Everyone would love to write the perfect song or poem. Rhyme can help in these cases. However, using it can be difficult. Here are some tips to help you become a rhyming expert.
Steps
Method 1 of 1: Rhyme
Step 1. Imagine an outline for your poem or song
You can rhyming words in alternate lines, doubles, or in any other way you prefer.
Step 2. Choose the keywords with which you will try to form the rhymes
They are usually words at the end of the line. Check that they follow your pattern.
Step 3. Change the prefix of that word using all the letters of the alphabet
For example, if you search for a word that rhymes with, "fate," start with A and try "aato, bato, cato, Dato, eato, … zato," up to the last letter. Write every word that is fully meaningful "given," "side," "born" …
Step 4. Use other multi-letter prefixes you know
The first letters won't always be the only solution. For example, "side" and "given" are real words that rhyme with fate. Try multi-syllable words like "remembered" or "folded."
Step 5. Choose a word that works with the poem
If none of them work, consider changing your keywords to a synonym. For example, you could substitute "fate" for "fate"
Step 6. If you really are stuck, check a rhyming (search on google)
Advice
- When you look at the alphabet, most of the letters can be followed by an R or an L to form a word. If you wanted to rhyme in English for example and you were looking for something to connect with the word 'cat', you would find 'bat' but also 'brat'; ' fat 'as well as' flat' etc.
- Don't rhyme like this for sport - check that it is relevant to the poem.
- Visit rhyming dictionary
- Try to give the poem or song a meaning. Don't use phrases like, "I'm in love and I got burned too." Instead you could say "I'm in love and now I feel blissful," which would certainly make more sense.
- Pay attention to the number of syllables in each line. You don't have to have lines in which there are more syllables and others with fewer.
- Take a poetry or songwriting class.
- Try not to get stressed out if you don't find the right words. Poetry is a time-consuming art.
- You can buy a rhyming from a bookstore that will certainly be of great help to you. Or alternatively check the site already mentioned.
- Ask for help from friends and family.
- Remember that the poetry and the songs are similar. If you add music to the poem, it will become a song. Likewise, if you remove the melody from a song, you will have a poem.
- Try not to make a word that ends in a strange way or you will never find its rhyme.
Warnings
- Don't spend too much time on a poem or song. Remember that you also have other things to do.
- When engaging in this hobby, don't use too old remnants (e.g. heart, flower, love).
