| 释义 | rhyme (once / 428 pages) nv A rhyme is when the ending sounds of two words sound alike — like "mouse" and "house" or "complain" and "sustain." If you have a knack for rhyme, you might have a bright future as a poet. “True wit is nature to advantage dress'd; / What oft was thought, but ne'er so well express'd”: lines of rhyme written by English poet Alexander Pope. The way “dress’d” and “express’d” sound, that’s rhyme. Rhyme shares the same Latin root as rhythm, and poetry that rhymes does have a rhythm to it, like in a song. Rhyme is a noun for similar sounds or a poem that uses rhyme, and it’s also a verb, like saying, “What rhymes with orange?” WORD FAMILYrhyme: rhymed, rhymeless, rhymer, rhymes, rhymester, rhyming+/rhymed: unrhymed/rhymer: rhymers/rhymester: rhymesters/rhyming: rhymingly USAGE EXAMPLESYour poem isn’t required to rhyme, but in the 14 previous times we did this contest, almost all the inking entries did.
