A rhyme is repetition of words that sound similar. You can group rhyming words such as: cook, book, look, etc. In a poetry, It would be a sentence followed by another with two words that rhyme, occurring at the end of the sentences.
Ex. I think of you often in the fondest way;
I cherish you more than I ever could say.

ViviUsing rhyme in poetry gives a poem a repetitive quality by sound without repeating a line or phrase in a poem. The use of rhyme allows poetry to gain a songlike quality. Rhyme is often used in children's poetry to make the poems easier to remember. In poetry this memory concept is very important as it allows the reader to have a connection to a poem via their memory rather than just by reading the words on the page alone. It also enhances the mood (happy sad etc.)
They are mean to make something stand out, the point of poetry is fluency, voice!
Here is a quick on the spot poem I wrote for examples!
The quick bird,
does fly away,
will he come again,
some other day?
The sun will set,
soon all will be dark,
should I fret,
the safety of the quick bird?
It makes it flow in a rhythmic way, so that things can stand out, or flow along smoothly, to get a mood or tone across to the reader. Poetry is not normal writing, if it was, my poem would be like so:
Th quick bird flies away, and I wonder if he will come back ever again. But soon the sun will set, and dark will fall. Hmm...I wonder. Should I fret for the safety of this quick bird or not?
It doesn't rhyme much at all, does it? See, it makes it stand out, each line have a different meaning! I hope I helped you, this is the extent I can help you on this part in poetry, but if you have more questions of poetry, I suggest you ask me!
The effect of rhyme, like rhythm, is to aid memory. Real poetry can be recited at length because its rhyme and rhythm make it possible for ordinary people to memorize it. No one can recite modern "poetry" beyond a phrase or two, not even its authors, because since it doesn't rhyme and it has no rhythm, no one can remember it.
