At first I thought rhyme was when two words make the same sounds, but learned that I was correct.An example of a poem with end rhyme is below. The title is "How was your day?", and the author is Dreamer. The rhyme scheme is aa,bb,aa,cc,d,e,f. I am not sure what I was graded on my poetry pre-test, but I want to earn at least an at grade level on my poetry post-test.
We are friends from far away.
When we talk we always have something to say.
Our lives so different yet the same.
Every night we play the game.
We talk of families and about our day.
I always wonder if there's more to say.
Could it have been different for you and I?
Or was fate decided before we could have tried?
For now we play our parts, that's all that's left;
Never knowing if our hearts would have met.
Two people from far away, always asking, "How was your day?".

Imagery
At first, I thought imagery was use of words to create an image, but this was wrong. Actually, imagery is language that appeals to the five senses. I also learned about figurative language. I used to think figurative language was things like idioms, personifications and metaphors, but I learned that figurative language is a word or phrase that describes one thing in terms of another and is not meant to be understood on a literal level. The three main types of figurative language are similes, metaphors, and personification.
