Rhyme Scheme
Definition:
The rhyme scheme is the practice of rhyming words placed at the end of the lines in the prose/ poetry. Rhyme scheme refers to the order in which particular words rhyme. If the alternate words rhyme, it is an “a-b-a-b” rhyme scheme, which means “a” is the rhyme for the lines 1 and 3 and “b” is the rhyme affected in the lines 2 and 4.
Example:
Roses are red (a)
Violets are blue (b)
Beautiful they all may be (c)
But I love you (b)
The above is an “a-b-c-b” rhyme scheme.

What is the effect of rhyme scheming on poems/songs? How does it help convey/convince the readers/listeners understand or connect with the message?
It is now early morning,
And getting quite late.
Desire to sleep is forming,
Poetry, grr, hate.
I'm studying for English. (a)
It's not too bad. (b)
I wanted to contribute, (c)
and this is all I had. (b)
I have this dog (a)
Along with with ten others (b)
and now I want a frog (a)
but they don't have mothers (b)
I have a mom(a) I have a dad(b) My dog died(c) That is sad(b) This is an "a-b-c-b" rhyme.
I have a dog (a) I have a cat (b) I have a log (a) And that is that (b)
thats a rhyme sceme. if its like ...dog (a) ...cat (b)... bone (c)... yarn (d)... hog (a)
you can go from a-z but you only use letters when you are purposely repeating the rhyme scheme.
please provide with some other example
All the time while you're looking away - a
There are things you can do man - b
there's things you can say - a
To the ones you're with - c
With who you're spending your today - a
Get your gaze off tomorrow - d
And let it come what may - a
Its all to do with rhyming. You start again with the A B C e.c.t in the new verse/ stanza. If you know how to rhyme, then its pretty easy.
but why is a rhyming scheme
because its supposed to be.
