What's the Rhyme Scheme?

read the poems below and analyse what their rhyme scheme is.

My Penmanship is Pretty Bad

My penmanship is pretty bad.

My printing’s plainly awful.

In truth, my writing looks so sad

it ought to be unlawful.

Mr. Brown the Circus Clown

Mr. Brown, the circus clown

puts his clothes on upside down.

He wears his hat upon his toes

and socks and shoes upon his nose.

All My Great Excuses

I started on my homework

but my pen ran out of ink.

My hamster ate my homework.

My computer’s on the blink.

ABAB

AABB

I have to write a poem for class

But don't think I'll succeed,

I know I don't know all the words

That I am going to need.

I cannot quite imagine

How my poem's supposed to be —

I've got a sinking feeling

I'm not good at poetry.

My poem must have a meter*

And it also has to rhyme,

It's due tomorrow morning…

How I wish I had more time!

 

I do not think that I can write

A poem the way I should —

But look…this is a poem right here,

And it is pretty good.

*rhythm

Please don’t read this poem.
