End-rhymed for Dummies

Hey there! So, "end-rhymed" is a term we use in poetry, especially when we're talking about the way a poem's lines end. When we're talking about end-rhymed, we're referring to the way the last words in the lines of a poem sound alike. So, for example, if we have a poem where the last words in some of the lines rhyme with each other, then we would say that the poem is end-rhymed. It's kind of like when two words end with the same sound, like "cat" and "hat" - they rhyme because they end with the same sound. In a poem, when the last words in the lines rhyme like that, it creates a sense of rhythm and musicality. It's like a little surprise at the end of each line that makes the poem sound really nice when you read it out loud. It's just one of the many cool ways we can play with words in poetry! So, does that make sense? Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with! Example:

Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, That I shall say good night till it be morrow.

In this famous excerpt from William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," the words "sorrow" and "morrow" rhyme at the end of the lines, so we can say that this is an end-rhymed passage.
