What does Double Rhyme really mean?

Sure, I can definitely help you with that! So, "Double Rhyme" is a term used in poetry and music. It refers to a kind of rhyme where not only the last syllable of a word rhymes, but also the second-to-last syllable. It's like a super special kind of rhyme that happens when two words have matching sounds at the end and also in the middle. It's just like when you find two matching puzzle pieces that fit perfectly together - they just go hand in hand!

For example, let's look at the words "napping" and "happening." Do you notice how the ending sounds of both words (the "ing" part) rhyme, but also the second-to-last syllable is the same ("ap")? That's a double rhyme! It's like a little hidden treasure when you're reading or listening to a poem or song.

Sometimes, double rhymes can also be called "feminine" or "two-syllable" rhymes, so don't get confused if you hear those terms too. It's just another way of saying the same thing! It's like having two nicknames for the same person - they both mean the same thing, they're just different ways of saying it.

I hope that helped you understand the concept of "Double Rhyme" a little better! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Learning about poetry and music can be lots of fun once you get the hang of it!
