Hi all I am trying to get the definitions sorted out ... Scheme is a kind of figure of speech Repetition is a type of scheme Rhyme is a type of repetition Masculine/strong is a type of rhyme so... cna couplets, triplets, blank verse and free verse be found only in masculine rhymes or in any of the other rhymes (alliteration, assonance, femimine etc..) whew hope that makes sense Clara in Miami

I just typed a response and it got lost in cyber space, so here goes trying again.
Masculine rhyme is an end rhyme where the rhyming sound is on the last syllable of the line.
Feminine rhyme is an end rhyme where the rhyming sound is on the second to last syllable of the line.
Couplets are 2 lines that are next to each other and rhyme pair wise.
Triplets are 3 lines next to each other that rhyme.
They can rhyme with masculine or feminine rhymes, but obviously not with both.
Blank verse as no rhyme, but regular meter. Free verse tends to have neither rhyme nor regular meter restrictions.
The other rhymes: alliteration, assonance, consonance are not end rhymes.
Does that answer your question?
