Please help! What's a Rhyme Scheme?

So a rhyme scheme is kind of the way the words are rhymed and grouped through the last word

best way to understand is through and actual ex.

I will parenthesize the words and give the rhyme scheme

---------------------------------------------

Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.

Fire and Ice by Robert Frost

Some say the world will end in (fire),-----> A(since it' the first/A)

Some say in( ice.) -----> B ( since it doesn't rhyme with "fire" so b in general is the second/B)

From what I've tasted of ( desire)-----> A ( rhymes with "fire " so it must be the same as the first)

I hold with those who favor( fire.)----> A (same word)

But if it had to perish (twice,)----> B (rhymes with " ice " which is letter B)

I think I know enough of (hate)---- > C ( doesn't rhyme with A - "fire " nor B- "ice" , so its the third= C)

To say that for destruction (ice)----> B (rhymes with 'ice")

Is also (great)-----> C (rhymes with "hate" which is C / the third)

And would ( suffice. )----> B (rhymes with Ice once again)

At the end you can see a pattern of ( A-B-A-A-B-C-B-C-B)

that is the rhyme scheme :)

Hope this helps O___O

A rhyme scheme is the pattern of rhyme between lines of a poem or song. It is usually referred to by using letters to indicate which lines rhyme; lines designated with the same letter all rhyme with each other. In other words, it is the pattern of end rhymes or lines.
