The Different Rhyming Structures used in Destiny's Dreams

ABCB - Used in Book 1: I Dream of Being a Doctor

Page 7 to 20 the ABCB rhyme scheme has been used. This is also known as "enclosed rhyme" or "sandwich rhyme," is a poetic structure where the second and fourth lines rhyme with each other (B), while the first and third lines do not rhyme but may share a rhyme with each other (A) or have different rhymes altogether (A and C).This is also known as a Ballad Quatrain.

The ABCB rhyme scheme offers poets a bit more flexibility in their writing compared to more rigid schemes like AABB or ABAB. It allows for variation while still maintaining a balanced and harmonious structure. This pattern can create a sense of resolution and completeness, as the second and fourth lines often echo or reinforce each other's themes or ideas, while the first and third lines introduce and develop them.

This story has been composed using a mixture of Perfect and Slant Rhymes.

Perfect Rhymes are where both words share the exact assonance and number of syllables. Slant Rhymes are where a rhyme formed by words with similar, but not identical, assonance and/or the number of syllables.

This structure of thus book is also referred to as a quatrain, which is a type of stanza, or a complete poem, consisting of four lines.

AABB - Used in Book 2: I Dream of Being a Firefighter

Page 7 to 20 the AABB rhyme scheme has been used. This is also known as "couplet rhyme," is a poetic form characterised by pairs of lines that rhyme with each other. In this structure, the first two lines (A) rhyme with each other, and the second two lines (B) also rhyme with each other. Couplets are often used in poetry to convey a concise thought, express a complete idea, or add emphasis to a particular point. They can also be found in longer poems, where they may serve to punctuate or summarise key themes or ideas.

This rhyme structure often creates a sense of rhythm and closure within the poem, as each pair of lines concludes with a satisfying rhyme. It's commonly used in limericks, nursery rhymes, and other light or humorous poetry.
