Rhyming Scheme in Poetry Verse Writing

There are many different rhyming schemes and forms and some even have their own names, like sonnet, limerick and clerihew but let's leave all the clever stuff to skilled rhymesters, who do not need to be reading this.

**

It has been said that free verse (non rhyming) favors the serious while rhymes are suited to humor or light material.

** SO WITHOUT MORE A DO **

**

The rhyming scheme I use for card verses
(and would recommend even to clever clogs') is

A any word
B rhyming word
C any word
B rhyming word

because it gives you the freedom to put all the
hard-to-rhyme bits in the first and third lines

Birthday Wishes Wording

Let's start with a Wedding Day (Engagement) verse, chosen at random:

May this day of your Wedding (or Engagement)
Be filled with love and laughter
And may all your days ahead
Be happy ever after

The simplest way to personalise it, is merely to add the recipients' names in the first line :-

Maureen and Bill, may your wedding day
Be filled with love and laughter
And may all your days ahead
Be happy ever after

Or you could 'steal' the rhyming words of "laughter"
and "after" but, otherwise, completely rewrite the verse
in your own style, for example

Once upon a time, (you two met) (you met your Prince / Shining Knight)
And shared much love and laughter
May your marriage be a fairy tale
Happy Ever After

(The "Happy Ever After" ending inspired the introduction "Once upon a time" and then to the fairy tale idea.) With a little amendment this verse can also be an Anniversary verse :-

Once upon a time, you met
And shared much love and laughter
You're (five) years into your fairy tale
Living happy ever after

Or an engagement verse by changing the third line to:-
May your engagement continue the fairy tale

The fairy tale theme can also be used on the card front

You could also use the rhyming words in a completely
different verse category, in this case, a work colleague
get well card ;-

We're sorry you're feeling poorly, Bill
The (factory's) empty of your laughter
So get yerself well cos we miss you mate
You're a much sought-after grafter

or a Christmas card :-

May your Christmas be very merry
Full of fun and laughter
And may your New Year be the happiest
And stay that way thereafter

Now I'm not saying that 'laughter' and 'after' are classic rhymes...there are only 5 words that rhyme (or 6 if you include BAFTA) but it shows what can be done with even this restrictive sound
