Rawk: Rhyme Time

Rawk-A-Tiers Rhyme Time hosted by Rawk-A-Tiers on Goodreads.

I was in doubt if I should join this challenge as I just had no clue. But it seems straight forward and I will try to make a rhyme.

Many people are taught from an early age what a rhyme is. Rhymes surround us every day in poetry, children's books, nursery rhymes, and song lyrics. The rhyme happens when two words have a sound that is very similar. Most of the time rhyming words are arranged in a rhythmic pattern that allows the writer or speaker to fall into a consistent beat that captivates readers and listeners and portrays a message of some sort.

A “rhyme scheme” is the term used for describing the pattern of end rhymes in a poem. Each new sound at the end of a line is given a letter, starting with “A,” then “B,” and so on. If an end sound repeats the end sound of an earlier line, it gets the same letter as the earlier line.

☯ Your challenge is to build a rhyming chain using books you've read this quarter. The chain does not need to create a story or sentence, only a rhyme of "sound alike words."

☯ To complete the rhyme, you may use the title, the author's name (first or last), character names (main or supporting), or the series title.

☯ You must include the selected rhyme scheme and book completed dates in your post.

☯ The completion dates on your books must appear in the same order as the rhyme scheme you select.
