The poem "Daily" by Naomi Shihab Nye follows an irregular rhyme scheme, with occasional rhymes and slant rhymes throughout the poem rather than a consistent pattern.

Otway Curry has written:

'The lore of the past, a poem' -- subject(s): Occasional verse

The rhyme scheme in Wilfred Owen's poem "Disabled" varies throughout the poem. It is predominantly composed in a free verse style, with occasional rhyming couplets and alternating rhyme patterns, such as ABAB or AABB. Owen's use of varied rhyme schemes mirrors the fragmented and disjointed experiences of the disabled soldier in the poem.

The opposite of occasional is frequent.

An Occasional Dream was created in 1969.
