Rhyme Scheme
• At the edge of each line, a letter is given that corresponds to the rhyming sound of the line's final word. The pattern of letters, as you follow them down the edge of the page, is called the rhyme scheme of the poem. Rhyme schemes, especially ones that repeat (as this one does), are often written in the following form: a b a b c d e c d e.

Iambic pentameter An iamb is a combination of stressed and unstressed syllables. Say the words between, mature, and instead. These are iambs. In poetry, repeated rhythmic units are called “feet.” An iamb is a kind of foot.• Pentameter means that the foot is repeated five times. It has the
Greek root penta-, which means five. (Think of a pentagon; it has five sides.)
• Now put the two terms together: iambic pentameter is a line of poetry with five iambs in it. It has this rhythm:
• da DUM / da DUM / da DUM / da DUM / da DUM
• A lit-/ le more / than kin / and less / than kind. • I wake to sleep and take my waking slow
