Rhymes: 4-Ways To Improve Your SongCrafting
4-Rhyming Patterns To Improve Your Song Crafting
When crafting a song, it's a good idea to choose a rhyming pattern early in the process. The rhyming pattern determines the structure of your song. There are many patterns to choose from. The good news is that you may choose one and stick with it throughout the song or you may mix and match. Although there are many more, here are 4-patterns that you may want to try in your next creation.
ABAB
In a four-line verse, an ABAB rhyming pattern has the last word of the first and third lines rhyming and the second and fourth lines rhyming. Here's a sample of ABAB rhyming:
It's a matter of the heart
A feeling deep inside
Like the piercing of a flaming dart
Something you just can't hide
AAAX
This rhyming pattern has the last word of the first three-lines rhyming with the last word not rhyming.
It doesn't need to rhyme
If you give it a little time
It'll all be fine
If that's the way it's meant to be
XAXA
Here, the first and third lines don't rhyme with anything. The last word of the second and fourth lines rhyme.
It's time to take a look inside
This thing we call 'our way'
Is it right or is it wrong
Is it for us to say
AAAA
In this case, the last word of each of the four lines rhyme.
The light grows dim in that special way
That only happens at the end of day
Before the colors fade into gray
In this lonely place at the end of May
Whichever rhyming pattern you choose, experiment. By changing the pattern, you can greatly alter the vibe of a song. Find the one that fits your story.

ReplyDeleteIt's a strange thing, the heart
ReplyDeleteWe can only feel one another when we part
Both thriving for that feeling we had in the start
The past may be dead and our love is forever in a state of art.
