Alright, so let's talk about beginning rhyme. This is a concept in poetry and music that has to do with the sounds at the beginning of words. When words at the beginning of two or more lines in a poem or lyrics in a song sound the same, that's called beginning rhyme. It's kind of like a little game where you try to make words start with the same sound to create a pattern in the writing.

Let's say you have a poem that starts like this: "The sun is shining so bright, / It brings a feeling of delight." See how the first words, "sun" and "shining," both start with the "s" sound? That's an example of beginning rhyme. It's like having a secret code or a little puzzle for your ears to solve.

This can help bring attention to certain words or create a rhythm in the writing. It's a fun way for poets and songwriters to play with language and add some extra flair to their work. So, the next time you're reading a poem or listening to your favorite song, see if you can spot the beginning rhyme! It's like a little treasure hunt for your ears.
