Natural Speech Pattern

Rhymes

Rhymes should sound natural, not forced — as if speaking, not composing a poem.

Write a sentence as you would normally say it — then reformulate to rhyme without changing word order.

Forced rhymes break the illusion of authenticity. Listeners subconsciously know when a rhyme is shoehorned.

Bad: 'I went to the store / and bought a pear.' Good: The rhyme comes naturally from the thought.
