Rhyming today is seriously confused with alliteration. Alliteration is where a certain sound repeats more than twice in the same sentence or paragraph the words do not need the same endings to be called alliteration just the same sound is required.
Rhyming however to be exact rhyming rhyming requires words with the same spelling at the end
Like
There's a mat
On the mat was a hat
Pick up the hat there's a rat
It sees a bat
And the shrieking wakes up the cat.
This is the easiest way of rhyming and I have heard hundreds of movies teaching people how to rhyme wrong.
C. S. Lewis got it right with Continuous rhyming but rhyming twice in one line
The correct version of the Narnian prophecy
Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight, (bought right and sight are spelled ght at the end therefore they rhyme.)
Now the next line doesn't have a single rhyme in it below
At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more (this alliteration the echoing o sound throhghout the entire sentence)
When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death, (Another rhyme as I said before bat and rat have very different beginnings but they both end in at so do teeth and death end in th letters.)
Again there is no rhyming in the next line below
And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again the s and a sounds echo throughout the sentence double alliteration.
C. S. Lewis's straight rhyme
When Adam's flesh and Adam's bone
Sits at Cair Paravel in throne,
The evil time will be over and done( contrary to what Susan says in the movie it does end in a proper rhyme as all the last words end in the letters one)
And I just did an accidentally rhyme in () cause I don't feel like separating the letters.
Now a haiku actually has rhyming every other line
Rhyme once
Skip
Rhyme Again
Skip.
I am furious that there are so many people teaching the wrong way to rhyme.
