From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In poetry, internal rhyme, or middle rhyme, is rhyme which occurs within a single line of verse.


True in the game, as long as blood is blue in my veins
I pour my Heineken brew to my deceased crew on memory lane
-Nas


My songs can make you cry, take you by surprise at the same time
Can make you dry your eyes with the same rhyme
The years that I've wasted are nothing to the tears that I've tasted
I give sight to the blind, my insight's through the mind
I exercise my right to express when I feel it's time
My destiny's to rest at ease until I'm impressed and pleased
With my progress I'm on a quest to seize all, my own label to call
How to cope with the stress and hope for the best instead of mope and depressed
Always groping a mess of flying over the nest to selling dope with the rest
You critics want to criticize but couldn't visualize individuals lives through a criminal's eyes
You can search but you'll never find, you can try to rewind time
But in your hearts and your minds we will never die,
We are forever alive and we continue growing, one day at a time
-Eminem


The British feel these latest dealings verge on immorality.
The element of precedent imperils our neutrality.
We're rather vexed, your giving extraterritoriality.
We must insist you offer this to every nationality!
-Stephen Sondheim


Genocide resynthesize to violence, makes it hard to sympathize
Hardened,
Individuals whose feelings is miniscule soon become criminals
if you dark-skinned
And you was raised in a project apartment
Public Aid made it that your father couldn't stay
He had to part then,
left with only a mother the family structure suffers
He will soon cling to hustlers, as his guardians
-Lupe Fiasco


The best oh yes I guess suggest the rest should fess
Don’t mess or test your highness
Unless you just address with best finesse
And bless the paragraph I manifest
-Big Daddy Kane


I met a hermit named Kermit McDermott

with a learner's permit, curb swervin in a purple Suburban Slurpin an orange sherbert Eatin a turnip with the words "Dirty Dirty" written in cursive on his Burberry turban

-Lyrics Born


the grains beyond age, the dark veins of her mother
-Dylan Thomas


I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers
-Percy Bysshe Shelley


Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary.
-Edgar Allan Poe
