What is ab ab rhyme scheme?

Answer 1

The AB, AB rhyme scheme is usually used in sonnets, the kind of poetry form William Shakespeare used in many of his works like Romeo and Juliet, or Macbeth.

AB, AB are words that rhyme every other line, where A rhymes with A, and B with B. The form of AB AB is, as said, in sonnets, and is usually followed with CD, CD, EF, EF, and GG.

Like so:

The cat and the dog are at play, (A)

In the sun shining down from the sky. (B)

They will stay outdoors all day, (A)

For the weather is nice and dry. (B) .......... Both A's rhyme, Both B's rhyme.

Says the cat to the dog with a smile, (C)

"Try to catch me if you can!" (D)

So the dog chased the cat for a while, (C)

And together they played and they ran. (D) .......... Both C's rhyme, Both D's rhyme.

The dog caught the cat by the tail, (E)

And grinned, then laughed with delight. (F)

The cat, with a fright, made a wail, (E)

Then ran away with all his might. (F) .......... Both E's rhyme, Both F's rhyme.

Soon neither of them were in the mood, (G)

So they stopped their game to eat food. (G) .......... The last two lines, G, both rhyme.

A must rhyme with only A.

B must rhyme with only B.

C must rhyme with only C.

D must rhyme with only D.

E must rhyme with only E.

F must rhyme with only F.

G will rhyme with itself, for there are only 2 lines to rhyme on G.

Answer 2

An ab rhyme scheme is a rhyme scheme in a poem or piece of writing. The word at the end of the first line will rhyme with words at the end of the third, fifth, seventh (and every odd number) line. The word at the end of the second line will rhyme with the word at the end of every even line (fourth, sixth etc). However, the abab is usually only present for the first four lines. thereafter poems often adopt cdcd. This is most often seen in sonnets.

For example:

Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion's paws (a)

and make the earth devour her own sweet brood (b)

pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws (a)

and burn the long-liv'd phoenix in her blood (b)

paws rhymes with jaws, and brood rhymes with blood

Answer 3

I have this dog (a)

Along with with ten others (b)

and now I want a frog (a)

but they don't have mothers (b)
