a line. In poetry with a meter, end rhymes are consistent while internal rhymes are not: When a poem has a meter, every line contains syllables according to a set pattern. That means that end rhymes appear at consistent places within that pattern. As a result, end rhymes offer a strong rhythmic feeling to the poem. Because internal rhymes can occur anywhere within a line other than at the end , they often don't appear as part of a consistent pattern.
As a result, once again, even as they add musicality and rhythm to a line, they do so in a way that is harder to explicitly notice. Types of Rhymes Used to Make Internal Rhymes Most people, when they think about what constitutes a rhyme, are actually thinking about just one type of rhyme in particular: perfect rhyme. An example of internal pararhyme would be an internal rhyme in which all the consonants in two or more words are the same, as in "As the l ea v e s fall I think of past l o v e s.

What is the difference between end rhyme and internal rhyme? Patrick H. Jul 25, The difference between end rhyme and internal rhyme is where the rhyming words are placed. Explanation: In end rhyme, the rhyming words are placed at the end of two consecutive sentences.
For example: There once was a man who wasn't very smart. Here you can see more than one variation of internal rhyme pattern. Once upon a midnight dreary , while I pondered, weak and weary , While I nodded, nearly napping , suddenly there came a tapping , As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December ; And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
