Other Rhyme Schemes

Not all rhyme schemes are alike in poetry. 

There are other ways rhyme can be used within a poem.  Sometimes there is a pattern of rhyming words where the rhyming words skip a line such as in this poem:

I Miss You
I miss you in the morning;
I miss you late at night.
Just to think about you
Is my joy and my delight.

I can't wait to see you;
Please hurry and come back.
You always make me happy;
You have that special knack!

By Joanna Fuchs

In this poem, you can see that the end words on the 2nd and 4th lines of each stanza rhyme giving the poem a unique beat as you read it.
