Patterns of Sound

Rhyme is the repetition of identical or similar stressed sound or sounds. Rhyme is, presumably, pleasant in itself; it suggests order; and it also may related to meaning, for it brings two words sharply together, often implying a relationship, as in the now trite dove and love, or perhaps the more imaginative throne and alone.

Objective

Your objective is to write a short poem using a Feminine Rhyme (or double rhyme). Stressed rhyming syllables are followed by identical unstressed syllables (revival-arrival; flatter-batter). A Triple Rhyme is also a kind of feminine rhyme in which identical stressed vowel sounds are followed by two identical unstressed syllables (machinery-scenery; tenderly-slenderly).
